In current circumstances maybe not. As a suggestion try getting a transfer to HK first.margaret44 wrote: ↑Wed, 17 Mar 2021 6:31 pmthank you for your kind reply. having done more research on the matter it seems we just wont be welcome in Singapore, sadly. its a shame as i was even considering applying for full time voluntary charity work or something, to entice the MOM to grant us EP's but i think even that is unrealistic. I think we will probably focus on moving somewhere we have a better chance of being approved a visa. Thank you.
I think you're mistaken here. It's not the granting of the EP that's the problem as getting one is pretty straightforward once you have a job lined up. It's getting the job that's the issue.margaret44 wrote: ↑Wed, 17 Mar 2021 6:31 pmthank you for your kind reply. having done more research on the matter it seems we just wont be welcome in Singapore, sadly. its a shame as i was even considering applying for full time voluntary charity work or something, to entice the MOM to grant us EP's but i think even that is unrealistic.

Agreed. It took me awhile and happy chance of luck. I came through SE Asia in 1989 and decided I wanted to be here and it wasn't until 1992 that I landed a job onshore (I did work offshore VN for awhile first).Wong_Jnr wrote: ↑Thu, 18 Mar 2021 11:52 amI think you're mistaken here.

To make the move to Singapore you need to engineer your path be it via changing job, company or even role. It's not impossible as many have done it such as myself. You need to view it as more of a longer term plan as you are required to maneuver yourself career wise so that more opportunities open up.
I wouldn't give up just yet. It took me several years from the idea to actually getting the move.
Short answer: You can't. Singapore government SCDF positions are reserved for Singaporeans.Elhuncho wrote: ↑Thu, 25 Mar 2021 1:34 amHey there guys I’m a 24 year old British male and trying to find out how I can get a job as a paramedic in Singapore, can someone help me please, a lot of websites only allow you to apply if you already a citizen in Singapore or live there .

Hi Margaret,margaret44 wrote: ↑Tue, 06 Jul 2021 8:58 pmHi all - still on the mission to move to sg….
One question if I may….it has come to my attention that my husbands eligible for a PEP visa. Should he bother applying? Do you think it’ll make him more of an attractive applicant if he already has a visa in place, despite still being based in the U.K. currently? He’s only found about 3 jobs to apply to in 6 months, and most specify they’re looking for a Singapore based applicant or ask the question “do You have the right to live in sg” etc. So I assume they just bin his application immediately (he’s not had any responses yet)
The minimum salary requirement isn’t an issue for us as he wouldn’t accept a job paying less than 144k a year anyway..
On another note. Do you think it would be madness to get the PEP visa and move out there without a job? He’s never been unemployed so would definitely be risky however perhaps after 15 years of working flat out he is due a bit of a break. We have established a few contacts out there who are doing some ground work for us so maybe it would be faster move without a job and job hunt over there (hoping he secures one in 6 months)
Decisions! It’s so hard. Help. Thanks.
