I have a question on ICA's employment policy for long term visit pass holders. I am a Singapore PR and my wife is in Singapore with me holding a Long Term Visit Pass. I am the owner of successful one man consulting company here and I would like to appoint my wife as director for my company who would actually be "non-executive director"
It says on the ICA website that "Holder of Visit Pass is not permitted to work or engage in any business, profession or occupation without a valid work permit or written consent from the Controller of Work Pass."
I think my wife wouldn't be considered as working in Singapore as she would be merely a non-executive director and it shouldn't not constitute as employment if you ask me.
She would be paid director fees every now and then which would mean that she would be paying taxes to Singapore. Any thoughts/experiences
