A practical route from Singapore to your next overseas role

About JobsAbroad Singapore

JobsAbroad Singapore is written for people preparing for jobs in Australia and New Zealand from Singapore. It is operated by Red Migration FZC, with an office at 108, 6th Street, Al Hamriya, Bur Dubai, Dubai, United Arab Emirates.

The team matches relevant applications to advertised roles and works with Australian registered migration agents and New Zealand licensed immigration advisers at the visa stage. Local content does not make the jobs exclusive to Singapore citizens or create a Singapore office.

What you will find here

• Job adverts with duties, requirements and application information
• Work visa guides linked to official sources
• Articles on Singapore qualifications, CVs, interviews and relocation
• Videos and a WhatsApp channel for new content and vacancies
• Free applications through the contact details provided

From application to a possible offer

1. Choose a role and check its requirements.
2. Send the reference, English CV and relevant evidence.
3. The team reviews the match and passes a relevant application to the employer for that role.
4. The employer decides on interviews, an offer and its sponsorship process.
5. Prepare your personal visa evidence and seek authorised advice where needed, then plan travel after approval.

Prepare your evidence in Singapore

Build a clear record of your training and work before applying. Use the same name as your passport, explain any changes of name and keep original documents alongside any required translations.

• Passport and residence: check passport validity and the citizenship recorded in it. Living in Singapore, holding permanent residence and holding a Singapore passport are different things for visa eligibility.
• Qualifications: gather your actual award and transcript, whether issued by ITE, a polytechnic, a university or another institution. Keep Nitec, Higher Nitec, Technical Diploma, Work-Study Diploma and WSQ awards under their exact names. Include course content, practical training and the issuing institution where useful. See the ITE certification system and WSQ course accreditation information.
• Employment: collect references showing dates, hours, duties and equipment used, supported by contracts, payslips, tax records or other independent evidence. CPF records may help where applicable, but are not available for every worker. Obtain referees’ permission before sharing their details. A CV alone is not proof of work experience.
• Police certificates: apply only when the receiving authority requires them. Read the Singapore Police Force’s Certificate of Clearance instructions and the destination’s country-specific requirements. Other countries where you have lived may also need to issue a certificate.
• English: prepare a recognised test or evidence of a specific exemption where required. Singapore residence, citizenship or an English-language CV does not create a general exemption.
• Translations: documents already in English do not need translating simply because they were issued in Singapore. For other documents, follow the receiving authority’s rules on the translator, certification and accompanying original.

Plan your notice period, insurance, initial accommodation and relocation funds. If National Service or exit-permit obligations apply to you, check your individual position with CMPB before planning a long absence. These obligations do not apply identically to every reader.

Compare duties across occupations

Opportunities can include engineering, construction, automotive and diesel work, healthcare, hospitality, logistics and other occupations, depending on current employers and locations. Browse actual vacancies rather than relying only on a general shortage list.

Regulated occupations require particular care. A Singapore qualification or professional registration does not automatically grant a licence in Australia or New Zealand.

Why check employer sponsorship early?

A specific role lets you compare duties, pay, location and the employer’s proposed process before investing in a move. Sponsorship is still conditional on the employer’s decisions, your eligibility and government approval.

Our aim

Changing countries affects your career, family and savings. We aim to make preparation clearer for readers in Singapore, explain the evidence behind an application and direct you to official information before you make important commitments.

Our approach

• Clear job descriptions and application requirements
• No charge to apply through this website
• A clear distinction between recruitment, employer procedures and personal visa eligibility
• Official links for checking current requirements
