Yes, Singapore offers post-study work options for international graduates after an LLM, but these depend on securing a job and the right work pass.

- Employment Pass (EP): You must have a job offer from a Singapore employer, who will apply for the EP on your behalf. The minimum monthly salary for the EP is SGD 5,600 (subject to change), varying by sector and role.
- Long-Term Visit Pass (LTVP): If you don't have a job yet, you may apply for an LTVP, allowing you to stay up to 12 months to seek employment. The LTVP does not permit you to work.

Singapore's job market is competitive. There is no automatic post-study work visa, so timely job search and application for the correct pass are essential. If you need guidance on next steps, connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.
