Yes, after completing your master's in Singapore, you can apply for a Long-Term Visit Pass (LTVP) that lets you stay in Singapore for up to one year to search for a job.

This pass does not allow you to work during the job search period. Once you secure employment, your employer can apply for a work pass (like the Employment Pass or S Pass) on your behalf, allowing you to work legally in Singapore.

If you need help with the process, your LeapScholar counsellor can guide you through the next steps.
