Multiple filing of S pass or EP before starting to work in Singapore. by malaysiaNewBie
Hi, I am presently In India.I got a job offer in Singapore and my employer prepared the documentation to file a S pass for me.I think they will start the processing in a day or two. But, I got another job offer now from another employer, say E2 ...
it should be possible to have two concurrent applications. An in-principle approval letter does not mean you are already employed, hence there is no need to cancel that (you'll just let it lapse - usually they give 3 months to show up after ... Read More
SOS really need help! by kidrock
HI, i need to ask for advices, Pls help me? This is my case..I have credit cards debt in singapore approximately 20k with 3 different banks (loan and credit cards) singapore dollars, I left singapore 1 year ago in 2011 since then i stop paying my ...
20K across three banks is not a huge amount and most big banks wouldn't even take matter to courts for such amount, so I doubt they have obtained judgments against you, hence don't think you'd be arrested the moment you enter. Credit rating ... Read More
Employment Pass Rejected by Punchkin
Hi all just wondering if anyone has had experiences whereby their EP has been rejected? I recently moved jobs, different job descriptions, and my application was declined. My new company is in process of an appeal but this could take weeks - anyone ...

It does seem odd that they would apply for a TEP after you've been working on EP for 2 years. As its name suggest, TEP is reserved for employees undergoing training (interns e.g). Are they planning to move you to a different job scope, hence the ... Read More
Visa: this strange animal... by cer
Hi! I'm gonna start an internship the 25th of June or the 2nd of July( it depends on how much time it's gonna take to prepare all the papers for my Training Employment Pass). In the meanwhile I have to book the flight and find a place to stay. So ...
"The TAP will cover me from the first day i'll start to work till the last one(right?)" Yes that's right. The moment your pass is issued, your tourist visa is cancelled and your entry/re-entry permit is tied to your TAP. You don't need to purchase ... Read More
Employment Pass Rejection by louisa15
I have been in SG for 6 years in a row now (healthcare and an Sg licensed professional) and has been on employment pass ever since and as of the moment, my salary complies with the Q1 category which is above 3,000sgd. Never changed companies at ...
sorry to hear. the rules have been tightened for Q1 passes. It's not just salary that is taken into account but age as well. $3,000 monthly just would do it for a fresh graduate, but for older employees, salary is expected to be higher, almost at ... Read More

it's anyone's luck at the moment for EP applications. If you want to maximize your chances at a succesful appeal, don't hesitate to involve your HR, and get MoM to reveal reason for rejection (this can be tricky as they are usually reluctant to ... Read More

"is his a reason and also my company is not employing any singaporean" - unlikely to be the reason as there are no foreigner quotas for employment passes of Q1 category and above. For S-Passes, there is a quota and if there are no Singaporeans ... Read More
Please advise what clothes I should take. by spongekoji
Hi, I am going to Singapore in mid June. I will stay there for a week at the shortest or a few months at the longest depending on how things go. I donÂ’t want to have any preconceived stereotypical ideas and end up only seeing what I expect to see ...
Yes, there isn't much difference year long in terms of temp usually between 26 and 32 Celsius Read More

welcome. first off, SG is the most westernized city in the East. Conservative? that totally depends on someone's POV. I think it appears polished on the surface but in general people are mostly liberal about many things. It's always hot and humid. ... Read More
Effective Pass Appeal by babydollsakura
My employer and I have been having problems with MOM. I used to be an S-Pass holder in Singapore and after I resigned from my previous job, I looked for a new career that suits my degree and knowledge. I was aware of the changes in the salary and ...
first, you have to make sure the problem does not lie with the company itself (i.e company not compliant, foreigner quotas exceeded etc). In those cases, any appeal is useless. if your company is confident the problem lies in your application, bulk ... Read More
Hotel suggestions by Fred
Hi dudes and dudette. I'm Fred and I'm an expat but in sunny Indonesia, not Singapore. However, mummy and niece intend to pop over to see us but fancy the good old Chinese state rather than Indonesian that they think is in a state. That in mind, we ...
Sad to say, serviced apartments are also over the top most of the time with full hotel facilities and usually minimum stay is a week or so. looks like you'll need at least a 3-bedder, i'd say roughly sgd 3500-4000/week minimum. the other solution ... Read More

probably should have been clearer, the prices are in SGD, around 15% off the USD Dollar. Read More

hi, accommodation can be really steep. middle of the road with pool and continental breakfast, we are probably talking ard 200+ dollars per night. check out tripadvisor you can get pretty good deals. the holiday inns aren't bad. lots of options in ... Read More
I require a two bedroom flat or HDB by kapilshukla
Hi, I am moving to SIngapore in April and require 2 bderoom and we need cooking as well, because I am a pure vegeterian, please let me know if I can find something near Changi Business Park like Tamines, Bedok etc. My budget is - SGD 1500 - SGD ...
cheaper places are in the west and the north but I don't think that is going to be convenient because of the commute time of 30 mins you want. Around the east I'd say the cheaper places would be Pasir Ris/Loyang (D18). Prices are relatively higher ... Read More
