Advice on partners VISA

[Eddie80]

Hi

I appreciate that this topic has been mentioned many times, but being new to this I am struggling to get the right results from previous posts.

I have a job and VISA for working Singapore. I have a partner without a degree who works in SEO?Digital arena.

I am trying to undertsand how easy woudl it be for her to get a job in Singapore and if she moves with me from the start I undertsand there is a VISA that she can get which allows her to be in the country for a year - whilst she looks for work and then when she does she then re-applies for a full Visa - is that correct?

Additionally my salry is based with commission and I have worked out that we should have after accomodation, bills etc around $2,000 dollars for food and general living - thsi question ultimately depends on teh individual which I undertsand everyone has different ways of living but is $2K do able for 2 people whilst she is looking for a job? and i dont earn any commission?

Any assistance would be great, my furture employer have her CV whcih tehy are passing around through internal connections and we are looking now for her but until she is in SIngapore it probably makes life difficult for people to take her seriously whilst over in the UK.

Is there a good possibility that she wont get a job, due to local demand, no degree etc ? - any thoughts on thsi and probability on her getting a position would be great.

Thanks in advance

Eddie

If you have already got your EP , you can apply DP for your partner if you can proof that you are under common marriage law. Read this
http://forum.singaporeexpats.com/ftopic ... highlight=

Go to www.mom.gov.sg to see the passes guideline

Once here she can then look for a job , if she found one, she can get a Letter of Consent(LOC) from MOM so that she is permitted to work. Her LOC is tagged with your EP. Therefore if you lose your job , she will lose hers too.
I would be incline for her to apply EP on her own once she is here. She can then convert her DP to EP.
For expenses go to the search button under the profile link. Type monthly expenses, there are heaps of infos being discussed here for you to absorb
If still unsatisfied with the infos, throw a line we will see how to point you to the right direction

You mean a spouse?

If you are married then no problem with a social visa or a dependant pass. If not, then it will not be that easy - search this forum for "girlfriend"

Additionally my salry is based with commission and I have worked out that we should have after accomodation, bills etc around $2,000 dollars for food and general living - thsi question ultimately depends on teh individual which I undertsand everyone has different ways of living but is $2K do able for 2 people whilst she is looking for a job? and i dont earn any commission?

I think you can manage considering the rent will be paid. Though you need to document cohabiting if you have been living together for over 6 months legally. You can take an Oath at the local solicitors, after proving to them with local utility bills, tenant agreement and such, the document is normally accepted if she is still living in the property.

Your live in girlfriend must take the oath at the solicitors in UK to document that you two have been cohabiting for over a year, she must then bring the document with her, as it will be required for the dependants pass and it's not even sure she will get a dependants pass, they look at them on a case by case scenario, no fast rule if unmarried though even a LTVSP is good enough to look for work, but virtually impossible to find work under the present circumstance, you really need to push for the dependant pass, so appeal if she doesn't get it.
