I guess they're randomly spamming calls on all numbers, I got it on my house phone, and both my mobile numbers. My wife got it as well.

have you registered your number in the DNC registry?

U must be charging 6 digits tu your cards yearly to collect enough miles for suites... manyak kaya...
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.

not freezing. just keep in mind you'll have to compete with others from China/India/Philippines/Thai/Viet/etc etc..
whoever cheaper better faster will get the job...

i smell buayas....

You submitted yours online?

by air is not so strict, though you can still be stopped for checks.. by land, all car passing by have to open trunk for them to check.

JUST IN: Qualifying salary for Employment Pass applications to be raised from $3,300 to $3,600 from Jan 1, 2017

The change is part of the Manpower Ministry's (MOM) regular updating of the EP qualifying salary to keep pace with rising local wages, maintain the quality of Singapore's foreign workforce and enhance their complementarity to the local workforce, MOM said in a press release on Tuesday (July 26).

The previous minimum EP qualifying salary update was in January 2014, from $3,000 to $3,300. http://str.sg/4SNZ

MOM said it will provide lead time for businesses to make adjustments. Existing EP holders whose passes expire:

Before Jan 1, 2017: Will be able to renew, for a duration of up to three years, based on existing EP criteria.

Between Jan 1, 2017 and June 30, 2017 (both dates inclusive): Will be able to renew, for a duration of one year, based on the existing EP criteria.

July 1, 2017 onwards: Will have to meet the new criteria for renewal, for a duration of up to three years.

this is in anticipation of the COE tsunami coming in 2017-2018...
i guess eventually will be back to 90% 9 years max..

your boss could either be honest, submit EP for less than the required salary, then see if MOM approve the EP, or...
submit fake salary declaration on the application form, which is a criminal offence.. up to your boss loh...

to comply or not, to approve or not, not our call..

I know, once upon a time mine was submitted below the required amount too. Was told by HR that Malaysian could get it easier, but I don't know if that was still true, and approval is always at the mercy of MOM. No guarantee that you'll get approval even if you meet all requirements.

if can afford to bring parents but they dont want, and need someone to do your housework, go hire a FDW lo...

levy havent count horr..

more than that... i used to pay 550 for maid salary, and 260+ for levy(IIRC), and provide her with accomodation and food of course.

have to be borne by employer, by law.

nope..just pay toll and the upcoming road charge/vep.

i'd say having a local number will help, but only to certain extent. With all the other factors being equal, one candidate has local number and one foreign number, i'd be inclined to call the local number first, that's thinking from employer perspective.

postpaid without EP = pay huge deposit upfront
Thats one of the pros of getting EP.

Not all landlord will want to register with hdb, cause once you register, the rental will become taxable income, also it depends on whether your employer register your pass with company address or your actual address. My experience is employer register the pass with company address.

by law lah...
not sure how common it is nowadays for landlords to "not register", or "lock one room" then rent out the whole house without registering.
i used to rent one whole unit without the owner locking up one room, at lower than market rate for a unit directly opposite MRT station
