QUOTE(cherryl9 @ Dec 8 2013, 01:01 PM) Thanks! I am really hoping to get this job inSG. However I have heard that it is now a lot harder for foreigners to work there cuz of all the new regulations. There is also the quota system right? I am looking to do finance and entering in as a fresh grad. So i dont have to worry about levy but what about quota? Will have interview soon and knowing all these will help! That is for the company to worry about and not you. In addition to your salary, a company needs to pay for real estate i.e. office rental, provide you with a computer, desk space, chair, medical plan, etc etc, do you need to worry about all these costs as well? No, right? Quota, levies, etc all also let the company worry about it not you. |

I will try not to watch any videos to save on the data when i was shifting earlier this year i went for this, can get 3g modem (usb) as well https://www.m1.com.sg/Personal/mobile-broad...repaidBroadband i'm sure the other two telco's also have something similar. otherwise you can just do data tethering on your mobile phone mah. |

QUOTE(puppyee @ Dec 11 2013, 05:45 PM) I agree. It is pretty much how well you can convince your interviewer. Most employers are willing to pay >3.5k for programmers/developers nowadays. how much are developers / graphic designers getting paid at your company in general? |

QUOTE(ziling60 @ Dec 11 2013, 07:34 PM) Dear all, need some advice from u all. My employment pass (EP) was approved but I need to undergo medical checkup in Singapore before going to MOM to get the EP. All can be done in one week. Hence, when i enter Singapore, should I enter as tourist or as foreign expats? I will enter Singapore in December 20, starting work in December 23. Let say i write on the white chit (which is usually given to passenger on airplane) that my reason in entering singapore is to working, but my passport does not has the EP sticker, would they allow me to enter? Or i should state my reason for entering singapore as tourist? Pls advise. Thanks Your company should send you the IPA (in principal approval) letter. Come in to SG, enter as whatever also no difference. With the IPA letter you are allowed to start working while doing the health check, EP fingerprinting, etc. |

QUOTE(strison @ Dec 16 2013, 12:04 PM) Is that still have any Long term Visiting Pass (LTVP) been available for the job seekers? no more. there used to be a scheme where you get a EPEC (employment pass eligibility cert) and use that to apply for 1 year LTVP to look for job, but this scheme discontinued maybe 2 years back. |

QUOTE(cherryl9 @ Dec 16 2013, 12:23 PM) So, the way I see it is: A+B+C (90 days), then a new entry B+C+D (90 days), then C+D+E (90 days), and the new "60 out of 90 days" cycle will only be renewed if I have a 90 day hiatus, right? if you're worried about overstaying, the immigration officer will tell you how long you allowed to stay once you're approaching the 60 day limit. normally you only allowed 30 days stay at a time. once you approach that limit when you come in to SG they will start cutting the stay on the passport stamp to 25, 22, 10 days etc etc. |

QUOTE(zephyrus9999 @ Dec 22 2013, 10:22 AM) really how can some manage to commute everyday back to jb @.@ Think it makes lots of sense in certain conditions, eg you work in Tuas and/or your working hours allow you to travel off peak. I did some calculations for myself not too long ago but cos I work in the East, on regular 9-5, it's simply far too many hours wasted on the commute. |

QUOTE(Sammyking @ Dec 26 2013, 11:48 PM) Hey, if let's say I write in the white card that I am staying for 14 days (2 weeks) but I "overstayed" for 3 weeks instead, is that really counted as overstay? Will there be any penalty or will the officers come hunting me down? What will happen? As long as you don't overstay whatever immigration stamps on your passport is OK, don't worry about the duration you wrote. Typically immigration will give you 30 days per entry, unless you face problem or coming close to the 60 in 90 days rule. |

QUOTE(OrCaGaL @ Dec 30 2013, 08:34 PM) btw, izit possible to stay in SG for 2 mths on social visit pass? let's say at 1st they give u 30days, possible to chop & renew for another 30 days after the 1st 30 days expired? Easiest way to do that is day trip out to JB and come back in for a fresh 30 days. However after that you hit the 60/90 rule and you need to leave the country for 30 days before coming back in. |

QUOTE(studyboy @ Jan 1 2014, 05:33 PM) It takes about 7 working days so fret not! Also, you will need to go for a medical check up before your IPA. If your IPA is not ready by then you cannot start working in Singapore. Apparently the EP is needed before one can start renting a room. Sigh, for this, I am in the same predicament as you. Some corrections here. You can start working legally using the IPA, and most landlords/agents should also allow you to start renting using IPA. So you get company to issue IPA, come in and start work/look for room, then while working do the medical check up, etc for doing the formalities / fingerprinting to issue the EP card. |

QUOTE(studyboy @ Jan 1 2014, 11:01 PM) Yep! Those with IPA only can't right? IPA only can't, cos you need to do your fingerprinting as part of the EP card issuance. EP, LTVP, PR, SC can use those lanes. SPass/WP not sure |

Problem is, I am wondering if any of you guys converted so far and whether is it worth it? Why do you need to convert to buy? PR oso can buy resale mah although yes there is ABSD. You're obviously not planning to buy BTO since you want the place within next half a year. |
