6 month trial run

Post by OrangeZeroSugar » Sun, 08 Sep 2024 2:14 am

Hi All,

I'm looking for some advice - I'm interested in emigrating from the UK to Singapore but have never visited before, so am planning to ask my employer to allow me to work from the office in Singapore for a 6 month period.
Because I'm asking to go I'll be covering all expenses, and unfortunately as I'm not leaving the UK permanently (yet) I'll remain a UK tax resident.

Employer is finance and my UK monthly take home converted to SGD is around 8k. I want a nice 1 bed in a good location and have enough money to to fully immerse myself and experience everything Singapore has to offer.

Has anyone done this before? Anything else I need to consider?

It's possible. Some of us have done this in various ways. Migration is a long long pathway - just getting to permanent residency is a reasonable enough goal.
I not lawyer/teacher/CPA.
You've been arrested? Law Society of Singapore can provide referrals.
You want an International School job? School website or http://www.ISS.edu
Your rugrat needs a School? Avoid for profit schools
You need Tax advice? Ask a CPA
You ran away without doing NS? Shame on you!
