About this Visa
The Training Employment Pass (TEP) is a temporary visa for foreign professionals or students coming to Singapore for training. It allows you to stay for up to 3 months to learn practical skills at a specific company. This pass is strictly for training purposes, not for regular long-term employment. You must have a detailed training plan to get this visa. The government checks this plan carefully to ensure you are not secretly working a full-time job. It is ideal for university students doing internships or corporate employees training at a Singapore branch.
