LEADER EMPLOYMENT PTE LTD is a registered employment agency and has been approved and licensed by the Ministry of Manpower to handle the Long Term Visit Pass Application on your behalf. We can help with the initial stage, eligibility criteria, and all required compliance checks, right through to the actual application process itself, including the application for Singapore EP.

The pass holder can live and work in Singapore without the need to apply for an entry visa when the main holder is active in Singapore.
