No bets, but that was my inclination in interpretation as well. Most other would just use girlfriend, boyfriend, Common law or de Facto spouse or Wife or Husband.seasider wrote:Well it may be the company I keep, but I would interpret it as same-sex partner in which case not easy, lots of visa runs required.

Whatever the circumstances, I don't think it's easy unless you are married or your partner can get an Employment Pass in their own right. We're a little bit behind the times in that respect. (I know a gay couple here that has been together for 17 years but that counts for nothing in a land where homosexuality is illegal.)
I'm not sure of the ease of getting a DP for a (hetero) de facto spouse; well I know from friends that it's not easy, but I'm sure somebody on here will have done it and will hopefully advise.
Anyway, enough speculation. Good Luck to you.

If it's a heterosexual relationship, they can usually get a LTSVP but whether or not it's renewable I don't know. deFacto spouses that can prove that they co-habitated together in their home countries, like utility bills in one name and telephone bills in another at the same address. If their Embassy will give them a letter stating same then Singapore will allow them usually to stay and long as the relationship in not in violation of local law.

i actually thought hetero relationship too... but only b/c when i first started working in london my boss kept referring to his 'partner' and i just assumed he was gay (coming from the states where my gay friends all said 'partner')... boy was i surprised when his 'partner' came to the xmas party and she was a beautiful blonde girl!

Hope this would help?chicago_dude wrote:Hey group,
I am about to relocate to Singapore on a working visa and have a domestic partner ( gay ) to bring along from the USA. Is this even doable or do i keep my partner on few months at a time and has to come in and out of the country to avoid a violation.
Any advice is appreciated
