Your Singapore S Pass, Handled Properly
S-Pass Application Services
The S Pass is subject to a salary floor, a company quota, and a monthly levy, and a single miss means rejection. First Immigration checks your quota and eligibility first, then manages the S Pass application end to end, from MyCareersFuture advertising to MOM submission and issuance.

100% confidential. Response within 24 hours.

We check your quota before you apply
Even a well-qualified candidate cannot get an S Pass if your company has no quota headroom, and submitting without it means an automatic rejection. We check your live S Pass quota (based on your local workforce and the S$1,800 Local Qualifying Salary), confirm the levy, and only proceed when there is room. See our guide on the S Pass quota.
