ex Singaporean husband w/ Singapore wife

I don't think a PEP is ideal as they time out (after 3 years) and cannot be renewed (it's a weird thing and I think it is related to the old Professional Employment Pass scheme and is not a direct pathway to PR).

Isn’t PEP just an EP with a license to job hop?

Actually more like "temporary PR" but you have to have the income to prove it.

Temporary Permanent, and no contradiction!

Is your current employer able to transfer you here? Could you open a branch for them and apply for an EP under that name?

no they cannot. they don't have an office in singapore. even if they opened a branch for them - it doesn't really help doesn't it as I will be the only employee (100% EP? that won't sit well with MOM).. unless of course they hire more people - but why would they do that...
