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: Warehouse and driver jobs need a services Work Permit, open only to Malaysia, China, Hong Kong, Macau, South Korea and Taiwan; degree-holding planners: Employment Pass.
Before you apply: Driver jobs need a licence that counts in that country, and a foreign one may not carry over: Japan's truck-driver visa asks for a class 1 licence, Qatar residents sit a driving test, and Ireland's permit list asks for a CE or C1E truck licence or one it recognises.
Watch for: Heavy-vehicle driving opened to South Asians and Filipinos in September 2025 only for people who already held a Class 4 or 5 licence by 1 September 2025.
