Employment Pass
An Employment Pass (EP) is a Singapore work visa created by the Ministry of Manpower (MOM) to attract foreign professionals, managers, and owners or directors of Singaporean companies. An Employment Pass allows you to live and work in Singapore, as well as travel in and out of the country without applying for an entry visa. It is generally valid for 1-2 years and can be renewed after that. You can then apply for Singapore Permanent Residence (PR).
