Working in Singapore

Singapore is a compact, highly developed island city with strong opportunities in hospitality, engineering, facilities management, technology, finance, healthcare and logistics. Hotel jobs are concentrated around Orchard Road, Marina Bay, Sentosa, the airport and major business districts. The culture is multicultural, orderly and generally English-speaking, with Malay, Chinese, Indian and international influences. Public transport is excellent, while housing, dining and healthcare are convenient but living costs can be high. Singapore is hot and humid year-round, with frequent rain. Foreign employees normally need an employer-sponsored work pass, such as an Employment Pass, S Pass or Work Permit, subject to salary, qualifications, quotas and eligibility rules. New arrivals should arrange approved employment before relocating, check pass conditions, budget carefully for accommodation, and confirm medical, insurance and relocation benefits with the employer.
