Education verification for work pass applications

As seen in The Business Times and Deloitte

MOM now requires that all foreign nationals looking to work in Singapore must obtain a valid work visa.

If you’re planning to work or renew your work pass in Singapore, Veremark can help you ensure that the background verification for your work pass application is compliant with the government’s guidelines.

Why our clients love us

Your service has surpassed expectations; we're grateful for the substantial effort you and your team have invested in this, along with the various solutions, alternative routes and strategies you have explored and suggested

Azian Rahmat,
HR Manager, Consultancy

I recently had a particularly time-sensitive request related to an EP renewal. I was impressed by how swiftly the Veremark team handled the request, providing the verification report within just six days.

Devangana Yadav,
Head of Operations, Investment Firm

Veremark: Transparency and simplicity, completion of check in a timely manner. I also wrote in to MOM to provide feedback on Veremark's good work. I strongly believe that service providers must be up to the mark, or they will bring Singapore's business environment into disrepute simply by association of accreditation by MOM.

Wei Xuan Toh,
Project Manager, Retail Departmental Stores

The verification proof services and the reports provided by Veremark were more professional and detailed than what were provided by other MOM approved background agencies we have seen from our EP clients. We have also clients who were frustrated with the services provided by other agencies and decided to use Veremark as well. My team generally feels assured whenever our clients decide to engage Veremark for the verification service.

Lim Che Koon,
Immigration Manager

Veremark did a great job of verifying my credentials, although they are from over 30 years ago. They did not stop until they had a positive result and was even able to provide me with good relevant advice.

Ilya Gutlin,
Senior Vice President, APAC

We were really impressed with how streamlined the process has been and definitely intend to collaborate with Veremark in the future for similar requirements.

CEO
