Work permit durations vary by country and visa type:
- Singapore: Most work permits and passes are typically valid for up to 2 years, with some (like the Personalised Employment Pass) valid for up to 3 years. Renewals may be possible for certain passes, but conditions apply.
- Australia: The Temporary Graduate Visa usually allows international graduates to work for 2 - 4 years, depending on the qualification.
- New Zealand: The Accredited Employer Work Visa can be valid for up to 5 years for higher skill levels, and the Post Study Work Visa generally allows up to 3 years of work after graduation.
Visa durations and conditions are subject to change.
