Trouble Finding Job in SG

[MellowMint]

Hi all,

I recently tied the knot with my foreign spouse (Chinese female, 27) at the end of Nov 2025.

We met in London — she completed her Master’s there and has worked in both Big 4 consulting (graduate program) and a British MNC in data analytics — while I was working in the finance sector.

I moved back to Singapore in May for a new role (I’m a Singaporean citizen), and she resigned to relocate with me.

We’ve completed the PMLA and ROM, and we’re now in the process of applying for the LTVP.

She’s been having serious trouble securing a role in Singapore. She has about 3+ years of experience (junior level: analyst to associate), but many job listings seem to prioritize PRs/SCs, which has been very stressful for her.

I’ve been encouraging her to network with expat communities to expand her connections, but I’d love to hear any tips or success stories from those who managed to find a job here under similar circumstances.

Many thanks!

Get the LTVP + PLOC. Then tweak resume to indicate “ICA issued LTVP with MOM issued PLOC, no foreign worker quota, levy, CPF if you hire me.”

Sadly many employers still don’t know about LTVP-PLOC, it’s up to the applicant to educate them. Once this hurdle is overcome, then the employer is more willing to hire. You will notice service industries love hiring LTVP-PLOC holders.
