Aiya don't worry it's just the usual HIV and TB check if not wrong. I think is compulsory for all. I can't be sure. My PR more than 5 years already. When I apply, it's still full hardcopy submission just 1 or 2 years before they move to online submission.

I am moving to SG from KL for work in a couple of weeks' time, and plan to stay at hotel/hostel first while searching for a room to settle in.

I have looked at property guru, 99.co, and Carousell for rental options.
Do you know if Carousell is a reliable source?

Can anyone share if we could do our medical checkup (xray and hiv) in Malaysia instead of Singapore?

My IPA letter stated something that suggested its possible but I am unsure about it because its quite vague.

I called up ICA but they said depending on individual case to case basis.

Anyone have experience with this?

No. Carousel is like Craigslist, sometimes good sometimes shit.

Define your location n needs and find a proper hostel with security to lock your things.

I suggest coming earlier to get a feel for the place. Sometimes it’s better to rent walking distance than needing to take the MRT at peak going to work hour

Ah. Thanks. Carousell sounds like hit and miss.
I will be working near Tanjong Pagar, and I have rented a backpacker inn for 2 weeks that is 15 minutes walk away.
The company allow remote WFH, but have to be in SG
Should have ample time to have a feel around the place, and find and decide where to stay.

If you're short on time, you can consider engaging an agent to prepare a few places based off your criteria.
It'll cost you 1 month rental as the agent's fee, but may be worth the time saved.
Agent will also prepare all the documents needed and act as a middle man in the event there's any issues.

Does anyone have experience with upgrading to ep from wp? Do employers need to advertise on careerfuture portal in this case?

My employer refused to apply ep for me when I got hired, probably because of the advertising requirement, need to reject two Singaporeans before hiring one foreigner

Hi, I am moving to SG next month, and looking for a room to stay near Queenstown, possible to get a room under 1200$ now? anyone can share a bit rental experience with me?

Hi, I am moving to SG next month to work, Is it ok to tell the immigrant officer in the airport checkpoint that I am coming to work? will they request for any letter? or just tell them I am here for vacation?

If you are moving to SG for work, you should also have your IPA letter with you. Just bring that letter in case you need it.

Company usually prefers getting EP for their staff whenever possible as EP doesn't have any levy plus doesn't count towards foreign workers quota.

Check if you are eligible here.

I’m eligible, just wondering in the case of upgrading existing wp to ep, do employers still need to advertise the job for two weeks and reject two Singaporeans before they are allowed to submit an ep application

Many employers find this process too tedious and unethical to justify the cost saving

anyone can share experience with aeroline bus, 4.30pm from KL to SG? usually what time reaching SG?

From my experience, likely reach Harbourfront between 10.30pm to midnight

Hi all,

I've just completed my PR formalities last week and have obtained my entry permit and REP certificates along with my new NRIC number.

With this, I've notified my HR and they are now requesting my copies of EP and REP to create a CPF account for me.

Question that have been lingering in my mind is the safety to scan and submit the entire copies of EP and REP to them or would you rather waiting for the NRIC card for submission?

Whats your thought on this?

Thanks.

You will trust your HR with your NRIC but not a copy of your REP? What reason lol.

you worried HR using your details to illegally draw your free facemask?

Guys
Any idea why after applied 50 job applications on JobStreet
Most of them "received" but didn't even review?
The rest all "not suitable" aka rejected

Is it me putting too high expected salary? Sgd4-4.5k consider high??
I researched the market offer the salary is common for this pos

Not sure what went wrong

Or I must put 3k only they will consider?
3k might as well I stay in msia

Maybe try a different platform? I know that SG employers have moved on from Jobstreet and many of them are recruiting via Linkedin or Monster.
