That is not a rumour. That has ALWAYS been the way. Just because a company wants to hire you, the MOM doesn't always agree. Therefore it's ultimately up to them whether you get the final approval (e.g., employment pass). Since Sept they have tightened up the criteria even more though.leonar3d wrote:T
I heard indeed rumors that even if you get a company to hire you the government often retain from giving out work permits.

I've been studying in Singapore since 2 years and finished my degree now. I've been applying for jobs all over the place and I also got a good amount of interest. Usually they ask if I have an employment pass or if I'm a permanent resident. Once the fact emerges that I'm still on a student pass/social visit pass the companies loose interest...
So my question is: how am I supposed to get a job if they require PR or EP, if I can get PR or EP only if I already have a job?!?
Is there anything I missed?
Some good advice would be welcomed!
Regards Leonard
I like the idjit who responded you this post of yours. He thinks he understands what you said, but read his other post. He's actually a lost ball in high weeds. Thankfully they've tightened up criteria!ceej1979 wrote:I'm thinking of majoring in "how to get a job in Singapore, when you're not really that good".
