The Singapore ONE Pass, launched in January 2023, is a five-year pass for the world's top talent — whether in business, arts, sports, science, or academia. Unlike the Employment Pass, ONE Pass holders are not tied to a single employer and can work for multiple companies simultaneously or start their own business without a separate EntrePass. It is designed for individuals earning SGD $30,000 or more per month or those with globally recognized exceptional achievements.
