What Guides Our Approach


Methodical Process

Each matter follows a structured workflow — from initial assessment through to completion — so nothing is overlooked and you know where things stand.

Singapore Expertise

Deep familiarity with Ministry of Manpower requirements, local legal practice, and the specific documentation standards that apply in Singapore.

Plain Communication

Legal matters are explained without jargon. You receive a clear picture of what is happening and why at each stage of your matter.

Set Fees, No Surprises

Fixed pricing is agreed before work begins. Any change in scope is discussed with you first, so there are no unexpected charges at the end.

Progress Updates

You receive updates at each meaningful milestone. For longer matters such as work pass applications, submission and outcome notifications are sent promptly.

Combined Legal Scope

Immigration, contracts, and notarisation are handled under one roof. Businesses that need more than one service benefit from a single, consistent point of contact.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions


What work passes does tessarls assist with?
tessarls supports a range of work pass applications through the Ministry of Manpower, including the Employment Pass for qualified professionals, the S Pass for mid-skilled workers, the EntrePass for entrepreneurs establishing a business in Singapore, and Dependant Pass applications for eligible family members of pass holders.
How long does a contract review or drafting engagement typically take?
Most contract matters are completed within one to three weeks from the date all relevant information is received. More complex arrangements or those involving multiple revision rounds may take a little longer — we will give you a realistic timeline at the outset so you can plan accordingly.
What documents can be notarised at tessarls?
We handle notarisation for statutory declarations, affidavits, powers of attorney, corporate resolutions, and similar documents intended for use in Singapore or overseas. Each matter is reviewed individually to ensure the correct notarial form is applied for the document's intended purpose and destination jurisdiction.
Do I need to attend in person for notarisation?
For most notarial matters, the person signing or declaring is required to appear personally at our office. We will confirm specific requirements when you make an enquiry, as these vary depending on the nature of the document and the jurisdiction where it will be used.
How are tessarls's fees structured?
We work on a fixed-fee basis for our standard services: SGD 1,350 for immigration advisory, SGD 880 for contract review or drafting, and SGD 280 for notarisation matters. Any additional scope that falls outside the standard scope is discussed and agreed with you before any further work is undertaken.
What should I prepare before making an initial enquiry?
For immigration matters, having identity documents, employment offer letters, and educational certificates to hand is a useful starting point. For contract work, sharing the relevant draft or a brief description of the agreement is helpful. For notarisation, having the document available allows us to advise on the correct process and turnaround time.
Can tessarls assist with overseas legalisation requirements after notarisation?
Where documents require further legalisation or apostille certification for recognition abroad, we provide guidance on the steps involved and can direct you to the appropriate Singapore authorities. The specific requirements depend on the destination country and the nature of the document.
Does tessarls handle appeals for work pass applications that are not approved?
Yes. Appeal support is included as part of our immigration advisory service. If an application is not approved by MOM, we review the decision, assess the basis for an appeal, and prepare the relevant supporting materials and representations where appropriate.
