It's compulsory to provide NRIC/work pass to owner when rent a place. This is to prevent the person will do illegal thing in the house. :^o In your case, the owner is too scare to get you move in without providing work pass. Your copy of passport should be sufficient enough before your work pass re...

I am renting a room within a HDB flat, living with landlord. The 1-year contract was ended in December 2017. I continue to pay rent to the landlord. Nothing was signed to extend the tenancy. My questions are: 1) Is my landlord breaking any rule because nothing was signed to extend the tenancy? 2) I...

Dear folks, just wondering what kind of services or related additional services you think expats in Singapore would expect from their "ideal" property agent? :wave: You mean besides finding a place, checking the title and contract, negotiating the contract and submitting the stamp duty? Sent from m...

Well, from my personal experience, I scheduled an interview 2 days after I had a paid slip. You'll have to stay here anyway, once for the interview and the second time to collect your passport - processing time is 3-5 business days if it is approved, so why not make a holiday out of it? You also wil...

Please read their directions for online payment at the US in Singapore embassy website.
I do not know if any foreign payment method would work, but you can try.
Besides, you can schedule interviews here couple of days in advance as well as do the payment only after the interview.

As I recall there is no such requirement for being a local to pay.
You download the payment slip from their website, go to the post office and pay.
You can do that yourself.

Please check US Embassy website in Singapore, they have instructions.
