Expert Answers

After my master's, how long can I work in Ireland, and what do I need to stay and work in Singapore?

→

Ireland offers a post-study work visa, Stamp 1G, letting master's graduates work for up to 24 months without employer sponsorship. Singapore has no dedicated post-study work visa, though graduates of eligible institutes can seek a Long-Term Visit Pass to job-hunt; otherwise you need a job and a work pass.

For a one-year advanced diploma program, how many months of bank statements do I need to show for a Singapore Student Pass, and what is the typical range of funds required to cover tuition and living expenses?

→

Prepare roughly 6 months of bank statements as a practical baseline for a Singapore Student Pass, since ICA's forms ask for financial-support information covering that period. Budget around SGD 25,000 to 35,000 total for a one-year advanced diploma, covering tuition plus about SGD 14,400 to 24,000 in living costs.

How should I format an experience letter for my work at my father's business in Singapore to make it acceptable for educational or visa applications?

→

Yes, use a formal letter on the company's letterhead with its UEN, address and contact details, stating your name, exact job title, start and end dates, and 4 to 6 specific duties, signed by an authorized signatory, and openly note that you are the owner's son or daughter for transparency.

Can I reapply for my Student's Pass immediately after a rejection?

→

Yes, you can reapply for a Student's Pass right after a rejection as long as your course admission and application window are still valid. There is no mandatory waiting period, but ICA has no formal appeal process for Student's Pass refusals, so fix the reason for rejection before resubmitting.

Can I do more than one internship abroad during my Master's in Singapore, despite the standard student visa only allowing one formal internship?

→

Yes, the idea that a Singapore Student's Pass allows only one internship is not accurate; the Ministry of Manpower generally limits term time work to 16 hours a week unless the internship is credit bearing, and overseas placements depend on that country's own rules too.

How long can I stay in Singapore after graduation to look for a job without working, and what are the work visa options for employed graduates?

→

Singapore has no fixed post study work visa; eligible graduates apply for an ICA Long Term Visit Pass to job hunt, with ICA setting actual validity, not a fixed 12 or 24 months. Employers then sponsor an Employment Pass, from S dollar 5,600, or an S Pass.

Can I get a detailed walkthrough of university fees, required documents, and the Student Pass application process when I visit your office in Singapore?

→

Yes, visiting our office gives you a personalised walkthrough of university fees, required documents and Singapore's Student's Pass process, which is submitted online 2 to 3 months before your course starts, costs SGD 45 to process and SGD 60 upon issuance, plus a possible SGD 30 visa fee.

What are the specific steps and documents needed for a master's visa application to Germany, Singapore, and the UK?

→

Germany requires APS verification, a blocked account showing about 11,904 euros, and a national visa application. Singapore requires a Student's Pass applied for through ICA's e-Service after admission. The UK requires a CAS number before you apply for the Student visa, plus proof of funds.
