Rikvin Processes Entrepreneur Pass Application

							Rikvin Processes Entrepreneur Pass Application
A foreign national seeking to explore the entrepreneurial landscape of Singapore and whose credentials
are emphasized more with impressive experience in handling a business than in completing a tertiary
education in a prestigious higher learning institution may find the Entrepreneur pass to be favorable.

To apply, a foreign national has two options: send the application before or after the incorporation of a
company. Generally however, an EntrePass, its short name, is applied before a company is registered.

The application is best channeled through a professional firm based in Singapore for convenience and
cost efficiency. Foreign investors need not stay in Singapore to personally handle the application until the
labor pass is approved.

Rikvin, a reputable business solutions creator catering to foreign nationals and companies chants that a
Singapore Entrepreneur pass— exclusive for investors pass—requires extensive requirements.

“Since it does not bank on a Bachelor’s Degree and higher, the Ministry of Manpower is curious to know
about the applicant’s capability and financial capacity in running a business in Singapore.”

First off, when it comes to financial capability, a businessman is advised to invest a minimum of S$50,000
during registration. This amount is based on the revised rules of Entrepreneur pass taking effect on
September 28, 2009. Depending on the nature of the business, some companies are more capital-
intensive than others. Thus, should it be necessary, the capital investment may be raised higher.

Such is especially true as investors are expected to cover startup expenses for their business for the first
3 to 6 months.

Says Rikvin: “A company shall employ locals as part of their staff and relative to the number of local staff
employed, the annual Total Business Spending amount varies.”

Another requirement equally important is the 10-page business proposal to be submitted to the Ministry of
Manpower along with other required documents.

Rikvin continues: “The business proposal must highlight the principal activities of the company in
Singapore. Among others, it should catalogue the business goals including the target revenues, the
methodologies employed to their attainment, and risk management approaches.”

The business proposal must be entrepreneurial in nature. It must also sound feasible. To help enhance
the chances of the entrepreneur’s approval for the labor pass, Rikvin extends its expertise in drafting the
proposal itself.

“We have a team of professionals including accountants and market analysts adept at devising any
written instrument with sound and strong infrastructure,” says its business consultant.

An indication of an approval is a notification from the ministry sent through an e-mail to the applicant.
Known as In-Principle Approval, the applicant will use such document to gain entry into the city-state to
claim the labor pass from the Work Pass Division.

Rikvin can assist foreigner in setting up the appointment between the Minister and the applicant.
