Ha! But I was directed by you (I think) from another thread to this thread, and now there is another thread that is better than this thread! Seriously though, thanks SMS - most helpful. I promise I did search this site as well as MOM etc - the thread above must have slipped through my dragnetsundaymorningstaple wrote:Read the last two pages of this thread.

As far a this thread going off tangent, most of 'em do eventually as people post willy-nilly without using too much common sense (Foreign Talent!). We only moderate when it gets to be racist, foul language, out & out troll. For moderated threads we only have the Strictly Speaking sub-forum under the General Forum. There are heaps of good info if you check out the search function (upper right side of the page under the "profile" link. (not the one with the orange button).
Oh, and welcome to the forum!![]()

If a DP sets up a private limited as the sole director, are they still subject to the requirements under the EntrePass system to meet minimum levels of local employees and TBS (total business spending)?Strong Eagle wrote:I was contacted by MOM today regarding running a business on a dependents pass.
The person on a dependents pass, as noted earlier, can register a business (sole proprietorship) or form a private limited as the sole director.
The person must then contact MOM for a letter of consent, and once the letter of consent is received the person is free to run the business.
As with the Entrepass, businesses not of an entrepreneurial nature (e.g. coffee shops/hawker centres/food courts, foot reflexology/massage parlours, karaoke lounges, money changing/remitting, newspaper vending, geomancy and tuition services etc) will not be considered for a letter of consent.
A person's DP will still expire at the same time the supporting EP expires. A person who is making sufficient income and wishes to become independent of the supporting EP should consider filing for their own EP.
EP, Entre-pass, WP, S-pass is awarded based on the merit of the person, not his / her status here - wife / husband /father etc. ..mfcarava wrote: If a DP sets up a private limited as the sole director, are they still subject to the requirements under the EntrePass system to meet minimum levels of local employees and TBS (total business spending)?

I will be moving to Sg(obviously with DP) with hubby. I am a .Net developer and working on freelance basis back home. What procedures should I follow if I want to continue my freelance web development. After reaching Sg, I might continue working for my existing clients (from Europe) or might search for new ones in Sg. Please shed some light.
Thanks and cheers

Why would you say that ? Prudent employers are worried about what you know and what you deliver, not what your pass status is .. if you worth, they will do the needful to get you the relevent passes .. or did I miss something ??kithu wrote:Thanks for the reply. In any case I will check with MOM as soon as I arrive in Sg. I heard its difficult to find work in sg with a DP.
A lot of employers don't know that people on DP can be hired relatively painlessly. And for those that do, they know that the ability of the DP to work is dependent upon the sponsoring EP remaining in effect. So, there is a risk in hiring a DP.ecureilx wrote:Why would you say that ?

My question was towards the OP: if she is worth it, then the employer would be more than happy to do the needful ..Strong Eagle wrote: ...
Here is the deal. Things have tightened up. It may be harder for a DP holder to form a sole proprietorship to start a business that has no history. This would be the case, in part, because of the view that foreigners are taking jobs.kithu wrote:Guys,
