How do you get a job anywhere?

You send well-worded applications to potential employers and, if invited for an interview, convince them that you are the right person to hire for the job.

This is no different in Singapore - except that you, as a foreigner, are at a big disadvantage compared to the locals (who must be hired first, by law).

You can find, on this forum, lots of hints on how to search and apply for jobs in Singapore, which visa options are available and what their requirements are. You are welcome to read and follow as much of it as possible!

Just to share, I'm currently working for a Singaporean employer remotely. I found the job from LinkedIn, been with them for 3 years. Now my employer plans to bring me over to relocate to Singapore. You can definitely try the same route.
