FAQ

+ Can I work from home without a Letter of Consent?

According to the Ministry of Manpower (MOM), you can. A Letter of Consent (LoC) will not be required when:

  • The Dependent’s Pass (DP) holder is working for an overseas company from home; and
  • The overseas company has no local presence; and
  • The DP holder is not meeting or providing services to clients in Singapore.
  • Therefore, you may still perform work for your overseas employer via telecommunicating from home if all the above requirements are met.

The MOM doesn’t mind you working here… if you’re not really working here. If you’re working from home, in your offshore company and not meeting clients here in Singapore, you’re good to go. Being a boss. In your pyjamas. SOLD.

Alternatively, if you’re still interested in launching your business here, you can explore these two options.
