Overseas Networks Expertise (ONE) Pass in Singapore

A premium work pass for global leaders, innovators and top-tier professionals

Singapore’s Overseas Networks Expertise (ONE) Pass is designed for accomplished individuals who operate at the very top of their fields. Whether you are a senior executive, visionary entrepreneur, leading technologist, academic, researcher, or accomplished artist, the ONE Pass gives you the flexibility, independence and long-term stability to build your career, on your terms, in one of the world’s most competitive business hubs.

At Crown Relocations Singapore, we provide end-to-end advisory and application support for the ONE Pass, helping global talent and their families transition smoothly into Singapore with confidence, compliance and peace of mind.

Trusted by global leaders: Supporting senior executives relocating to Singapore across finance, technology, life sciences and professional services.

What is the ONE Pass?

The ONE Pass is a personalised work pass, issued to the individual rather than tied to a specific employer. Introduced by Singapore’s Ministry of Manpower (MOM), it is targeted at outstanding professionals who bring exceptional skills, networks and expertise into Singapore’s economy.

With a five-year validity (renewable), the ONE Pass offers unmatched career flexibility, allowing you to work across multiple organisations, take on board roles, or even start your own business, without having to reapply for new work passes.

Who is the ONE Pass for?

The ONE Pass is ideal for individuals who:

  • Hold senior leadership or C-suite roles in global organisations
  • Are recognised experts in technology, finance, science, academia, or research
  • Are accomplished professionals in arts, culture or sports
  • Operate as consultants, advisors or entrepreneurs across multiple entities
  • Require freedom to change employers without immigration disruption

Eligibility (as of 2026) is assessed through:

  • High salary benchmarks (typically SGD 30,000 per month and above), or
  • Exceptional achievements or outstanding professional track record

Wondering if you’re eligible for ONE Pass? Our immigration specialists assess your profile carefully and advise on the strongest eligibility route for your application.
