Doesn't have a bearing at all so if your baby is born here, she remains Indian and you will need to apply the appropriate pass for her. So there: no benefits.shubham.nath wrote:help in becoming a Singaporean PR or citizen later.
If any such benefits are likely, then we would not want to lose out on them, and would overlook the cost factor.
I too would go with this .. as, back home, a dozen and more 'relatives' will be at hand to help out unlike here ..nakatago wrote:Doesn't have a bearing at all so if your baby is born here, she remains Indian and you will need to apply the appropriate pass for her.

So I'm guessing the cost factor would take over and you'd want to give birth in India instead.
Most Filipinos prefer to deliver in the Philippines because of the cost and the support system. If you think about it, the better standard in Singapore isn't much if you think about how much more expensive it is. Proper Philippine hospitals are good enough without sacrificing quality.mai011 wrote:I have that dilemma too. Im from Philippines and my partner is from UK.
WE just found out that were pregnant last week.
Im here on a long term social visit pass, if I decided to deliver it here, the baby will need to have a pass to stay here as well. oh god!
The cost of maternity and delivery here can be quite pricey tho i think Singapore can have a better standard than my local hospital back in Philippines., The thing is I have my family to help me out and support me throughout my pregnancy, here I have none except for my bf.
Im still weighing my options....

Can't tell about the UK, though.
Partner ? So you are not married .. and you got a LTVP .. so I am miffed how ICA will consider any form of long term pass for your infant and your 'relatives' .. if you decide to deliver here.mai011 wrote:I have that dilemma too. Im from Philippines and my partner is from UK.

I know what you mean, haven't really talked much about that yet but he asked me the key question of where I prefer to deliver,. if here or Philippines. I think if we decided to deliver the baby here, we will definitely need to get married asap.ecureilx wrote:Partner ?

And I thought there are good hospitals in Philippines, if you can afford to pay .. which may still be cheaper than delivering in Singapore ..
Well, a tongue in cheek comment - why not deliver in UK ??
well, getting married in Singapore too is pretty easy .. trust me on that ..mai011 wrote:Getting married is easy,weve been together for 3 yrs and I think sooner or later we will do, it just that I got pregnant a bit too early,,, haha. SO everything will need to be rush!.
And btw, UK is not an option as my partner is based here, and we never lived in UK. Getting a visa to deliver a baby can be quite complicated.'
To be honest, I dont really know if its that complicated, I just dont wanna go thru all that hassle. The thing is we dont have a life in UK, no house, no friends, except for his old friends he never really met for years now. Just his parents I guess. He moved to Singapore 7 years ago, and visit his family in UK from time to time. ( 2 times a year maybe.)ecureilx wrote:well, getting married in Singapore too is pretty easy .. trust me on that ..mai011 wrote:Getting married is easy,weve been together for 3 yrs and I think sooner or later we will do, it just that I got pregnant a bit too early,,, haha.

I may wonder, if you are already on LTVP why would UK make it tougher for you to go there ? well .. academically speaking ..
Sorry but I disagree on Singapore having a "better" standard with healthcare compared to PH. Service wise, it's much better to give birth in the Philippines. Doctors and nurses there definitely knows how to take care of their patients, unlike here where them seem to rush everything, even if you're on a labour alreadymai011 wrote:I have that dilemma too.

without complications, in KKH, expect to put aside atleast 8,000 $ ..Steve1960 wrote:Anyone have a ball park figure for the cost of a birth without any complications? I am from the UK and my wife is Filipina and we just found out she is pregnant with our second child. Way too much hassle to return to either of our native countries so we intent to have the baby here in Singapore. I am just wondering how much financial pain it will be.
If its very expensive I am going to the bathroom later this evening to beat my todger with a heavy object so that I never ever do this again
