Can you explain the job structure and part-time job opportunities available during studies in Ireland and Singapore?

In Ireland, as an international student with a valid Stamp 2 visa, you can work part-time up to 20 hours/week during term and up to 40 hours/week during official holidays (June - September and mid-December - mid-January). Typical part-time jobs include retail, hospitality (waiter, barista), office admin, and on-campus roles. You’ll need a Personal Public Service (PPS) number to work legally. These jobs help with living costs but usually won’t cover full tuition.

In Singapore, international students at approved institutions can work up to 16 hours/week during term and full-time during official vacations. Common roles are retail, food and beverage, tutoring, and admin support. Work in sectors like nightlife and massage is not allowed. You must follow these limits to maintain your Student Pass.

Both countries provide structured part-time work options to support living expenses and build experience during your studies.
