Hi,
I am currently setting up a representative office for my employer here in Singapore. From the Do's and Don'ts it clearly says the RO cannot engage in any local business such as consultancy services or support. It explicitly states the RO may not "Render any direct or indirect revenue generation activities on behalf of its parent entity"
Yet it would be nice if I could engage in one or two small local projects as doing helps selling a service or product much better than just talking. Such a contract would have to be set with the HQ in the foreign country, of which I am sure it would be no problem.
As chief rep I will be holding an EP.
Is there still a way to "getting busy" outside of the research scheme the RO is intended for? Am I maybe just missing something? I clearly don't want to be on the illegal side here, so suggestions would be nice.
Thank you very much.
Cheers, Ronald
