I've got a consultant in staying in the cheapest serviced apartment I could find, think its s$3300, Institution Hill on River Valley.returner wrote:Hi.
I'm considering a move to Singapore for a job offer, but I need to leave my family behind in Australia
I'll need to cover about A$11k for mortgage and family expenses back home in Syd, but I also need to get a cheap one bedroom Serviced Apartment in Singapore as well as negotiate flights back home to Syd every weekend (yea I know, but I need to see my kids!)...on top of that cover living costs in Singapore for the mon-fri existence.
Could anyone give me an idea of where you'd recommend a good, clean one bedroom serviced apartment thats cheap because the cost will come out of my own pocket (this is for a local role, and not an expat package) anywhere on the east coast, and how much I should budget for my Singapore living costs
thanks so much
I am figuring doing a 8hr flight twice a weekend every weekend would be quite tiring as well, regardless of the financial cost.snowqueen wrote:Sounds to me like you need to do a lot more research on this. You must be damn good at your job for your employer to think this is financially viable. The flights to Sydney are not cheap, I may be wrong but they must be around S$1,000 a pop. A hotel may be a cheaper option than a Serviced Apartment unless you don't mind sharing a condo with someone else.
And it's not only the flight... taxi to the airport, check in, clear immigration, then gate security check... wait around for plane to load... then reverse the process on the other end... add 2 to 4 hours to flight time.Barnsley wrote:I am figuring doing a 8hr flight twice a weekend every weekend would be quite tiring as well, regardless of the financial cost.snowqueen wrote:Sounds to me like you need to do a lot more research on this.
