That depends on your reaction in the jam-packed train filled with stinky locals..ruberella wrote: Is Singapore truly a freindly country?
Normally yes. Would be better when you spell 'friendly' and I've correctly.ruberella wrote:Hi Everyone,
Im moving out to Singapore in a couple of weeks for a year and half to work.
Im really excited to get out there but have a few worries too.
Is Singapore truly a freindly country? Ive heard so many good things about the fab people out there, I'm just wondering from other expats experiences if its true.
If your EP has already been issued, then all you need is the EP letter issued by the SG govt. However, if you forget that, they'll help you at the airport, but there will be delays/waiting.ruberella wrote:
When I arrive in SG will I need to have all my employment pass documentation with me? Heard that you need this to be allowed in lol...dont wanna arrive and not have everything with me in my hand luggage.
Consult your GP. The medicine system is pretty similar between the UK and SG.ruberella wrote: Also, Im on a long term prescription for medication in the UK what should I do about this when I arrive in SG? Should I stock up before I come?
No one. Except your family/friends. The govt will know from the airline database that you left.ruberella wrote: Lastly, Who do I need to notify in the UK that I am leaving?
I disagree, although no harm in doing so. When I left the UK, didn't inform HMRC or any Govt dept. One can specify this in their year end filing, no need to add another item to the to-do list.JR8 wrote: Notify the UK?: Yes, http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/cnr/p85_p85s.htm
Evidencing residency-status for tax liability is potentially important...
ohoo. thank you for the reminder! i forgot my P85! ..Steve1960 wrote:Do complete the UK tax form P85 as JR8 suggests and make sure you have your P45 to hand as they will ask for it.
You may be entitled to a UK tax rebate depending on your circumstances and when you leave. I received mine last week although I have been in Singapore nearly two years!
I have done so previously. Draws a line in the sand.chris_pilgrim wrote:so @Steve1960, you sent your P85 together with P45 from here to your UK's tax office?
Is there a certain way I should check my medication is sold?katbh wrote:You should not worry about your medication. Just make sure that it is a medication legally sold in Singapore. If it is, your local GP will most likely be able to dispense it for you from their own stock at their surgery. Otherwise you can collect it from Gardian (Chemist/Pharmacy).
