Frequently asked questions
- How do I find companies that sponsor visas in Singapore?
- Start with firms that can clear the COMPASS points framework to secure an Employment Pass. Then cross-check any specific role with Movework, which reads the job description and tells you whether that employer is signalling sponsorship for this position.
- Which companies are most likely to sponsor in Singapore?
- In Singapore, larger tech, engineering, finance, and healthcare employers sponsor most often, because they already run the Employment Pass process. Startups sponsor less frequently unless the role is hard to fill locally.
- Does a company sponsoring visas mean every role is open to me?
- No. A company can hold a sponsor licence yet still post roles that won't sponsor — budget, seniority, and location all matter. Always check the specific JD, which is exactly what Movework does.
- Is it worth applying to Singapore jobs that don't mention sponsorship?
- Sometimes — Singapore employers often stay silent rather than say no. Movework flags silent JDs so you can prioritise the ones with stronger sponsorship signals.
