I've been thinking on this one for a while. Here goes, various thoughts, large and small.detroitechno wrote:My spouse and I have been in Singapore for almost 4 years.
I am on a dependent pass and I have been working as a freelancer in my sole proprietorship on a letter of consent. I set it up using the information in this wonderful forum!
It looks like things have changed and the original thread is no longer active. I was able to renew my LOC in September of 2016. My business is doing very well!
My spouse has another job offer and is considering changing to a new employer here.
I've been speaking with agencies who tell me I cannot transfer my LOC if my wife changes jobs and I need to create a private limited and apply for my own EP.
I am a freelancer with my name as the company name + my service and a sole proprietorship is perfect for my business; I don't need to incorporate. I do not need to hire staff. I do not require any investment from a third party and a director would serve no purpose.
In a perfect world I could just renew my LOC again with my new DP. This business is my livelihood and I am looking for trustworthy advice on how to continue my business if my wife takes the new job.
I cannot find any updated information on this in the forum so I was hoping someone here can help.
Does anyone have any advice on continuing sole proprietorships for dependent pass holders?
Get somebody who has better expertise on WPOL.detroitechno wrote:I'm trying to stay optimistic about my situation sundaymorningstaple.
Can anyone offer me insight into what they mean by "appoint an employment agent"?
I am pretty sure that a licensed employment agent is nothing more than a person who works for a licensed employment agency. For example, Acme Pubs Pte Ltd might engage an employment agent to find bar workers and waitresses. For a fee, the agency/agent finds the warm bodies to fill the positions, then applies for the work permits on behalf of Acme Pubs. Not just anyone can do this... they must be licensed by MoM... hence, either the employer or the agent can file for a permit.detroitechno wrote:I'm trying to stay optimistic about my situation sundaymorningstaple.
