Additionally you will need to check if there is a overseeing government agency e.g., in the 'peens you have the POEA(?) which the domestic must go through (and pay) before anything can happen. I've not had a helper from the 'peens since 1985 when my youngest turned 1 year old. Every country is diffe...

Is she overweight?

https://forum.singaporeexpats.com/viewtopic.php?t=114804 While it is possible to directly hire a foreign domestic worker without incurring the middleman fees from engaging an agency in Singapore, it is not the easiest option.

Max, I concur with your comment. I haven't had the time to research the link with the poster. Highly probable it a throwaway email addy linked to another relatively new poster trying to flog apps on the FB page earlier.

Extremely good terms with Singapore. Both counties have reciprocal 90 visa free entry as well. If you have SGC your odds are much better than all other Asian or S.E.Asian countries.

I think their nationality is going to be a bigger hindrance than their length of stay, truth be known. But, yes, SF I agree, the length of stay is also too short.

Looks to me like you are still in your native country.

Profile is good, but the sticking point is going to be your ethnicity/nationality. You fall under "others" and are competing with all others (e.g., not chinese, Indian or Malay) in the world trying as well. Additionally, it does seems harder for citizens from the Philippines, Vietnam & Myanmar to ge...

Sounds like you are good to go. Just a waiting game now. Figure between 12 and 18 months (normal nowadays). You are probably a shoe-in at maybe 90% and while being married to an SGC would may add a bit, I feel you are already in good shape. Forget checking with ICA. The only answer you will get is '...

Eventually countries get wise to certain nationalities and their game playing. This makes it hard on their countrymen who follow later cause once a nationality gets tarred all suffer even if they don't have that intention.

Without a core of full-timers, you will be at the disadvantage when dealing with free-lancers without sufficient full-time staff to keep running the comp...

Won't happen according to someone I know inside ICA (the officer who gave me PR over a quarter of a century ago) - who told me this around 5-8 years ago at a social function at SICC) But he also told me that remaining a PR here and retired on Family Ties was a no issue one. Fortunately, I have US SS...

Honest answer (for you I'm not sure why)? I never planned to stay here. But due to an unfortunate chain of events, I lost my retirement home in the US last year so no longer have anything there at all and I made a vow to my wife before we got married that her parents would always be taken care of.
