Greetings,
I am planning to move to Singapore mid-march to work in IT as QA lead and I wanted to ask a few questions in the hope someone can give me some feedback.
I don't have a degree but have been in QA for 10 years working in banking, Telecoms and most recently, Oil industry. Will not having a degree affect my visa application ?
if I do actually get a job and it's contract, is it difficult to set up a company there ?
If I do not get a job before I move and I apply for a 6 mths visitors pass.. can I reuse this if I get a job in the meantime with proper visa ?
Does anyone know the turnaround time from visa application to visa issue ?
Can I goto Singapore on a tourist visa and apply for visitors pass while I'm there ?
Many thanks !
Jell

Yes, but 10 years experience should be enough to overcome it.Jell wrote:Greetings,

You need to be a permanent resident of Singapore (or team up with one) to set up a company.if I do actually get a job and it's contract, is it difficult to set up a company there ?
You can't work with a visitor pass, you need an employment pass for any type of paid work. Your employer will arrange this if you're hired.If I do not get a job before I move and I apply for a 6 mths visitors pass.. can I reuse this if I get a job in the meantime with proper visa ?
Varies greatly. Usually days, but can be weeks or months.Does anyone know the turnaround time from visa application to visa issue ?
Vaguely heretical thoughts on travel technology at Gyrovague
thanks for your helpful information..
Has anyone applied for the EPEC before ?I have seen the EPEC I can apply for which is a little scant in allowing me to enter my work experience.
It asks for degree information.. again I don't have one I have a cert in programming.. and the work experience part is basically 'have you work experience' and that's it.. I'm going to apply for this anyhow if I don't get a job in the meantime but am a little nervous that I will be turned down.
I'm just wondering how successful are applicants for this type of visa.
