i thought they can give some sort of letter ?

Visit pass cannot work. Company letter signed by BOD CEO CFO COO also no use. Only letter from Commissioner of ICA/MOM is ok. SVP max 90 days. Probation 3 months?

i see, my company need to get the letter from MOM first right ?

1 month probation.

that's hardly the truth. s$1750 also have.

they have this pass for interns... they mgiht use that

Cannot, this one working illegally liao. The company must apply for a work pass or training pass and get the IPA (in principle approval) before you can start work legally.

So they should go through work pass application first right because my friend only using 1 letter first and get a card a month later.

ohh.. if the letter is the in principle approval means his pass is already granted, just awaiting the card..

it depends on the nature of the job and position as well. I dont really think age is the factor. most employers never ask my age.

btw, just curious for EP visa holders. the tax is 15%,right?

also, is there EPF included as well?

15% tax ? your income bracket > s$120k per annum ? The only one I know with that kinda income bracket is Deodorant
There's no cpf for work pass.

Ok understood. No matter what, they should go through ep application.

Thanks

my gf just got the work pass 1 day after submitted the application. that is fast. now looking for accommodation that not far from little india station

Hi guys, I read the first page and I still have things to clarify.

I got a job offer to go to SG, but I have never travelled there before, hence I do now know the living cost like.

But based on the 1st page, 600 for accomodation, 500 for food is my first step in calculating my expected salary.

I want to know, how much should I expect from my current MY salary to SG salary? Worse, this is a 12 month contract position. Basically everything is covered in base salary.

Please shed some lights.

I asked the person that called, what is the market rate like for someone like me. Basically I have around 4k~ MYR. The person said it would be around 4k~ SGD.

Hence, what I can brain is, I should include accomodation + living expenses into the salary that could be 5k~ SGD? And with the job being a contract position, I should increase it even further?

Definitely u should increase it further!
Provided you are worth that much.

Because I have never gone out, I don't have the formula to calculate. Worry later the employer thinks I'm boasting or demand too high. If I demand that little, I worry I'm not getting paid the average.

if u r getting 4k in Malaysia, at least try to get the same in Singapore lo.
in that case, not short changed de ma
then ask urself, with that salary r u satisfied?
enough to make ends meet?

If you want to earn more then ask for more. If your employer think your job only worth 4k plus then they will find another 4k plus candidate to fill it. If they already underpaid you and you are worth more, they will increase it if you are good.
