Thanks for reading my post. I need some suggestions from you on what to do to make my REP renewal posssible.
Here is my situation:
- 2003-2005, stationed in Singapore, employed by an MNC with headquarters in the US and a representative office in Singapore;
- 2005-2010, stationed overseas, employed by the same MNC, but posted to other country to work;
- 2011, stationed overseas, but left the MNC company.
- Have been filing IRAS every year as self-employed person. Have been making [/list]monthly CPF contributions.
My REP renew is due at the year end. For some reason I am still not able to stay in Singapore this year, but I hope to retain PR for future use. I am considering some options and hope experienced person like Mad Scientist can help offer some suggestions.
I have the opportunity to be employed by a small Singapore-based company, but still have to work from overseas. This means that I can produce a employer’s letter at the time of REP renewal. Will this help? Or Does it help to set up a Singapore company of my own, but operate from overseas? Which one is better? What else can I do to increase the possibility of getting my REP renewed?
Thanks very much for your kind help.
