Gosh - are you a Singaporean or do you live in Singapore ???leahlee wrote:Thanks for the prompt replies.
This is so hard:( I want to believe in hope but pragmatism > idealism.
That's how life screws you over.
In that case, does anyone have an inkling of what employers look for these days? He is into business. What are some skills an employer can't resist?
On the employer's side, why do they have to be so selective when hiring foreigners? What do they have to present to MOM should they decide to hire foreigners? Just want to gain some insights..
First you find an employer, and then the employer gets the form from ICA site, and the form is self-explanatory ...leahlee wrote:My question was.. What do employers have to present to MOM should they decide to hire foreigners? Was curious about that so I know how one (who is in need of a job) would get a better standing and hence, stand a higher chance at being employed.

Yes, you are correct: I had this query from a lot of friends from Thailand / Philippines, who were enquiring about 'fiance' visa, and when I told them there is no such 'fiance' visa, they were not only shocked, but very violently complaining about lack of basic human rights etc. etc. Go figureFor the record, Singapore ICA will not recognize co-habitation that is inaugurated in Singapore.
If it did, the SPG's would love it!
The only way that ICA will allow it is if the "arrangement" existed BEFORE the arrival in Singapore by the foreigner and the only reason for them doing that is to ensure that the government does not possibly lose talent that it needs solely because of a living arrangement that goes against Asian (Singaporean) norms. If the guy is a fresh grad who schooled here, it ain't gonna happen.
He can get employment pass when he finds a job after his studies. It's not that hard. You don't have to worry.leahlee wrote:Hi,
I am pretty puzzled by the whole immigration process and am not familiar with the law. I hope someone can help answer my questions.
My boyfriend is here on student visa. He is european and is absolutely in love with the idea of living here. He hopes to be able to work here and eventually stay here with me.
I am a Singapore citizen. Let's just say love finds us at the most unexpected times and places. What are some alternatives he can consider and how can he go about executing it? (Mariage is somewhere in the picture on the long run.)
Thanks in advance for the feedback:)
