Frequently asked questions
Can international students legally intern in Singapore?
Yes, but under highly specific frameworks monitored by the Ministry of Manpower (MOM). International interns typically utilize the Work Holiday Programme (WHP), which is strictly available to undergraduates or graduates aged 18 to 25 from recognized universities in 10 specific partner jurisdictions. AIP checks your exact eligibility profile before enrollment.
What industries are available for placement in Singapore?
As a leading global financial and corporate hub, Singapore offers elite placements in Finance & Wealth Management, Management Consulting, Corporate Law, Supply Chain & Logistics, and Tech Entrepreneurship. Internships here are fast-paced, highly professional, and provide massive resume equity.
What is the cost of living for an intern in Singapore?
Singapore has one of the highest costs of living in Asia. To shield you from high local real estate rental prices and complex short-term lease laws, enrolling in AIP’s Traveler package guarantees you pre-arranged, vetted, and comfortable co-living or student housing, covering your largest single expense upfront.
Is there a monthly salary or stipend for Singapore internships?
Under the Singapore Work Holiday Pass, there is no legal minimum salary floor required by MOM. While some multinational corporations may offer a stipend to offset local commuting expenses, many specialized corporate tracks are structured purely as educational training programs.
What are the requirements to join the AIP Pioneer package in Singapore?
The AIP Pioneer package is our most comprehensive career acceleration track. It includes premium corporate placement, executive housing, dedicated 1-on-1 professional career coaching sessions, curated local corporate networking entry, and complete 24/7 priority logistical and emergency assistance.
How early do I need to apply for a Singapore internship?
Due to the Singapore Ministry of Manpower’s hard global cap of active Work Holiday Pass holders at any one time, applications are processed on a first-come, first-served basis. We strongly recommend applying to AIP 3 to 4 months in advance of your target start date to secure your pass before the pool closes.
