Work Holiday Passes for University Students
The Work Holiday Program is open to undergraduates and graduates
from universities and equivalent institutions in Australia, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Japan, New Zealand, the United Kingdom and the United States. Students who have gained admission to a university but have not commenced their studies may also apply. Applicants must be between 17 and 30 years of age. The Work Holiday Pass is valid for six months and must be collected within three months from the date of the In-Principle Approval Letter (IPA), which is sent to applicants when their applications are approved. Work Holiday Pass holders are allowed to work and are not restricted to only specific types of work. However, existing licensing, registration or accreditation requirements (e.g. medicine or law) will apply. Since this is a short work stint, there is no minimum salary requirement.
Foreign Students who do not meet the above criteria can consider the Training Employment Pass. For more information on the options available, please visit the Ministry of Manpower’s website: http://www.mom.gov.sg/publish/momportal/en/communities/work_pass/
