Can I work in Singapore?
Never pay anyone for a visa or a job offer. A real employer pays the permit costs and never asks you for money.
How it works
How it works: South Asian and Filipino cabin crew: Work Permit since September 2026 (SGD 2,000+ a month, 8% cap); others need an S Pass (SGD 3,300+); senior roles an Employment Pass.
Before you apply: Cabin crew usually pass the airline's medical, a background check and a safety course (some add a swim test); many set age, height and English rules. Pilots need a licence the local aviation authority accepts; some only validate a foreign one.
Watch for: Ground line jobs follow the services Work Permit list (Malaysia, China, Hong Kong, Macau, South Korea, Taiwan) or need an S Pass; the airline needs a Singapore air operator certificate or a foreign operator's permit.
