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: Employment Pass: SGD 5,600+ a month at 23 (6,000 from January 2027), more with age, plus 40 COMPASS points; a degree from a top-tier university scores 20 of them.
Before you apply: Schools want a degree and often a teaching qualification, and some places license teachers before you can teach: schools maintained by councils in England, and schools in Hong Kong, New Zealand and Thailand. Ask which licence your post needs.
Watch for: The post is usually advertised to locals for 14 days first; teacher aides and infant caregivers in licensed childcare centres are on the Work Permit list for South Asians and Filipinos since September 2026.
Official source: Ministry of Manpower: COMPASS points framework. Checked November 2026.
