QUOTE(Ultimaweapon @ Jun 22 2016, 09:56 AM) I've a few questions, hope I can get some advice on it:- 1. i think a week or so, personal experience the whole process (from application - getting IPA - medical - getting approved EP) takes 2 weeks.1. How long does it usually take from EP application to IPA? 2. If you've signed / accepted the employment offer to start work in August but have not yet even received the IPA, are you required to report for work using the social pass? 3. I understand that it is illegal to work without EP or any other passes, but does in-process of application count for anything? 4. What is a comfortable salary range for Malaysians working in SG? Is 4k acceptable? I mean, without spending much on luxuries. Btw, I've submitted almost 20+ resumes before landing this job recently. Good luck to job-seekers out there! Thanks! 2. You cannot work legally without at least IPA 3. You need IPA minimum 4. Very subjective. Do you share room? Do you need private bathroom? The main cost of Singapore is accommodation. You should live comfortably with 1k per month. This post has been edited by bearbear: Jun 22 2016, 11:50 AM |

QUOTE(Ultimaweapon @ Jun 23 2016, 10:19 AM) Speaking of money, what is the best way to send money back to Malaysia? DBS free remit to Msia, rate usually 0.2 - 0.3 lower than actual. Maximum up to you to set in your accountAny limitations imposed on the system? How much maximum etc.? Thanks for all the advice. Else bring cash, no limit Or money changer also entertain TT, i believe above 10k SGD is FOC and you get better rate |

QUOTE(kevin613 @ Jul 6 2016, 11:29 PM) U must be charging 6 digits tu your cards yearly to collect enough miles for suites... manyak kaya... SIA suites one way to japan cost 60k miles, considering that Citibank PM offer 1.2 miles per $1, that is $50k spending.I'm using citibank PM visa too for 3rd year now, but I doubt I have enough miles even for one person to go business class. Better if you don't own any citibank card now, sign up PM Visa spend 10k within 3 months you will get 42k miles. |

QUOTE(deodorant @ Jul 7 2016, 09:49 AM) 51k miles only cos there's 15% discount if you redeem online. Between 2miles/$ overseas (i.e. Malaysia) spend, 6-10 miles/$ Expedia/Agoda promos, and annual fee miles credits, the accrual rate is actually quite a bit quicker than one might expect. ah ok but if u spend that much with MYR, consider Maybank 2 Premier. The Amex Reserve earn you 1 mile per RM 0.954 spent.But yes, having said that, you do need a decent level of expenditure to make it 'worthwhile,' otherwise better to go for a cash back card I guess. |

QUOTE(huaweie5830 @ Jul 14 2016, 03:35 PM) Well, $1000 is easy to maintain, so $2 is avoiable It's average daily balance > $1,000Normally outside money changer remittance will gv u much better rate and no service charge if above certain amount, just save some money in ur ocbc360 , while earning good interest, and change it one lum sum with the money changer when it reaches tat amount. Edit To add on i remember posb/dbs new acct now oso need to maintain $1k min, else got monthly charge ? Mot sure when i heard it from My acc also have limitation of max ATM withdrawal of 4 times per month, anything more also $2 charge. |

QUOTE(Grajindo @ Jul 25 2016, 12:09 PM) I did not find anything about declaration or require something. However, the HR told me that once they receive the medical report, they will then issue the pass and I can start working. depends on clinic, I went to SATA on thursday 4pm and.collected my report on.the following MondayThey did not recommend me anything about which clinic to go and also say anything about the expenses. I have just sent them a mail asking about any recommendation and the expenses. Will wait and see what they say. Do you know normally how long it takes for the report to be done? THanks |
