I just arrived in Jan.mrjester wrote:Hi all,
So I've been in SG a little over a week. At the moment Im in a Serviced Apartment provided by my employer. Toward the begining of March I'll need to look for a new place to go but having a bit of a catch-22 moment and wondered if anyone had advice:
I don't have the upfront cash to be able to put down a deposit and a months rent in advance until I get my first pay...
However, to get paid I need a bank account in Singapore
To get a bank account in Singapore they want a proof of address...
So, you see my problem. Anyone else had the same issue?
thanks

I struck off my post, when I realised that your Lordship's post, which had come in while I penning my thoughts was similar to mine, and seem to have offended your LordshipHidy Ho wrote:You are by far the most useless frequent poster on this forum, IMHO ... and I do wish there was ignore feature on this forum.
Over 2000 posts in a 1 1/2 yrs??? Please remember that's a lot of daily posts from you that some of us have to ignore.
I have to admit I opened an account with no money and no address in the first few days of arriving here, I used my employers address, my contract and my IPA letter to open, they then gave me my cheque book, Visa card, Nets card and Internet Banking token all on the spot! DBS were very good! I did then transfer some money in from my home country to pay my rental deposits etc. Do you have this option? Or are you waiting on the first month's pay cheque?mrjester wrote:Hi all,
