Hi,
I have recently accepted a job in the Philippines.
I currently don't think I want to move the family form the UK to Manila, as having made a few trips now I don't really like the idea of living in a secure compound. In addition to that, I have to work some pretty unsociable hours given that I am looking after a 24*7 operational centre. Commuting to the UK is not really a long term option given I have a young family.
So, my question is, is there a visa type which will enable me to live with my family in Singapore, even though I am working in Manila?
Any ideas or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Visa type if possible at all?

No, at least not any practical means. If you had enough money you could, but if you had that kind of money you wouldn't be taking up a job in the 'peens.

I don't know if it is possible -My thoughts would be to try getting your children into one of the International Schools on a student visa and then I think that your wife will be allowed here as a care-giver. You can visit on a social visit pass. Possible / Not?

carteki, good thought, and it might work provided which the "young" family is old enough for schooling in an acceptable school. I'm not sure if private schools are eligible or not - could not find anything to the contrary.
