I've been offered a role in Singapore I may be interested in taking up providing I can take my same-sex partner along with me. My employer had done some homework on it and told me the only option was for my partner to study in Singapore (which he doesn't want to do)JR8 wrote:I posted earlier this year saying that the Singapore High Comm in Australia had just issued it's first dependent pass for the non-working half of a same sex couple. So it can be done.
Of the top of my head establishing you are in a legally recognised relationship in your home country would seem like a required starting point.

JR8, it seems my employer may have not dug deep enough. I done some searching and can't find your particular post about the Singapore High Commission action. Are you able to shed some light on this as I've also tried Googling it to no avail. Even a PM will suffice if you feel more comfortable doing this.
Such a useful thread! Thanks to the OP
JR8 - OK that's interesting...I might ask the question of the Aus HC here, as we have some potential staff in a similar situation. Thanks for the update.

Hello jcport67 (if you are still reading this board) and hello everyone else,jcport67 wrote: Would it be advisable then based on the above and the other post I just mentioned that I should (1) not bother with trying to find a lawyer and (2) just put in the paperwork for MOM for a DP for my partner? If they deny a DP do you think they will process a secondary application for a LTVP? I am thinking the best bet is just to apply with the MOM for a DP and if that does not work apply again for a LTVP. (And if that doesn't work then probably I need to not look for work in Singapore!)
Focus on this, as others have found a way after establishing that their partnership is legally recognized.MPL wrote: we entered into civil partnership last year in London (while I was on a short term assignment).
