Hi everyone
I've been trawling various sites but can't seem to find a straight answer on this.
My partner and I are thinking of relocating to Singapore in the next couple of years. He's a teacher so could find good work. However, I'm aware that it would be very difficult for me to get a job in Singapore - and almost impossible to do so before I move out there. Internal transfers are not possible for me as I work for a very local focused/ small ad agency.
From what I gather, it's very unlikely I could get a working visa in my own right - so would have to be a dependent on his visa.
If that's the case, then would setting up as a freelancer/ registering my own business be an option? I've read up about the EntrePass but still not sure if that would actually allow me to work as a dependent?
I just want to contribute and keep my career ticking over. I would even be open to voluntary positions at relevant businesses if his salary would allow it. Is that something that businesses do? (Assuming I would be ok to do unpaid work placements on a dependents visa)?
As I've said, it's not something we're doing in the immediate future, and if it would be impossible then we may have to give up on the Singapore dream altogether.
Thanks for any feedback/ advice!
