Singapore's employer costs are low: CPF applies only to citizens and permanent residents, and the Skills Development Levy is small. The main question is usually whether the hire needs an Employment Pass, which must be applied for by a Singapore-registered employer.
The best EOR for Singapore is one that sponsors Employment Passes, explains how it handles a rejected application, and itemises CPF and SDL on its invoices.

Employment Pass sponsorship
Ask whether the provider sponsors Employment Passes, its fees for doing so and what happens if an application is rejected. Qualifying salaries rise from January 2027.
- 2
