SINGAPORE EXPATS FORUM
Singapore Expat Forum and Message Board for Expats in Singapore & Expatriates Relocating to Singapore

Yes, but this isn't really the question? What you describe is what got some people in the penalty box or what can hurt an application (possibly so today). Does the opposite help? I'm not so sure. Clearly, there are people staying in condos that get approved and people in HDBs that unfortunately hav...

I tend to disagree with most in this thread as most think with an expatriate mindset. (If you are an EP holder I would think that would be normal, to be honest). However, if you are an Expat here on an expat contract (getting harder and harder to find and usually only on senior levels nowadays), the...

Opinions are like buttholes, all have them and almost always they stink. It was common knowledge that along with CECA, Indian Nationals created virtual enclaves in quite a few of the Condos out in the Changi area (Near to the Changi business park where so many of the Banks have their IT backends loc...

Try these people..... I cannot vouch for them as I've never needed a translator but apparently they are also accepted by the various ministries here.

Regarding the money laundering group from China. Just wondering how did they get all their money in to buy properties, cars and other luxury items? Were the banks sleeping?

Just greedy.

It sounds bizzare the owner is asking you to move and yet seeking compensation. Makes no sense. And another renter get their first lesson in Renting in Asia and Singapore in particular. From the OP's posts, it appear nothing regarding the desires and methods with regards to the vacating of the prem...

Volinteering, help your neighbours, get to know ur community really well. Participate frequently in Grassroot events in your neighbourhood. This are the things I feel integrate I mean "Volunteering" is hopeless as it as been so over abused by a certain ethnic group that today it is a catchphrase on...

Congratulations Hope2023! Your perseverance as quoted by many, is truly admirable and inspiring. I have a question (open to all). I have seen everyone use the word "integrate", including ICA. What does integrate imply in real-world sense? This is not a walk-thru of how to integrate, but just a few ...

Urgently looking for experienced European Portuguese Teacher for an upcoming corporate teaching stint at a language school! Anyone interested? That's two. You are very close to being axed.

I doubt PEP helps, although maybe with the new salary threshold it means one is a high earner ($22,500 per month), which may be viewed favourably. Regardless, it looks like the 5-year Tech Pass is the only option available for you. Best of luck and regards. I am curious as well to see how ICA is go...

Is there any point to appealing a PR rejection whatsoever? Has anyone obtained a favourable outcome after appealing a rejection? My rejection came in May of this year after an 11 month wait and I have not appealed, but I’d like to hear other folks’ thoughts. My profile (since I see other people pos...

What perks do RC members get? Never heard of such a thing. Used to be we got free parking in our estate & constituency, but you have to have your name on the title of the car (or pink slip as we know it). Company car doesn't count but. Also if children are citizens then they used to be able to get ...

I'm guessing it would depend on how long it's been with an otherwise clean record. I had a DUI in the US not long before I came to Singapore back in 1982. However, as I worked in the O&G industry offshore I only live here on a standard 30 days SVP for 4 weeks at a time and then returned after spendi...

Very true regarding using tactile chess pieces. Particularly wooden pieces which have a certain feel about them.
