Singapore Certificate of Employment for Foreign Worker Visa Applications

Singapore Certificate of Employment for Foreign Worker Visa Applications

A Certificate of Employment is often required when foreign workers based in Singapore apply for visas to third countries—whether for business travel, relocation, or family visits. Embassy and consular officials rely on this document to verify employment status, income and length of service with a Singapore employer.

What is included in this certificate?

This template captures all the information typically requested by foreign embassies:

• Employee details: Full name, passport number, nationality, and current residential address in Singapore
• Employment confirmation: Job title, department, employment start date, and current employment status
• Salary information: Monthly gross salary and any allowances, presented in Singapore Dollars (SGD)
• Purpose statement: A clear declaration from the employer confirming the employee's role, tenure and income
• Authorised signatory details: Name, title, and contact details of the HR representative or manager issuing the certificate

Who is this template for?

This form is designed for HR teams, employers, and professional services firms in Singapore who regularly support foreign employees with visa applications. It streamlines the process of issuing standardised, compliant employment certificates without drafting each one from scratch.
