Why applications on this route get refused

  • Salary below the qualifying amount

    The Employment Pass qualifying salary is benchmarked to local professional, manager, executive and technician (PMET) salaries by age, and is higher for financial services. A salary below the relevant threshold doesn't meet Stage 1 of the eligibility framework.

    How to avoid it: Check the current qualifying salary for your age and sector on the MOM website before your employer applies.

  • COMPASS score too low

    After the salary check, most applications must also score at least 40 points across the COMPASS framework's criteria (salary, qualifications, workforce diversity, local employment support, and any skills or strategic bonuses), unless the candidate is exempt.

    How to avoid it: Review the COMPASS criteria with your employer beforehand, since diversity and local employment scores depend partly on the employer's existing workforce.

  • Missing or unverifiable documents

    MOM may ask for documents to prove your qualifications or that your declared salary will actually be paid; not providing these when asked can hold up or refuse the application.

    How to avoid it: Have your qualification verification and salary evidence ready before applying, in case MOM requests them.
