Do I need an employment pass before entering Singapore?

For a secondment from UK to Singapore with all job details confirmed, can I apply my employment pass only upon arrival? OR do I need to have this ready before entering Singapore?

Better get it done before entering at your nearest Embassy.
Reply:You can enter on a social visit pass first and then apply for an employment pass. See below for more:

Reply:It's probably best to go straight to the source. Here's the MoM website section regarding work passes. I've found a lot of useful information regarding the procedure/requirements here:

Reply:You cannot work without a valid employment pass. It will take 3 - 4 weeks from Ministry of Manpower (MOM) and the HR in your company based in Singapore should have everything done ready for you. You should also receive a copy of the in-principle approval letter from MOM in soft copy so that you can show it at customs when you arrive. You will still enter the country on Social Visit Pass, but you will be required to submit your passport and disembarkment card to collect your employment pass.
