Electronic Submission of Supporting Documents via Employment Pass Online

New requirement for EP Online users

From 1 April 2011, the Employment Pass Online (EP Online) system will be enhanced to allow EP Online users to upload relevant supporting documents when submitting a work pass/related pass application. This means that employers will no longer need to submit physical copies of most supporting documents at MOM's Work Pass Services Centres for verification.

With the new system module, EP Online users would be prompted to upload specific supporting documents pertinent to that application.

As the documents submitted online are for verification purposes, please ensure that the following requirements are fulfilled:

• clear and correct copies of the documents are submitted;
• the recommended scanner resolution is 150dpi or more;
• only PDF file format would be acceptable for the document upload. Each document file size must not exceed 2MB; and
• supporting documents which are not in English should be submitted together with an official English translation. Both documents must be scanned and uploaded as one file.

For renewal of the work passes, uploading of supporting documents is not necessary unless there are new updates to the qualifications.

Please refer to the set of Frequently Asked Questions, as well as the list of supporting documents to be uploaded for the various pass applications.
