Your room in Singapore, sorted.
WelcomeStay is a curated accommodation platform for international students coming to Singapore. Every Host on our platform is a partner we work with directly — no strangers, no self-listed properties, no surprises.
We built this for students, not for the market.
Most rental platforms are built for volume — anyone can list, and you're left to figure out what's real and what's not. WelcomeStay works differently. We curate. Every Host is someone we've partnered with directly: established co-living providers and landlords who have a track record with us.
We support you in English and Chinese throughout. No jargon, no surprises — just the right room.
Students housed in 2025, our first year

Full bilingual support
English and Chinese, always.
Renting in Singapore is harder than it should be.
Thousands of international students arrive in Singapore each year — many renting for the very first time, in a market they don't know, in a language that isn't their first. Demand is rising, prices are climbing, and rental scams are increasing. WelcomeStay exists because students deserve better than navigating all of that alone.
Curated partner network
Every Host on WelcomeStay is a partner we've worked with directly. There's no open listing — Hosts are invited onto the platform by WelcomeStay. That's the trust layer.
Scam-resistant by design
Our audience is highly scam-aware — and they should be. Every Host has a track record with us before any student is connected. You won't find random listings here.
Bilingual throughout
We support you in English and Chinese at every step — so parents back home can stay informed, and nothing important gets lost in translation.
A curated platform. Not a listing site.
Anyone can post on PropertyGuru or Carousell. WelcomeStay works differently — every Host is a direct partner, and the platform is built specifically for international students entering Singapore's rental market for the first time.
