Which work visa spouse working remotely in Singapore?
Which work visa spouse working remotely in Singapore?
So we're moving to SG in February.. my work is sending me here to set up our new Asia HQ in Singapore.
My wife is currently a CEO of a specialist management consulting group around residential aged care in Australia. Her board has just asked her to stay on as CEO until at least June of next year remotely in Singapore! She's the heart & soul of the business.. things already started to unravel when she gave her 3 month notice last week so the board want her to stay on longer to ensure a very smooth transition to the next CEO.
So she will be paid by an Australian company but actually do her work in Singapore, which I understand means she will be taxed by SG govt. But what work visa does she need to apply for?
I'll be getting E-pass.
Thanks

As a non resident of Australia she should be able to have her salary paid into a Singapore account without Oz income tax deductions (there were some changes in 26AG - you need recent advice). The more probabalistic issue is how is she going to get any sort of work permit in Singapore without a local entity in place.

I guess, offically, she can come in on a Dependants Pass and apply for an LOC (Letter of Consent to work on DP from MOM). She sort of falls into a gap here as she's working from home, not taking a job from a Singaporean, not deriving income in Singapore.... but there will be questions raised as to how she is earning an income if she pays Singapore taxes. Maybe others who are wiser than me will comment.
