Yes, you can gain work experience in Ireland after your studies using the post-study work visa (Stamp 1G), which allows you to work full-time for up to 24 months.

To move to Singapore or Japan for further work, you’ll need to secure a job offer and employer sponsorship, as neither country offers an open post-study work visa. Your Irish work experience can strengthen your application but you must still meet each country’s employment and visa requirements.
