What people usually do is paying for a 2-year landed PR and then trying to find a job within those 2 years. Check ICA website for details.soma_yuki wrote:I think It will be easier if U apply PR for ur own first.then apply PR for ur wife..

No your wife can't work on an LTSVP. Without a sponsoring company willing to employ her it will be virtually a no-go. The fact that she has 7 years experience doesn't matter if there are sufficient locals to fill those positions. The reason for bringing expats into the country is to fill jobs that either they do not have sufficient qualified people to fill or the locals refuse to do those kinds of menial labour. Why should they just open their doors and let all and sundry just waltz in an take their jobs?
Just because you don't like the truth doesn't mean that it is wrong. You are dismissing first hand information and obviously don't have a clue what you are talking about.ceej1979 wrote:Because it happens in every country on the planet?

I really wish people would stop posting this "it's impossible to get a job if your're not local" rubbish on here.
It flies in the face of reason. To claridy, Singaporean employers, in my experience do not give every single job they have to nationals, just because they are Singaporean, and qualified for it.
They have quotas to fill, of course. But if you are livinig there, apply for a job, and are qualified, you'll have a decent shout, no matter what your passport says.
I can't help but think people like you just come on here trying to put people off trying.
This theory that Singapore employers will only hire Singaporeans, for all jobs, is just plain false.
You need to read, digest and understand: firstly sms has not said 'it is impossible to get a job if your are not local.' Secondly he is not 'trying to put people off.' merely stating what the policy is. In short if you are no use to the Singapore economy then you don't get. The government has to look after its own citizens first.ceej1979 wrote:Because it happens in every country on the planet?

You do realise you are quoting something which was posted back in December 2008 don't you?ceej1979 wrote:Because it happens in every country on the planet?
