21st month u can re-contract based on the advertised handset pricing.....unless u wanna go for the 12months re-contract/upgrade which requires you to pay more for the handset....

Hi guys I'm planning on moving to sg with a friend soon. So I'd like to calculate the expenses.

Rent-max 400(own room) OR 800(shared with friend)
Transport-100
Internet-eletricity- 100(shared)
Food-600
Others-100

So total Im guessing around 1300/month. Pls correct me if I miscalculated. How much is the monthly mrt pass? And the internet plans for each month? Is it possible to find a single room for 500 or maybe a bigger room around 800 for 2?

So here's the thing,I'm still doing my professional qualification studies hopefully I can find a job in the same field but if I can't, any other common jobs can earn around sgd 1500 so I can cover my expenses?
Pls recommend some of these jobs.

Lastly, to apply for work permit ,do I have to apply by going to sg first or we can apply in Malaysia?

Help are appreciated thanks guys smile.gif

Room rates is around 500 1 to a room that is....for internet normally the landlord will have a fixed line..be it copper or fiber..just ask if can share...FOC will be even better...

Work permit...the hiring company will have to apply for you 1st....before they can ask you to sign the offer letter....or the offer letter will normally have this clause that is subjected to MOM's approval...without the government(Ministry of Manpower, MOM)....you won't get a job!!

Also when you intend to rent a room...then owner will definitely ask you for your work permit. Without that the owner may not rent it out to you. Owner/landlord/landlady are required to inform/register with HDB gov body informing them who's staying at the rented rooms!! This is to avoid illegal immigrants or overstayers!!
As you can see from this...WORK PERMIT is important.

You can use the prepaid travel card like the TouchNGo card which is called Ez-link card....because the monthly pass is not worth it....

Guys. Which path is much faster?

1) Take MRT to Bugis and take CW02 back to JB custom.
2) Take MRT to Woordlands and take 950 back to JB custom.

I started from Tai Seng MRT. Thanks.  smile.gif

I think option 2 will be faster...!!

Sifus,

I have a question, what is the difference between S and EP pass? The company did explain to me but from their explanation they say there's no absolute case stating that earning SGD3k above can get EP pass, I'm confused. They told me EP pass is better. I did search on ICA's site, still having no clue bout it. Like my gf is earning SGD4k but still holding S pass.
*
4k on S Pass? That's her basic pay? If not then its still correct if her basic is still under 3k...gov wont look into the commission/allowance as part of the basic salary...IIANM

Hi. Do we have to pay for the medical tests? Or would that be paid by the company hiring us? Thanks.

You can always ask if the hiring company is willing to bear the cost....its not much...should be around SGD50 for everything

of course i know that not all interviews are always successful. but it's a bit different to travel to singapore. no?
plane tickets to singapore cost around RM300+ and we still need to calculate accommodation for one night.
i was just trying to ask whether anyone had that kind of experience whereby you needed to travel to singapore just for one interview. just to know whether this is common.
no harm asking right?

u can always take a bus...much cheaper...firstcoach around RM115 round trip!!
