SINGAPORE: There will be no hard cap on how long a migrant worker can work here from July 1, 2025, in a move that is set to reshape Singapore’s foreign workforce for years to come.
Currently, work permit holders can be employed here for a limit of 14 to 26 years. This limit will be removed, said Manpower Minister Tan See Leng in Parliament on March 6. The change does not apply to migrant domestic workers, who come under a slightly different regime.
