Working in Singapore... |

| I was wondering if anyone knows if it's easy to get a job (just something for a couple of weeks over the summer) when you get to singapore? Or even anywhere that I could look before I go?
I've tried a couple of searches but I'm drawing a bit of a blank, so any help would be great! thanking you  |

| What kind of work are you after?
It's quite tough getting casual work in Singapore without a valid work visa, simply because it's a bit ot a nanny state and employers tend to play by the rules. Some are even keen on ratting on you just for asking. |

| I'm happy to do anything really, I just wanted to get an idea of what might be available.
Is it difficult to get a working visa? I wouldn't be working for longer than 2 months if that makes a difference? |

| You'll probably be best off just getting a WHV.
There used to be ways of getting a short term work pass as an individual, but it was quite complicated (believe me). But these days I'm 99% sure they have a 6 month WHV scheme. They were on about introducing it when I was living there, and I'm pretty sure it was imminent. UPDATE: Full details here: http://www.mom.gov.sg/publish/momportal/en/communities/work_pass/other_passes/work_holiday_programme/FAQs.html - Valid for 6 months - Must be a student or a graduate - Costs about £20 I think, but don't quote me on that |
