Work Permit For IT Position (Software engineer)

cmyaeaungdev

I'm from Myanmar and I got an offer from Singapore company. They are applying for work permit. I don't know why they don't apply S pass even though I'm eligible.

MOM website describes 5 different sectors for Work Permit. And I didn't find IT industry.

I think the company may be under service sector but my country is not eligible for this sector.

Can work permit be approve for me with IT position ?

IT jobs are not the target group for WP - and WP also has other serious disadvantages for you (e.g. you have to stay in company-provided housing, normally faceless dormitories in remote locations, and you cannot change jobs or travel easily).
I think you should convince them to apply for S-Pass instead, or look for another employer.
