Document background
The Letter of Intent for Work Permit is a crucial preliminary document in Singapore's foreign employment process. It is typically issued when an employer has selected a foreign candidate and intends to proceed with the work permit application process. This document serves multiple purposes: it demonstrates the employer's commitment to hire, provides necessary information for work permit applications, and outlines basic employment terms. The letter must comply with Singapore's Ministry of Manpower requirements and is often required by diplomatic missions for visa processing. While not legally binding like an employment contract, it is an essential step in the foreign worker recruitment process and helps ensure transparency between all parties involved.
