QUOTE(highwind85 @ Sep 14 2014, 11:09 AM) haha..I don't mean than..I mean how likely will the application be approved? Nobody can say for sure since SG doesn't publish acceptance criteria. For all we know the ICA has a team randomly approving applications based on how handsome (or pretty) you look. Having said that a few websites arbitrarily recommend 1 year for PEP/P1 EP, 2 years for P2 and 3 years for Q1. For me on P2 EP, I applied after 1.5 years work, my waifu on Q1 EP applied after 1.0 years, both of us got approved. QUOTE(xabi14 @ Sep 14 2014, 02:16 PM) How many year to work in sg in order to apply pr? since you need to submit 6 months payslip, so 6 months work then u can apply PR. |

hello all, may I ask, if i resign without a new job in SG, I can only stay here for 30 days to look for a new job?
Do I need to inform my landlord that i resigned? Do I need to pay current year tax now? or can wait until the tax filing date? Thanks. |

QUOTE(sheng291 @ Sep 4 2014, 09:01 PM) haha, taking engineering as example, I do realized that engineering is not so great in S'pore compare to in Msia. Wow, thats low for a engineering grad. What engineering degree holding job are you in if your working 12 hour shifts?For example I went interview today which offered me for 2.3k without OT (degree holder) It is damn low consider the work load (sometime work 12 hours/midnight) But again if you save well the SGD convert to MYR still looks nice. I am currently considering if I should take low pay job in SG and get PR asap, or should I work in Msia for 2 years first so easier to get employed and better pay? The last time i used to work that was when i was a welding inspector on contract in singapore. At least the pay wasnt so bad at 500SGD daily rate. |

QUOTE(deodorant @ Sep 15 2014, 03:14 PM) 1. yes actually the 30 days limit is per entry or 30 days per year? can i re-enter singapore and get 30 days again?2. yes. if your rental with landlord has rental agreement and your agent was doing his job, there should be a clause that allow u to break your lease halfway because u no longer have immigration rights to stay and rent in SG 3. not sure of the details but typically your company will withhold the whole year's tax from your salary and use it to pay IRAS. so I dont have to worry about tax issue right, since the employer will withhold my salary and pay, just afraid that the tax issue will affect my future ep application. |

You can make as much more than 500SGD a day, around 2.5 times that amount in USD but then again compared to singapore, the responsibility and work load is more, alot more.woo.500SGD per day? even working 20days per month gonna giv u 10k pm. There is a demand for the job overseas, but since the work environment requires you to go outside and it aint a desk job, it might not be appealing to the younger generation. |

QUOTE(Fiona Chin @ Sep 15 2014, 04:57 PM) Welding inspector arent labourers since we just do periodic inspections and some of us are cooped in our office pouring over documentation pertaining to welding procedures etc.The laborers would be the fitters and grinder workers, even welders in korea are regarded as professionals and not laborers. |

QUOTE(CandyCrushLYN @ Sep 15 2014, 03:43 PM) actually the 30 days limit is per entry or 30 days per year? can i re-enter singapore and get 30 days again? 30 days per entry max of 90 days (a year) continuously or something like that, they will give you only 14 or 7 days if you keep doing JB and coming back to SG to renew the 30 days. Also you CANNOT RENT HDB when you are on your visitor pass so its hotel, motel or sleep on the road side. so I dont have to worry about tax issue right, since the employer will withhold my salary and pay, just afraid that the tax issue will affect my future ep application. What exactly are you trying to achieve? Not working and staying in Singapore, SG not cheap you know, or you want stand on the streets in Geylang ? |

Yea I know, I was in Korea for few months. Though of getting a job there but can't seize any opportunity as can't speak koraen.There is a demand for the job overseas, but since the work environment requires you to go outside and it aint a desk job, it might not be appealing to the younger generation. I myself have no problem to travel overseas and work away from desk, that's have been expected when taking engineering. by the way, care to advice on potential job offer, or perhaps got any kangtao to share? hehe can pm oso.thanks |

Well i am learning the language but i am not required to since i have a korean QM (Quality Manager) assigned for me who also acts as a translator since he needs to communicate with me in english and to convey my instructions to the other korean staff who may not be well versed in english.I myself have no problem to travel overseas and work away from desk, that's have been expected when taking engineering. by the way, care to advice on potential job offer, or perhaps got any kangtao to share? hehe can pm oso.thanks This post has been edited by crapp0: Sep 15 2014, 06:43 PM |
