The Singaporean government has reconfigured its permit system for temporary foreign workers amid an influx of laborers from overseas, Zetland Financial Group says.

The government abolished the Professional Visit Pass on February 1st and replaced it with two new work pass categories. The Miscellaneous Work Pass will be valid for up to 60 days, while the Work Permit (Performing Artist) has a maximum duration of six months.

In addition, foreigners may now enter Singapore without a work pass for short durations to perform certain activities that involve specialized skills.
