Yes, after completing your master's in Singapore, you can stay for up to one year to search for a job by applying for a Long-Term Visit Pass (LTVP).

The LTVP lets you remain in Singapore legally while you look for employment, but you cannot work during this period. Once you receive a job offer, your employer can apply for a work pass (such as the Employment Pass) on your behalf, allowing you to start working.

Start your job search early and use your university's career resources to improve your chances of finding employment.
