The Republic of Singapore is accepting foreign workers through its various work permit routes. The country’s work visa is called a work pass which foreign workers need to have before starting work.

The permit is up to 2 years, depending on the validity of the worker’s passport, security bond, and employment period. It can also be renewed.

Sectors such as Construction, Manufacturing, Marine shipyard, Process and Services are thriving sectors that usually employ foreigners from all over the world.
