SINGAPORE EMPLOYMENT PASS

Employment Pass (EP) is a type of work pass issued to foreign directors, professional employees, managers, and of Singapore companies. There is no levy / CPF for the Employment Pass holder but Employment Pass is normally issued for 1-2 years at a time and renewable thereafter. An Employment Pass enables the applicant to work, stay in Singapore & travel in and out of Singapore freely without applying for VISAs to enter Singapore.

Note: You can also choose to apply for EntrepreneurPass before you setup your company in Singapore.
However Entrepreneur Pass Renewal Criteria is Much More Tougher to Achieve for Most Clients.
