Singapore Lists 58 Schools and Universities Where Foreign Students Can Work During Vacation

• Singapore published an official list of 58 institutions whose foreign students are allowed to work during vacation periods without a work pass
• Foreign students must hold a Student's Pass issued by the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority and be at least 14 years of age to qualify
• The list covers universities, polytechnics, international schools and specialised colleges across Singapore

Singapore has published a full list of schools and universities whose foreign students may take up employment during their vacation periods without the need for a separate work pass.

The relevant Singapore authority confirmed that the exemption applies automatically, meaning students do not need to notify any government body before they begin working.

To qualify, a student must simultaneously satisfy three conditions: they must be a full-time matriculated or registered student at one of the listed institutions, hold a valid Student's Pass issued by the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA), and be at least 14 years of age.

What the Work Exemption Means for Foreign Students

The arrangement offers considerable flexibility for international students looking to gain work experience or supplement their income while studying in Singapore. Because no prior notification is required, eligible students can move directly into vacation employment once they confirm that their institution appears on the approved list and that they meet the age and pass requirements.
