Hi All,
My husband, who is a American Board Certified Internist and Geriatrician practising in Dallas TX, and I, Retail buyer at a large luxury retailer, are considering moving to Singapore and were looking for some feedback from any medical practitioners from the US who have recently made a similar move.
I am a Singaporean, USA PR, and he is a USA Citizen. Any thoughts on whether it is a good decision in terms of income potential for him? He has been working in a private practice for a year now. We both feel that it would be a better lifestyle and we would like to be closer to my family. We are just concerned from an income generating potential for him. If it makes sense to move out there from the US as a doctor. We know that the rules re: foreign medical professionals are changing but does anyone have any further insight? the MOH is a little unclear still..
Also, can someone explain what his income tax situation will be given that he is a USA citizen. And mine too, being a US PR. I understand that we have to pay taxes on global income over a certain amount?
We'd love to hear from anyone who is in the medical field currently in SG or anyone who is also looking to make a similar move.
Cheers
APD
