The logic is that unless you have a documented long time formal relationship you are a suspect. Sponsorship is mostly about money, a guaranty to cover expenses and damages if such incurred and the sponsored person is not able to cover them, but there are also some other aspects. The person gets her/his leg in and the government wants to have here some control so this person is not like a completely random somebody. I guess it makes sense.Mulherengo wrote: I find it very difficult to understand their logic in this?
Is it very common to get suspected for "convenience marriage"? Even when company sponsored?

I just arrived today, and had a meeting with the local HR Department.
They say that as along as I have a letter from the "authority" confirming our "common law marriage", getting a DP should be easy - They will sponsor and have never had any problems getting it approved.
So my new question is this: How do one go about getting such an authorization? Which "Authority - The Singapore embassy, the local government in my home country, or where?
And secondly, is there a specific format they require this form?
Cheers
From the past forumer, you have to get it notorise and show proof of common law marriage from the Singapore Mission near you. I think the nearest will be in Norway. Get it notorise first proof of living together such as power bill , joint account etc then go to there and give them a call.Mulherengo wrote:OK Guys, thanks a lot for all the constructive comments - the two last a little less so..

If you are not under Assesment Level 1 or 2 countries, you will get 90 days or you ask for it. Standatd Bog Visa is 30 days. Recalcitrant offenders on doing short run sometimes get only 14 daysadione wrote:
