EP COMPASS pre-scoring (why filings fail)
- C1 Salary: ≥ 65th percentile local PMET → 20 pts, or 90th → 10 pts.
- C2 Qualifications: Top-tier institution list (MOM published) → 20 pts.
- C3 Diversity: Firm's nationality concentration < 5% for your nationality → 20 pts.
- C4 Support for locals: Firm hires ≥ 50th percentile local PMET share → 20 pts.
- Bonus: Skills Shortage Occupation List (SSOL) or Strategic Economic Priorities → up to +20 pts.
- We pre-score in a dry-run before filing so no S$105 is wasted on a fail.
FAQ
- Do Thai passport holders need a visa for Singapore?
- No — Thai ordinary passport holders receive visa-free entry for up to 30 days for tourism/business. You must submit the SG Arrival Card (SGAC) within 3 days before arrival — free at eservices.ica.gov.sg. No paper form on arrival.
- Long-term passes we handle?
- Employment Pass (EP, S$5,000+/mo), S Pass (S$3,150+/mo, mid-skill), Tech.Pass (top tech talent, S$22,500/mo or SGD 1M raised), Overseas Networks & Expertise Pass (ONE Pass, S$30,000/mo), Dependant Pass, Long-Term Visit Pass (LTVP) for common-law spouse/parent, and Student Pass via SOLAR at ICA.
- How does EP COMPASS scoring work?
- Since Sep 2023, all EP applications are scored on the Complementarity Assessment Framework (COMPASS): 4 foundational (salary, qualifications, diversity, local support) + 2 bonus (skills shortage, strategic priorities). Need 40 pts minimum. We pre-score your profile and map remediation before filing.
- ONE Pass — who qualifies?
- Fixed monthly salary ≥ S$30,000 in last year (or Singapore-offered), OR outstanding achievement in arts/sports/science/academia/research. 5-year validity, sponsor-free, allows concurrent employment/founding, spouse works freely. Filed via myMOM portal — decision ~ 4 weeks.
- Timeline & fees?
- EP: MOM decision 10 wd + 1 wk pass issuance. S$105 application + S$225 issuance. Our service THB 25,000 (EP), THB 45,000 (ONE Pass with dossier build), THB 8,500 (LTVP dependant).
- Can I convert visitor to work pass in-country?
- No. Work passes must be issued before entry — you enter on a Single Journey Visa (issued after IPA letter). Overstaying or working on a social visit visa triggers permanent blacklist.

Frequently asked questions
- What is the DTV and who realistically qualifies?
- The Destination Thailand Visa is a five-year multiple-entry visa allowing stays of up to 180 days per entry, extendable once per entry by a further 180 days at an immigration office. It targets remote workers employed or contracted outside Thailand, freelancers with foreign clients, and participants in Thai soft-power activities such as Muay Thai training, cooking courses or medical treatment, and it requires evidence of at least THB 500,000 in available funds.
- How is the LTR visa different from the DTV?
- The Long-Term Resident visa is a ten-year visa administered by the Board of Investment for wealthy global citizens, wealthy pensioners, work-from-Thailand professionals and highly skilled professionals, and it bundles a digital work permit, a flat 17% personal income tax rate for the skilled-professional category and annual instead of 90-day reporting. The DTV is cheaper and faster but grants no work permit for Thai-sourced work and no tax privileges.
- Can I work in Thailand on a tourist or DTV visa?
- No — any work performed inside Thailand requires a work permit or an equivalent digital work authorization, regardless of where the employer or client is located. The DTV is intended for work delivered to foreign employers and clients; taking on Thai clients or a Thai employer requires switching to a Non-B or LTR pathway with proper authorization.
- What most often causes a Schengen or UK visa refusal from Thailand?
- The dominant causes are weak evidence of ties to Thailand, bank statements that show a sudden unexplained deposit shortly before filing, inconsistencies between the application form and supporting documents, insufficient or non-compliant travel insurance, and an itinerary that does not match the stated purpose. Refusals are recorded, so a re-application must directly address the refusal ground rather than simply resubmit the same file.
