Interns in Singapore
The following information was taken from the iHipo website section "Country Insider"
As an intern in Singapore you will need a visa. This will either be the Training Employment Pass (TEP) or Training Work Permit (TWP). Apart from filling out the TWP or TEP form, you will have to provide your company with various documents regarding your studies, passport copy etc.
It is recommended to provide this information as accurately as possible and according to the specifications set forth by the Ministry of Manpower (MoM) in Singapore.
Your company will then file all these documents with the MoM to get the TEP or TWP. The TWP is usually the safer option (almost always approved).
However the company has to arrange for a security deposit and pay as small monthly levy, which makes some of them hesitant to apply for this visa.
See "immigration" for further info.

It should be noted that some companies have a special status with the Ministry of Manpower (MoM) or other authorities which means that a TEP or TWP may not be needed. Very few companies also allow their interns to come on a tourist visa and prolong that every month by going across the causeway to Johore Bahry in Malaysia and then back to Singapore, which is actually not perfectly legal.
In case of the TEP, one will have to do a tuberculosis and HIV test within the first two weeks of arriving in Singapore. In terms of vaccinations, some authorities recommend the following ones: Hepatitis A and B, Diphtherie, Tetanus and Polio.
See "health" for more information.
Please check with your respective foreign mission/embassy in Singapore regarding passport requirements and deviations according to nationality.
Usually the intern will have to arrange for health insurance by him-/herself.
