Singapore imposes a "minimum qualifying salary' for a foreigner to be eligible to an Employment Pass entitling him to work in a managerial, executive or specialised job in Singapore. The minimum threshold criteria includes earning a salary of at least $5,000, which is benchmarked against the top one-third of the local professional, managers, executives and technicians (PMET) salaries by age. THe threshold is higher for professionals in financial services and is periodically reviewed. While such a measure may not affect foreign investors in a critical manner, it goes in the direction of restraining the possibility of nominating foreigners to key executive positions, and can be particularly more burdensome for SMEs.
