Singapore Immigration Updates - Updates from MOM on COMPASS
08 August 2023
This is an update to our previous Alert on the Complementarity Assessment
(COMPASS) Framework in November 2022.
Effective from 1 September 2023, the Ministry of Manpower (“MOM”) will launch the
COMPASS framework to determine foreign professionals’ eligibility for Employment
Pass (“EP”) in Singapore. Under the COMPASS framework, an applicant must
score at least 40 points on four foundation criteria (i.e., salary, qualifications, diversity,
and support for local employment) and two bonus criteria (i.e., skills and strategic
economic priorities).
