Frequently asked questions

Can any small business qualify?

No. The business must fit the venture-backed or innovative-technology framework and excluded activities do not qualify.

Is there a fixed minimum salary?

MOM's EntrePass key facts do not stipulate a minimum salary, but the business and applicant must meet the route criteria.

Can family join?

Family eligibility depends on current business spending, local workforce or alternative founder-achievement criteria and requires separate passes.
