Tech.Pass - application & renewal

The Ministry of Manpower will be introducing a new ONE Pass (AI and Tech) track from January 2027. This will replace the Tech.Pass and offer more attractive terms, as Singapore strengthens our position as a global hub for AI and tech talent.

From 28 January 2027, EDB will no longer accept new and renewal Tech.Pass applications. Existing Tech.Pass holders can remain on their pass until its expiry. Eligible Tech.Pass holders can consider applying for the new ONE Pass (AI and Tech) track or other alternative work pass options thereafter.

For more information, please refer to our FAQs at the bottom of the page.
