Working in Singapore

Singapore is a compact island city-state with strong opportunities in aviation, logistics, hospitality, technology, finance, healthcare and international business. Its multicultural society blends Chinese, Malay, Indian and Western influences, reflected in food, festivals and languages. Public transport is efficient, safe and widely used, while housing, especially central accommodation, can be expensive. The tropical climate is hot and humid throughout the year, with frequent rain. Popular areas include Marina Bay, Orchard, Sentosa, Chinatown, Little India and the East Coast. Foreign interns should check whether they need a Training Employment Pass, Training Work Permit or another approved pass; eligibility depends on nationality, institution and programme details.
