Destination Guide

Singapore is a compact, highly developed island city-state with strong opportunities in hospitality, tourism, food and beverage, finance, technology, healthcare and logistics. The culture is multicultural, with English widely used alongside Mandarin, Malay and Tamil. Life is convenient and safe, with excellent public transport, modern shopping centres, diverse food options and plentiful parks, although accommodation and daily expenses can be high. Hospitality jobs may be available to foreign workers, but employment generally requires an employer-sponsored work pass, such as an Employment Pass, S Pass or eligible Work Permit, depending on qualifications, salary and occupation.
