Number of Intra-company Transferees from India Approved under Comprehensive Economic Cooperation Agreement

4 Mr Leon Perera asked the Minister for Manpower what is the number of intra-company transferees from India that have been approved under the Comprehensive Economic Cooperation Agreement (CECA) with India from the year when the agreement came into effect to the latest year for which data is available.

Mr Lim Swee Say: Intra-company transferees (ICTs) from any country, including India, would need to meet the Ministry's work pass qualifying criteria to work in Singapore. The only difference is that ICTs from all countries are exempted from the advertisement requirement in our Jobs Bank. The Ministry does not disclose data on foreign manpower with breakdown by nationality, including data on ICTs.
