Miscellaneous Work Pass About the Pass

From 1 February 2008, the following groups of foreigners entering Singapore for short-term assignments will require a Miscellaneous Work Pass (previously Professional Visit Pass categories A to C as shown below):

1. A foreigner who is involved in activities directly related to the organisation or conduct of any seminar, conference, workshop, gathering or talk concerning any religion, race or community, cause, or political end;
   
   
2. A foreign religious worker giving talks relating directly or indirectly to any religion; and
   
   
3. A foreign journalist, reporter or an accompanying crew member not supported/sponsored by any Singapore Government agency to cover an event or write a story in Singapore

Foreign artistes performing at night-clubs, lounges, pubs, restaurants, hotels and country clubs, would no longer be issued with a Professional Visit Pass and instead be issued with a Work Permit (Performance Artistes).
