just for reconfirmation:
if i work in singapore more than half a year, i'll be paying my tax using the normal resident rate: http://www.iras.gov.sg/ESVPortal/iit/iit-s...individuals.asp which means if i got 2.5k per month that's around paying 5.5% tax right? |

perhaps first get a job + work permit (S/Q pass) then apply for PEP later for the future job change and PR application?
isn't study in singapore alot more expensive then in malaysia? how about the idea of working in singapore, while doing distance learning with malaysia programe?  duh, i'm so going to singapore! edit: post back the info provided by jeromelee from my redundant thread about SG. QUOTE 1. Is working in Singapore requires working Visa? Even if we live in Singapore, can we do like JB-er do - go thru custom every 14 days? yes you need to have a working permit and more information can be obtain at http://app.ica.gov.sg/index.asp 2. Can we bring our car there? yes you can bring your car but the monthly charges will make u think twice with all the toll charges and parking charges. Singapore is so well organize in their transportation system. Why need a car? Unless you are working in malaysia. http://www.lta.gov.sg 3. What is the other mandatory expenses other than income tax there? You can borrow the thread to ask about other countries too. Income tax is a must and it is pretty taxing depending on what working pass you obtain. Employment pass is the best and I suggest you refer to no.1. www.iras.gov.sg This post has been edited by ky_khor: Jan 5 2007, 12:42 AM |

yeah unless they sponsored u. else i would rather take the distance/e-learning programme offered by KL private instituition. only need to go back to sit for certain exam few times a year.
i've been to singapore as a backpacker. fully understand how the transportation there works after my first day there. compare to KL.... i'm still lost driving my car around KL after 2 years here.  " |
