From the 1st of September 2023, Ministry of Manpower (MOM) requires Employment Pass (EP) candidates (from any country) to pass a 2-stage eligibility framework:

Stage 1 – Qualifying salary

Stage 2 – COMPASS or Complementarity Assessment Framework

With the implementation of COMPASS, post-secondary diploma and above qualifications declared to MOM should be supported with a Verification Proof. This requirement applies to new EP applications from 1 September 2023, and renewals from 1 September 2024.
