Thanks for info man. I never realize the existence of such rule. I just started working in SG since July, is that means I will be taxed for 15% as well?

And... usually when do we have to pay tax? Anything need to be done before that? During the days when working in Malaysia my salary level is not in taxable, therefore have no experience in taxation.

Bet you won't mind agededed rich girl

Just kidding no offense to anyone

Many companies hire only local and PR. Except the reason of permit or EP application/renewal cumbersome, any other reason? I work in sg and thinking to switch job, but not sure if I should apply PR first .

Hi, may I know where can I find further info on above mentioned prerequisites? I went to ICA website and downloaded the form and guideline docs, but just can't find that 2 conditions. Thanks.

Generally currency value is a good option for gaining $ in short term. If getting a lot of money in short time is the only way to achieve your long term goal, then I would say you should give it a try; otherwise have to think carefully...

Can... but it depends on what kind of job and the expectations you are looking for. I am not familiar in job market trend though... maybe someone can give advise?

How about helpdesk and support? If you know English and Chinese then I believe you should stand a chance. Of course if you know other languages like Japanese should boost your competitiveness.

BTW, what kind of job you are interesting in? Why not do filtering search in job portal like jobstreet.com and jobsdb.com? That should at least gives you some clues to the answer.

Should be ok with current living standard. But I doubt if your goal to work in SG is just to survive

BTW SGD1300..., maybe working in those electronic factories as operator can earn more than that figure?

For my case I got my EP for about 1 week time.

My experience tells me this is true, should be applicable to both giant MNC and SME. Of course it also depends on the person who reads your resume or contacts you.

$600 accommodation allowance? Mind to tell which company u working at?

Guys and gals, I'm planning to apply SPR and here are some of my doubts regarding the application form:

- Innovation and achievements in your profession: should I leave this field blank? coz I can only think of the list of suggestions for improvements that my employers never bother about...
- Academic qualification: I took twinning course in private college, should I state the overseas University or local college in institute address field?
- Annex to be fill up by employer: Possible not to submit this annex? My HR is in maternity leave and I hope to apply ASAP (I heard that some people who's working in SG had successfully apply SPR by themselves without letter/form from employer, but not sure abt the details).

Hope can get some tips here Thanks ya.

This range is consider fair at Bedok

That's my worry too. Looking at my timeline most probably I'll be switching job in 2~4 months after I got my pr status, really no idea how those potential employers will think about that (though i am pretty sure many people practiced the same thing too )

I think there is a need to change this question to:
Which are the companies in SG that seldom require you to work for long hour, for those jobs to work in office(IT/Programming/Network line)?

I believe it really depends on which company you join, and I am waiting for the answer too

I only that there are few buses for the other way around
Anyway these two spots are in walking distance.

Hmm... I'm kinda worry coz "thinking" to switch job Still waiting for my spr approval though it has been 2 months since application

Wow! This thread is finally reaching 100th page. Shall we celebrate?

Yes you are right, those who works less than 183 days will have to pay income tax at a higher rate. But I don't think with $10K annual income you will need to pay. You can find out more from
