Working in Singapore

Singapore is a compact island city-state with opportunities in aviation, logistics, hospitality, technology, finance, healthcare and manufacturing. Its multicultural society blends Chinese, Malay, Indian and international influences, reflected in its food, festivals and languages. Life is generally safe, efficient and convenient, with excellent public transport, healthcare and digital services. Housing can be expensive, particularly near central areas, so interns often consider shared accommodation or locations close to MRT lines. Singapore has a tropical climate, with year-round heat, humidity and frequent rain. Foreign interns must hold the appropriate work authorisation, commonly arranged or supported by the employer or educational institution; requirements vary by nationality and programme. New arrivals should budget for rent, transport, meals, deposits and insurance, and confirm visa conditions before travelling.
