Just to seek some opinion here..I considering an opportunity to relocate to SG..considering that I have a commitment in the form of a house in KL..I am wondering if it makes any sense to move over to SG ..(take the salary equation aside as I would be earning more or less the same amount of salary both in KL & SG as it is a company relocation)..From a tax / quality of life (living in a rented room vs a house of your own for example) / cost of living perspective..would like views from you guys who have worked or working in SG to contribute your 2cents..thanks!

Quality of life = better in terms of safety.

Cost of living = cheaper with your strong dollar.

Safer, yes. Strong dollar, yes.

But no more house. HDB flat, not unless you can afford private condo or house in Singapore.

To be eligible for PR, you need an work pass ( P, Q or S ) for the "workers" category. Other categories are Investors/Entrepreneurs and spouses of citizens and PR.

Since you mentioned company, you should be applying under the "workers" category.

The company plays a critical role in your PR application because the company will be filling up the Annex A to Form 4A. It is a one page form with questions about the company and your job that your company will answer.

Please note, however, the company in filling up Annex A does NOT mean the company is sponsoring you.

They can only help you to fill the Annex A. Nothing else. All the PR criteria is based on you and your competency. Nothing to do with your company.

If I'm not mistaken, you need a referral letter from your previous employer too. I remember requesting for that when I applied for mine. Not too sure if your previous is not based in singapore though.

Annex A, as the name itself is self explanatory, is not crucial

can i know if there's any place or contact or recommendation that allow me to rent a room for weekly basis?

as i will be traveling around and am not staying in SG all the time..

maybe around 3-5days per month..if rent a room for whole month, it's kinda pricey and wasted..

Not much different if you are single ,
If you are married with kids, then the PR makes a lot of sense in terms or education for you kids, medication, childcare center.
