Is there a minimum salary to sponsor an Employment Pass?
Yes — Employment Pass categories carry minimum monthly salary thresholds, with the category determining pass duration and dependant rights, and the sponsoring company must be ESD-registered. Because thresholds and category rules are revised periodically, any figure quoted online ages quickly. Confirm the current position against ESD's published requirements at the time you apply.
