After masters in Singapore, will I get only three months to find a job or internship?
After completing your master's in Singapore, you have a 30-day grace period after your Student Pass ends to find a job and transition to a work pass. If you secure a job offer in this time, your employer can apply for an Employment Pass for you. If not, you may apply for a Short-Term Visit Pass, which extends your stay by up to 90 days, but it does not allow you to work during that period. Singapore does not offer a dedicated post-study work visa, so it’s important to begin your job search early to maximise your chances of staying on.
