Immigration Update – Complementarity Assessment Framework (COMPASS) – Employment Pass Renewal Effective September 1, 2024

Regarding the implementation of the Complementarity Assessment Framework (COMPASS) for Employment Pass (EP) renewal applications effective September 1, 2024, please be advised that EPs expiring from this date onward will need to undergo the COMPASS evaluation as part of the renewal process.

If your employee requires points from C2-Qualification to pass the COMPASS evaluation, it is crucial to provide verification proof for their diploma or higher qualification during the EP renewal process.

Here are some key considerations:

• Declaring educational qualifications during EP renewal is optional. Employees can still meet COMPASS requirements by scoring a minimum of 40 points from other assessment criteria. The Self-Assessment Tool (SAT) can help determine the likelihood of passing COMPASS.
