Yep; looks good. Move along, now; nothing to worry about here.Pinshot wrote:I am from the UK and I have recently been offered a job in Singapore for a US Tech company. Its a security/investigations type role as a senior manager.
Some brief info:
I do not have a degree
Currently hold similar role in competitor company covering all of EMEA
Will require an employment pass
Compensations (210 000 SD a year including 60k bonus, excluding 200 000 USD stock)
Have 14 years industry experience working for major US firms. There is not really degrees for what i do (or wasn't when i was of age), typically requires military or police experience of which i have police experience.
My question is will i face issues with the visa process as im hearing different things? The company has not said it will be an issue but i dont wish to labour the point with them at this stage.
Wow so i am cutting it very close on the salary front?! Only 500 over the minimum i must earn?x9200 wrote:IIRC 12k is a base salary said to be the minimum to get your foot in without a degree. Yours is 12k5 so it seems ok.

If it is some way fixed then why is it split off as a 'bonus' rather than simply being incorporated into the basic?
I'm not an SME on the visa/pass applications... I suppose the question mark for me is what elements of salary/bonus/etc/+ add together to form the figure used for visa categorisation...
p.s. '500 over/pm'. Could be coincidence, or HR might have done that for a reason, maybe to clearly be above $12k level. Either way presumably they are comfortable structuring the remuneration in that way.
That's typical. The salary levels have actually created a salary floor (i.e. a minimum salary level) which it's hard to come up from. My wife is paid about $1 more than the salary floor for her employment pass as a teacher. The advantage is that when ICA/MOM change the levels upwards your employer has to follow. It certainly is an example of a multi tiered minimum salary system in action... everyone falls to the same level (except PR's). I think it was last year that the level my wife is on changed from $3500 to $4000 pm - her employer had to match it.Pinshot wrote:Thank you all for the prompt and helpful responses.

Nah, you shouldn't have to worry about it too much mate.Pinshot wrote:Thank you all for the prompt and helpful responses. I feel a little better about it even though i appear to be cutting it close with the minimum salary issue.
12k/month is for PEP pass. Back when EPs were P1/P2, it was 8k/month for P1 and that one didn't need the degree, just professional experience.Pinshot wrote:Wow so i am cutting it very close on the salary front?!

Credit where credit is due: I'm just quoting MoM. One can reasonably assume their published eligibility criteria accurately reflect their views and practices.Siv wrote:....as BBCWatcher put it.
