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

I am not sure why but I have seen so many Sunway Malaysia graduates coming to Singapore seeking jobs recently. Perhaps, Sunway seems to admit many students from outside Malaysia such as Indonesia, Burma, Phillipines and these students are not able to get a job in Malaysia so they flock to Singapore....

Oh PUR-LEEEESE, the world can certainly do less with one FAKE aka pseudo FTrash. Volunteering at a hospital ? Really ? Or like the thousands of LEECHES of your type entering OUR tiny island everyday, you are just as desperate in landing yourself with a senile old LOCAL man so you can wipe his CPF s...

I have a few conversation last year with a friend who complaint that he got a 780 GMAT, a stellar profile with 6 years of solid work experience in IT and great CCA records yet was dinged to all top schools he applied to and only got negligible scholarship to very low rank schools. The problem seems ...

probably your case has only been opened now to be reviewed as it was ranked low in the pile and so they just need an updated doc because 5 months have passed. They try to give a result within 6 months. I would not think that the chance is high because salary is too low and they even tell you to wait...

Having an offer of admission from a local university will be an advantage in getting a student pass but it does not mean that 100% will be approved. In 2008, 2009 crisis, a lot of retrenched foreigners used this method to stay back in Singapore instead of having to go home, but this is not as easy a...

OMG, do you believe it. ICA appointment is full till early December 2012. Are there any quota since its year end ? They can only accommodate a certain number of applications each day, if it is not available means not available, too many people are applying you know! But if someone cancels his appoi...

I applied for my PR on 25 Sept and got approval in 3 weeks. My personal info - Age: 29 Race: Chinese (Malaysian) Gender: Mal...

With a passing rate of about 20K each year, S pass or even Q Pass chance is very slim or almost zero. The only reason why your application is not denied right away is because your wife is a SPR from Malaysia which is a strong factor and some officer may hope to slot you in when a space becomes avail...

[...] It's a huge waste of money, they provide zero benefit if you already have a local who can do it for you. Thanks for all your answers. My very base salary is above 8k but I thought if I can add my "overtime add-on" it could help my application. Along the lines of: more is better :-) I simply a...

What is the approval rate for citizenship? I mean, what is the ratio of number of success to number of applicants? Have any idea? Does male-child from previous marriage count for points in my favour? If the house-hold income's large share is my spouse's (already a citizen) does it count still in my...

fresh graduates from India and the pay is 6000-6500? This will raise some eyebrows, is this company a shell company that trying to smuggle people into Singapore? They can easily find a bunch of talented fresh graduates from top local universities or even top schools in the world with 4K why pay an I...

TJLee, you seem to have very high chance, go ahead and schedule your appointment to submit the PR Application. Singapore needs people like you, young, well educated, have good experience and stay here long enough to be familiar with the Singapore society. Ignore all the negative remarks here, only I...
