The Ministry of Manpower (MOM) has introduced key updates to the COMPASS framework that will significantly impact Employment Pass (EP) applications in 2025.
What's Changing?
- Expanded Qualification Checks: More approved institutions, changes to top-tier university scoring, and new verification requirements.
- Revised COMPASS Scoring: Adjustments to how on-campus, part-time, and distance learning degrees are evaluated.
- New Agency Approvals: Additional governing bodies involved in EP qualification assessments.
- Updated MOM Self-Assessment Tool (SAT): Enhanced search functionality—but also new potential pitfalls to avoid.
