Thanks for your replybeppi wrote:Buying land or setting up a business in Singapore are not complicated, just impossible for foreigners. (Freelancing too, for that matter.)
You'd need a paid job to get a residence visa (e.g. employment pass)!
Programmers are plenty here (and TEFL teachers not needed), so that might be difficult.
Driving is difficult to afford (unless you earn really well). You'll hardly have anything to do with police or politicians (mostly hands-off administration).
If you call a surface smile "friendly", Thais are indeed better, but in Singapore you can find real understanding and good friends among the locals.
That's exactly what I meant: You cannot get a visa for this! And going under the radar (which you presumably do in Thailand right now) is completely out of the question in Singapore.James-83 wrote:Luckily most of my work comes out of the Uk and Middle East so finding work isnt a great worry. On the other hand visa's might be an issue.
Other people PAY for the thrill of having alien spaceships thrown into their way at random and trying to not hit them. In Thailand this comes completely FREE on the road everyday! (I bought the oldest and cheapest car I could find and drive every day when there, 30000km so far with only two minor indentations.)James-83 wrote:As for the driving Im more concerned about safety as over here it feels like mario kart sometimes.
Now you are surprizing me: Dental care (at private clinics) in Thailand has an excellent reputation for quality (high) and price (low). People travel from far away (possibly also Singapore?) to have their teeth done there.James-83 wrote:Ill be visiting in June so Ill have a look around. Im trying to find a dentist which removes amalgam mercury fillings safely at the moment. Thailand doesnt seem to have any so this is something Im hoping to find in Singapore.
