Perhaps you are aware, but it would be more difficult for a Singaporean to get permission to work in Europe than it is for a European to get a work permit here.Florian wrote:Dear Forum,
if I can get any help regarding the following it would be much appreciated.
I have been here for 2.5 months now but I haven't got a work permit,S-Pass etc yet.....
Of course,the authorities don't give any reason..
Okay, I am a A-Level graduate from Germany and finished my apprenticeship (2.5 years) last January. I am now a state-approved shipbroker which is in GERMANY the highest degree in this field!
After having finished my exams my German employer sent me over to an independent Singaporean shipbroker. Now,the Singaporean shipbroker tries to apply for any forms of work permits but forms like WP,EP and S-Pass has been rejected. Even the appeals failed...
I know that Singaporean authorities are quite strict in approving applications for foreigners especially when I don't have any real work experience.That means they don't see any reason for the Singaporean company to take a foreigner instead of a local. I get the point!
But I don't agree on the point that in these times of globalisation and whatever a young well-qualified man is not allowed to work in Singapore which calls its economy - a highly developed and international market-based economy.
I am just frustrated without any salary,Singaporean bank account, rights etc. blabla...
So if you could help...however...
Thank you very much in advance.
Regards
Florian

smacks of ignorance and arrogance - vielleicht sollte ich es mal auf gut Deutsch sagen: Ignoranz und Aroganz. Bloss weil ein Land Dir keine Arbeitserlaubnis gibt ist es auf einmal Entwicklungsland. Warum haben so viele Deutsche die Idee das Ihnen alles vorserviert werden muss - kein Wunder das wir unsere marktposition verlieren.But I don't agree on the point that in these times of globalisation and whatever a young well-qualified man is not allowed to work in Singapore which calls its economy - a highly developed and international market-based economy.
I did it too. But I was never asked for the 3K guarantee.Vaucluse wrote:I'd agree with the rep office, that's how I did it once as well. easy - letter from your employer, 3k bank guarantee and Bob's your uncle - work from home or in conjunction with the local company = it matters not.

To make one thing clear...I am just frustrated and irritated. I don't discriminate or judge anybody.
Vaucluse/Quasimodo:
Furthermore,you should be better informed about our German immigration actions before talking such a crap. With more than 9pct. foreigners in Germany we are neither ignorant nor arrogant,I think.
Please do not use this forum to express your hate against us,okay?
I haven't said anything against Singaporeans in general or whoever I just wanted some help!
The admin should better close this before some guys turn mad!
Thanks and thanks to those who tried to help!
