Part Time Work Options for International Students in Singapore

If you are an international student studying a degree at a Singaporean university, you are permitted to work part-time for not more than 16 hours a week during the school year and full-time during vacation. You do not need to apply for additional permission from the Ministry of Manpower if your work hours are within the permitted limit. However, you are eligible to these work rights only if you are enrolled in any of the institutions approved by the Ministry of Manpower.

The student’s pass you obtain before you enter Singapore for studies holds good until you finish your course there.
