Working in Singapore

Singapore is a compact, highly developed city-state with strong opportunities in hospitality, tourism, food and beverage, healthcare, technology and finance. The culture is multicultural, with English widely used alongside Mandarin, Malay and Tamil. Life is convenient and safe, supported by excellent public transport, reliable healthcare and a wide variety of restaurants and shopping areas. Housing can be expensive, especially near central districts, so many employees choose shared accommodation or locations close to MRT lines. Foreign professionals normally need an employer-sponsored work pass, such as an Employment Pass, S Pass or Work Permit, depending on qualifications, salary and occupation; the employer generally submits the application. New arrivals should budget for rent, transport, deposits and healthcare costs, and check current Ministry of Manpower requirements before relocating.
