After completing your master's, post-study work and settlement options vary by country:

- Germany: You can get an 18-month Job Seeker Visa to find a job related to your field. Once employed in a relevant position, you may qualify for the EU Blue Card, which can lead to permanent residency after 21 - 33 months, depending on your language skills. These policies are subject to change.

- Singapore: After graduation, you receive a 30-day Short-Term Visit Pass to secure a job. If you get an offer, your employer can apply for an Employment Pass (valid 1 - 2 years, renewable). There is no direct post-study work visa; the Employment Pass is the main route to work and potentially settle. Rules are subject to change.

- UAE: Options include a Green Visa (up to 5 years, self-sponsored), Job Seeker Visa (60 - 120 days), or Golden Visa (10 years for top talent). These allow you to live and work in the UAE, with requirements and durations subject to change.
