Whats holding you back to pick 120k over 70k per year?

Given the same benefit, the salary is too far apart For same job scope. Did you forget something?

if you pass the test    . who knows, 1 month down the road they might add in additional requirement 

yes, you could drive for 1 year.

They did expand the test center.

A quick check on one of the newer center revealed you did not pick earlier slot.

This time I agree a person have to learn to fish instead of asking for bigger pond with more fish.

Use the net. There are 3 test center.

Just saw there was no refund if you cancel your test date. Better verify with them is the rescheduling is FOC. Iirc, we can change our test date twice for free. I took my test at old sdsc amk branch. There was eye sight test and colour blind test too when I submit the application.

Hi, I think 3.5k - 4.5k but need the guy who hold this position to advise you.

Bro, your job need you to drive in Singapore? Look like I am in same shoes with you if I got my work permit approve. So you plan to drive Malaysia or Singapore registered car?

Must drive? cant take cab and claim back company?

Hi Everyone,

I will graduate with Bachelor degree in graphic design March 2013, and plan to work in Singapore. I had around 3 years experience in both web, graphic, user-interface design job with client from Canada, etc. (by Freelance with good portfolio)

May I know:

1. Is it easy for company to hire foreign like us? Since it always stated Singaporean or PR preferred.

2. For those who came to Singapore and apply job through newspaper, where should we live? hotel or hostel (with deposit) ?

3. How much is the basic salary that probably I can get? Do they willing to pay high for foreigner?

4. For the employment pass, how long will it takes for apply and how long minimum before it expired, 1 year or 2 year? (Do I have to pay with my salary?)

5. I heard the tax is 20% for foreigner, but I also heard about tax refund, may I know what is that?

Please all senior in Singapore give me some guidance, and I am sorry if newbie like me ask so many questions.

God Bless You all

Thanks So Much,

Kiero

room $250 (sharing)
misc $125

you can even further reduce the expenses if you have the motivation/desire.

hi, just applied pr here.

i am under EP pass and earning more than 3k, 1 year job exp, 1st class honours degree in software engineering (uk),  working as anayst prommammer. i specified my contributions very detail in the projects tat i was involved in a year.  and i stayed in sg for a year since graduated.

how's my chance to get pr after sept 2012? any1 got similiar scenario?

Yupe north side, you're correct. Around 2k+ with some benefits that can help me save at least 500SGD per month (rough estimation), something like that. I guess it will depends on what's available by the time I start to job hunt, but for my case I probably should get some experience in Malaysia first right? Especially since I'm not the type that can save a whole lot of my salary, I like to enjoy my food 

I wanted to ask, if my degree is not recognised in Singapore, is it possible for me to get a job there?

Well, technically, its just  not recognised by one of the professional bodies... For example, USM medical degree is not recognised in Singapore, meaning he/she could not practise as a doctor there, but can he/she find other jobs there?

Thanks!

any place to recommend in JB (close to Sg) for seafood and beach area? danga bay?

I'm a fresh grad from top US university (first class honors). Do fresh grad commonly get this salary? The interviewer told me that 'top school' like NUS grad could get 3k.. but in fact my school is better than NUS if he's talking about ranking or being 'top'. So I'm thinking is this being underpaid or not.

Would like to ask if im able to work from dec till march only ?
How about working at singapore casino ?
Can? I have a sweaty palm, any position for me to work at singapore ? Using spm cert

btw regarding the tax issue, can i work from DEC untill march 2013 ? roughly 4 months only?
if i stop working at march and continue study at SG POLY, can be that way ? will i kena tax?

Strictly from a tax perspective, I think you will be liable to tax as a Tax Resident, under the criteria that you are :-

"a foreigner who has stayed in Singapore for 183 days or more in the year preceding the YA;"

The good news that as a Tax Resident (progressive tax rate), the final tax amount is often lower than a Non Tax Resident (15% flat) and the tax rate is 0% for the first SGD20,000 you make during the Year of Assessment (YA).

Chances of you getting tax is high, when you leave your job you/your HR will need to seek tax clearance.
That means the HR will inform the MOM/taxation office your last day of service and they would instruct the HR to withold your last salary for tax clearance.

If you work more than 183 days but earn less than S$20K, you do not need to pay tax. - this does not apply to you.

Everything goes by the book; imagine every tom, d*** and harry giving excuses to IRAS to get tax exempted 

Can I know what's time is the earliest bus heading to JB custom?
