Engage An Agency Or DIY?
All foreigners who intend to work in Singapore must apply for a valid pass (commonly known as a work visa) before they could start work. If you are engaging foreigners to work in your company, you must ensure that they hold a valid pass according to their job type. Generally, the pass application process takes up to 10 business days. This timeline is important for you to plan for the onboarding of the new candidate.
From consolidating complex documents to meeting firm government requirements, work pass applications in Singapore is not easy and can be stressful. There are times where additional documents or proof are required which may not be easily available. Knowing how to professionally deal with the hiccups during the process of pass application is important. It helps to save time and be effective in solving the issues.
