VisaHQ vs. Immigration Lawyer

| Compare your chances of getting all available work visa types to multiple countries and select the easiest path | Immigration attorney would only assist with 1 possible country |
| Up to 70 different visa types, scenarios, and special programs for each country are analyzed for possible matches | Immigration lawyers would usually specialize in 2-3 most profitable and streamlined schemes they choose to focus on |
| VisaHQ will present you with a clear path forward, list of specific requirements, filing fees, and processing times | Immigration lawyers would normally avoid the full transparency and bring you along one step at a time after you commit to the process |
| VisaHQ is fully transparent with all filing fees and service fees upfront | An immigration lawyer would normally charge by the hour and would add various fees along the way |
| 24/7 Support available via chat, phone, or email, regardless of what country you live in | Very few immigration lawyers provide continuing on demand support. Getting in touch may be challenging |

Frequently asked questions about the Singapore work visa
What type of work permit do I need to work in Singapore as a Canadian?
As a Canadian moving to Singapore for work, you may need to apply for one of several work permits depending on your qualifications and the job type, such as the Employment Pass for professionals or the S Pass for mid-skilled workers.
What are the basic eligibility criteria for obtaining an Employment Pass?
To qualify for an Employment Pass, you typically need a job offer from a Singapore employer, recognized qualifications, and a minimum monthly salary threshold that varies based on your job role.
How can I find a job in Singapore before applying for a work permit?
You can search for job opportunities in Singapore through online job portals, company career websites, or recruitment agencies specializing in your field. Networking is also a valuable tool.
What documents are required for the work permit application process?
Commonly required documents include your passport, a recent passport-sized photograph, your educational certificates, job offer letter, and the completed application form. Specific requirements may vary, so check with the Ministry of Manpower.
Is there a processing time for work permit applications?
The processing time for work permit applications can vary, but it generally takes about 1 to 3 weeks for the Ministry of Manpower to process your application, provided all documents are in order.
Can my family accompany me to Singapore on a work permit?
Yes, if you hold an Employment Pass, you can apply for Dependant Passes for your spouse and children. However, eligibility criteria apply, including minimum salary requirements.
Are there any restrictions on changing jobs while on a work permit in Singapore?
Yes, if you wish to change jobs while on a work permit, you must obtain a new work permit linked to the new employer. This means that your new employer must submit a new application to the Ministry of Manpower.
What costs should I consider when applying for a work permit?
While I cannot provide specific pricing details, consider costs such as application fees, any necessary document translations, and potential legal fees if you use an immigration consultant.
What should I do if my work permit application is rejected?
If your application is rejected, you will receive a notification with reasons for the rejection. You can address those reasons and reapply, or you may opt to seek advice from your employer or an immigration consultant.
Can I work for multiple employers on a single work permit?
No, each work permit is specific to one employer. If you wish to work for another employer, you will need to apply for a new work permit reflecting that employer.
