Yes, Singapore provides post-study work and stay-back options for international graduates.

- Long-Term Visit Pass (LTVP): Lets graduates from Singapore's Institutes of Higher Learning stay up to 12 months to look for work. You cannot work on this pass, but once you secure a job, your employer can apply for a work pass for you.
- Employment Pass (EP): For professionals with a job offer and a typical minimum monthly salary of SGD 5,000. Valid up to 2 years, renewable, and subject to changing government criteria.
- S Pass: For mid-skilled roles with a job offer and a typical minimum monthly salary of SGD 3,150. Also valid up to 2 years, renewable, and subject to employer quotas.
- Work Holiday Pass: For eligible graduates aged 18 - 25 from select universities, valid up to 6 months.
- EntrePass: For those starting a business in Singapore, subject to specific requirements.

Work pass policies and eligibility are subject to change. If you need help understanding which option fits your situation, reach out to your LeapScholar counsellor.
