Mine was submitted less than 3k. Quite a number of my colleagues from MY too. And submitted salary is right what we get for our salary. Less than 3k not to say 3.3k doh.gif
A lot la... So many of my friends fresh here less than 3k still getting their EP.
But why the new rule says up to 3 years? EP previously can apply 3 years??
*
It seems MOM is not that strict towards Malaysians....maybe due to we're neighbours laugh.gif
I got a few friends also got EP even though their income was below the minimum req but a colleague from Sri Lanka can't get it when his salary is a bit above the min req sweat.gif

Any idea how long would the process take? Any tips so that I may increase my chance of getting approved / lessen chance of rejection?  smile.gif

haha the truth is still out there....nobody knows yet...
mine took around 10 months...my friend got it after 7 months...

appointment will be 6 months before that...
so doesn't really matter when...just try laugh.gif

Will there be any interview during PR appointment? If so, can anybody share what are some of the questions the officer will ask ? Any documents to get from HR prior to the e-appointment? Is letter from previous employer a must / necessary ? Many thanks in advance !  smile.gif
*
interview is optional...usually don't have
letter from previous employer is not compulsory...at least not on my case as i don't have biggrin.gif
You'll need your HR to fill in a form which is about company info or something...

Hi sifus I just got offered a job at SG and my company asked me to do a medical check up next Monday. iirc I have to wait few days to collect the medical report so should I just stay at there or return to msia then come back after few more days?

Also, can I start to find a room now or should I wait until I got the physical permit?

Thanks.
*
u can start finding room already since u got the IPA which allows u to rent...

another question is totally up to u...lol

Hi there, so if I stop work already and I still can stay in singapore for 30 days?
After i return my work permit to my employer.
For social visit regulation pass, I need to go MOM to make it?
*
for my case, surrender EP to employer to cancel, then employer will email u 2 acknowledgement email from mom which is the cancellation letter and a short term visit pass. That short term visit pass u can print out and it'll act like the white card...

I see. Thanks for info bro. Appreciate it. I have another question, if let's said I get my salary paid already and I give notice to my employer to resign. What wil happen?
I heard people said that normally the last payment for the salary will be on hold by my employer right? Because they need to check with IRAS regarding the income tax for the foreign employee right?.
*
yes, they'll hold your final month pay to be use to clear your income tax...
u can leave immediately? no notice period?
i'm not sure about this...i guess if they can't clear then you have to pay your own?

Somewhere at larkin. Bcoz my workplace is at Changi. More convenient using tambak Johor. For 2nd link, i dun have any idea...
Same la. I oso end up takling to the wall even i have a gaming laptop. I couldn't play any games due to another tenant hogging the line. Ping is mostly 500 to 1k-ish right after he come home from work....

Now, i bring my MY bikes and pay the $4 daily VEP and keep it inside SG. Yes, it cost me another $120-ish/mth to keep the bike but its worth it. Atleast i can jalan2 when i'm bored. Less time talking to the walls...

Try ask permission from owner to get own line...
I did that, only $29-$39 per month...totally worth it, no more lag laugh.gif

Haha but I always following by the book kind...it states that any other language OTHER THAN English needs to be translated, then just do lor. What do you have to loose? Better than risk getting your application rejected and have to wait another half a year for an appointment.
*
i think it's exception for malaysian though...
didn't do any translation when i did my application. I think almost everyone here also same case smile.gif
unless u have some certs in not so common language?

Hi, before i get my physical EP card after submitting my finger print and stuff at MoM for processing, can i use the auto gate lane in sg kastam?

or i have to wait till i have the physical ep card only can use the auto gate lane?
*
if not mistaken u can't exit the country if u haven't get your EP card after surrendering the white card...
even if u use the manual lane, u still require to show your EP card...

well there might be a small chance that your finger print already updated in the system, then u can use the auto gate...

best is wait for the card...

i agree that best to avoid being outsourced

however, to say that no travel opportunity because being outsourced is wrong.
all my biz trips was during the employment when I was outsourced.  laugh.gif  laugh.gif
*
haha agree....
same case with mine, i travel most when i'm in an outsource company...
when i got direct employment, just stay in office laugh.gif

Thank you sifu, for no.1 I tired to do a shortcut by asking the best.....but I will try those links from the first post
no. 2 just some question, do I need to pay any deposit/show my EP to proof if I'm applying for postpaid instead of prepaid?
no. 3 hope other sifus can help
*
imho, there's no best...i've heard ppl found their place from all sorts of website...
for example, i found mine thru gumtree, my housemate found from roomsdb etc etc smile.gif

for postpaid plan, you'll definitely need to show EP, it works like IC here...
deposit depends on telco/type of pass, should be easy to find the details on their website...

Hello,

I'm planning on going over to Singapore for up to 1 year. I've looked through their Extended Visa in their website. None of them are quite suitable for me to apply.

I'm hoping to stay for long term, looking for jobs and maybe base myself in Singapore. I don't have a job yet. And waiting for an interview takes forever. I would like to rent somewhere in SG apply and go for interview whenever I get it while going around checking for any opportunity.

Please advice.

easier solution would be to rent in jb and come down when u got interview...
