Firstly u need to know the location of your office so that you are able to search for a place nearby. I do know that Singapore is a small island but living nearby will also cut the costs of travelling.

Hello IamonNet,
I am planning to move in Mid March but it depends on when my employer send me the professional pass(IPA). Did you already have the visa in your hand? I understand from previous posts that getting a professional pass takes 2-3 weeks only.(?)
Can you send me PM with your contact details
BTW I will be living near to Jurong Island Highway and am looking to be in touch with Indians moving to Singapore.
Thanks,

Anywhere from 2 days to 2 months generally.

There are a lot of Indians in Singapore.

Hi Friends,
Now I have got IPA in my hand but it has rather confused me a bit
It says at one place that this IPA consists of a single journey visa and at another place it says that IPA entitles me to start working in Singapore provided I have a long/short term visit visa
Kindly any body of you please clarify if I need to have any other document as well to enter Singapore other than this IPA and my passport.
Many thanks..

The IPA is your visa to get in. You'll get a multiple entry visa with your EP. You don't need anything else. Don't lose your IPA and you're fine.

COVID-19 travel to India
Ring the Indian High Commission. My impression is yes but you won't be able to to leave India easily to return to Singapore (i.e. one way only).

It sounds like you might want to consult with a tax consultant in India as suggested - it will probably help you find the most efficient arrangement...
