SURETIES & GUARANTEES

Immigration/Security Bond

If you hire non-Malaysian foreign work permit workers in Singapore, MOM requires employers to provide a S$5,000 cash deposit for each worker. Instead of paying the full amount in cash, you can choose Insurer’s Security Bond. This helps you meet MOM requirements without tying up your business funds.

At AWG Insurance, we can provide MOM-compliant security bond for employers hiring non-Malaysian work permit holders, giving you a simple and cost-effective solution.

Additional Information

How Security Bond Insurance Works in Singapore


Rather than locking up S$5,000 in cash per worker, many employers in Singapore choose security bond insurance—a policy-based alternative that satisfies MOM’s security bond requirement while preserving valuable working capital.

Key responsibilities covered under the bond include:

  • Ensuring timely repatriation of the worker

  • Payment of outstanding salaries or levies

  • Compliance with work permit regulations and employment laws

At AWG Insurance, we simplify the process and provide full support from start to finish:

  • Eligibility Check: Our team begins by assessing your company’s registration details, industry type, and foreign manpower requirements. This allows us to determine whether you’re eligible for security bond insurance in Singapore and recommend the most suitable plan for your business profile.

  • Document Submission: Our consultants will guide you through the process to ensure all documents are accurate and complete for swift approval.

  • Instant Quotation: Once your documents are verified, we’ll provide a fast and competitive premium quote based on factors such as the number of workers, industry risks, and company size. We aim to offer the best value while ensuring complete compliance with security bond MOM standards.

  • Policy Issuance & Submission to MOM: Upon acceptance of the quote, your bond certificate will be issued immediately. We will submit the certificate directly to the MOM through the appropriate e-service channels, ensuring there are no delays to your workers’ permit approvals.

In most cases, your security bond insurance can be fully processed and approved within three working days. As a trusted insurance agent in Singapore, we ensure speed, accuracy, and affordability.
