What are the visa & residency requirements in Singapore?

"To apply for a visa to Singapore, applicants must submit a completed visa application form, a valid passport, a passport-sized photograph, and any other documents required by the Singapore Immigration and Checkpoints Authority. Depending on the type of visa, applicants may also need to provide proof of financial resources, a medical report, and a police clearance certificate. To apply for residency in Singapore, applicants must first obtain an Employment Pass, Personalised Employment Pass, EntrePass, or Dependent Pass. These passes are issued by the Ministry of Manpower and require applicants to submit a completed application form, a valid passport, a passport-sized photograph, and other documents such as proof of qualifications, proof of financial resources, and a medical report. Once the pass is approved, applicants can then apply for a Long Term Visit Pass or a Permanent Residence. The application process for these passes requires applicants to submit a completed application form, a valid passport, a passport-sized photograph, and other documents such as proof of qualifications, proof of financial resources, and a medical report," remarked another expat who made the move to Singapore.
