Are there any stay-back options or post-study work opportunities in Singapore after completing the LLM course?

Yes, Singapore offers post-study work options and internships for international students.

After completing your studies, you can apply for work passes such as:
- Employment Pass: For professionals with a typical minimum salary of S$5,000/month (subject to change).
- S Pass: For mid-level skilled workers, with a typical minimum salary of S$3,150/month (subject to change).
- Work Holiday Pass: For young graduates from eligible countries, valid for up to 6 - 12 months.
- Training Employment Pass: For training roles, with a typical minimum salary of S$3,000/month.

International students can also take internships if they meet visa requirements. Student Pass holders may work during vacations without a separate work permit.

Visa rules and work pass requirements are subject to change. For personalized guidance, connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.

Yes, you can stay in Singapore after completing your studies, but post-study work options are limited and depend on your situation.

- Long-Term Visit Pass (LTVP): Graduates from recognized institutions can apply for an LTVP, allowing you to stay up to 12 months to look for a job. You cannot work until you secure employment and your employer sponsors your work pass.
- Employment Pass (EP): Once you have a job offer, your employer can apply for an EP. The minimum salary is typically SGD 5,600/month, subject to change and assessment criteria.
- S Pass: For mid-skilled roles, the S Pass requires a lower minimum salary (SGD 3,300/month), but also needs employer sponsorship.
- Work Holiday Pass (WHP): If you are 18 - 25 and from an eligible university, you may qualify for a WHP to work and holiday in Singapore for up to 6 months.

You must secure employment and the relevant work pass before your LTVP or WHP expires. Eligibility and policies are subject to change. For personalized guidance, connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.
