Can I look for jobs if I have an entrepass

Post by Dsilva.allwin » Wed, 04 Jul 2012 5:07 pm

Hi
I have been studying in Singapore and have done my MBA. I have a friend who wants to start a business in Singapore. He will be investing the the required amount n the business and says he will add me as a director in the company so that I can get an entrepass and says based on that I will be able to look for jobs in Singapore. Is it possible? Can I still look for jobs on an entrepass?

Plz reply...

Thank you
Newbie

Sounds like fraud to me.

Sounds like fraud to me, too. Besides, you can look for jobs without an Entrepass. And, if you got a job, your new company would need to apply for and obtain a new EP for you. Finally, what makes your friend so certain that you'll get the Entrepass? You need to have related skills and experience to do that... or it's a no go.

Is your friend aware that as an Entrepass holder, you must own 30 percent of the shares in the company? With a S$50,000 minimum start up, that means he puts in the $50K but $15K of the shares must be issued in your name.
