Work Holiday Pass

Singapore Work Holiday Pass

Eligible international students or graduates aged 18–25 can apply without employer sponsorship, asset requirements, or language requirements. With only 3–4 documents, approval can be granted in as fast as three days, providing six months of legal work-and-holiday status in Singapore, allowing applicants to freely combine international internships with in-depth travel.

​

Applicants who demonstrate strong work performance may also have the opportunity to obtain employer sponsorship and transition to a long-term work pass, making this an effective stepping stone for international internships and long-term development in Singapore.

Application Requirements

  • Age Requirement: Applicants must be between 18 and 25 years old at the time of application.

  • Educational Background: Applicants must be full-time undergraduate students or graduates of a government-recognized university in one of the following countries/regions: Australia, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Japan, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, or the United States.

  • Current Students: Must have been enrolled as a full-time student at the eligible university for at least three months before submitting the application.

  • Graduates: Must provide a degree certificate or official academic transcript issued by the eligible university.

  • Programme Quota: The Work Holiday Programme (WHP) is subject to a capacity of 2,000 Work Holiday Pass holders at any one time. Applications are processed on a first-come, first-served basis. Once the quota is reached, new applications will generally not be approved until places become available. Early application is therefore strongly recommended.
