An average of 420 employers were hauled up each year from 2021 to 2024 for hiring foreign workers without a valid work pass in Singapore.

About 200 of them were prosecuted or fined annually, while the rest - mainly cases involving first-time offenders or illegal employment over a short period - were given a warning, said the Ministry of Manpower (MOM) on Oct 13 in response to queries.

An MOM spokesman said: “In general, foreigners must possess valid work passes to work in Singapore.

“Businesses and individuals engaging foreigners to work in Singapore must ensure that they hold valid passes before starting work in the specified job. This is not a new requirement.”

He added that MOM also takes into account a host of factors in deciding the penalty, including the duration of the offence and how many illegal workers were involved.
