• Minimum employment period is 2 months. Maximum employment period is 6 months.
• Duration of stay in Singapore can be up to 7 months (maximum 6 months of employment followed by an optional maximum 30 days of travel with a tourist visa).

Eligibility Requirements

You must:
• be at least 17 and not more than 30 years of age.
• be a full time student or recent graduate from a British College or University
• undergo an interview before being accepted on the program
• show financial support from your Singapore Job
Our partner, Speedwing, will undertake to set you up with an interview with a potential employer in Singapore.
If you are successful in securing a job we will help with the next step; arranging accommodation and applying for the Work Holiday visa (please note: if you are not successful Speedwing will undertake to find you another potential employer. You will have a maximum of three opportunites; if we are unable to find potential employers or if the employers refuse to accept you, we will refund your deposit.)

Please note: We can undertake to find jobs in a wide range of industries. Positions are normally holiday type jobs, similar to the kind offered by most Work and Travel programmes.

This is brand new programme, inspired by the recent Singapore government initiative to attract certain foreign workeres to the country. We expect the application, placement and visa process to take 3-4 months to complete so please bear this in mind when you apply!

When Is the Programme Available?

As jobs do not run by seasons in Singapore, Work Holiday Program Singapore is available all year round. It is, however, subject to job availability
