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: Line jobs need a Work Permit only listed countries can get; others need an S Pass (SGD 3,300+ a month, 10% cap) or an Employment Pass (SGD 5,600+, points test).
Watch for: Work Permits go only to listed countries. Indians, Sri Lankans, Bangladeshis and Filipinos qualify for hotel housekeeping, porter, cook, kitchen and waiter jobs only, at SGD 2,000+ a month and within an 8% cap.
