Yes, you are eligible to apply for a master's program abroad even with gap years after your bachelor's in 2019.

Universities generally focus on how you have used your time since graduation. Your 3 years of work experience will support your application, especially if it is relevant to your intended field of study. Most institutions, including those in Singapore, assess both academic background and professional experience.

To strengthen your application, ensure you have strong recommendation letters, a clear personal statement, and meet all program-specific requirements.
