graduated student with MOE bond S-pass rejection

For S pass the minimum fixed salary is $2,200. So if the company does not offer the minimum salary of $2,200 (at least) then you are not eligible for S pass. Ask your employer to increase your fixed salary to the minimum qualification level in order for you to qualify for selection of S pass. Good luck

Hi thanks for reply!
Yes the salary they offered when applied is 2.200$ met the minimum!
Now im caught in the middle while MOE wants me to work here to serve the bond but MOM doesnt approve!
I don't understand what they want me to do!

Should be higher than $2,200, as you have 3 years experience before coming here (hoping the experience you had, is related to your current job application), and looking at current market (though I don't know your field), but with the experience of 3 years and more, you should expect around $3,000 at least. The salary level to below market standard is considered as negative to your application as MoM doesn't want employer creates an atmosphere of insecurity among the local talents. Try to negotiate to increase your salary to market standard and appeal once again. Same time check all the documents provided to MoM that there shouldn't have any wrong Information in the declaration form. Good luck.

Thanks for the recommendation. really appreaciated.
But there is one thing i don't understand when they stated: "this candidate does not qualify for S-pass"
It seems to be odd because i got letter from school and that letter was supported by MOM declaring my eligibility for S-pass and I also pass the online SAT!
So is it because of me does not meet requirements or whatsoever? This is really confusing!

It could be the reason of your salary which was below the market standard to qualify for S pass. Below link from MoM will help you to understand better.

I agree with Surya: You probably need at least S$3000/month to get an S-Pass (and to be fairly paid!).
Since MoE or a college cannot decide whether you are eligible for an S-Pass (only MoM can), this letter you got is useless.
On the positive side, if you cannot get a work visa, your tuition bond is void and you can go home without penalty.

Hello,
I've just made this account to put in an advice.
So you were under a TG bond, but your Spass was rejected?
It states that you are not eligible for an Spass, even though you have a bond?

You can still appeal on the application with additional documents which includes:
1. SPass recommendation letter (This can be obtained from the school).
2. Recommendation letter from your Care Person during your poly days.
3. A letter from your boss on why he is keen to hire you.

Point No.1 is valuable as it states that you are eligible for SPass and needs to serve the bond, and that your application will be considered 'favourably'. Of course the basic requirements such the company must have sufficient quota must be met.

As appeal may be judged on case by case basis, with the 3 letters above hopefully it will increase your chances. For letter No.1, approach the international student's office.

Hi avans,

Could you please share the final result,..
Just wondering how strong the letter from school (eligibility for EP) to apply EP? Thanks
