Correct visa for my girlfriend
Correct visa for my girlfriend
Hey,
In February, me and my girlfriend who are both Australian will be moving to Singapore. I am moving there for a job, but my girlfriend will be looking for one.
Any tips on what visa she could get or what the plan should be for getting her work?
Thanks,
Matt

Re: Correct visa for my girlfriend
She can stay for a limited time on a social visit pass. Following that you'll need to sponsor her for a longer stay on a Long Term Visit Pass. You may need proof of common law marriage to do so. Check out www.ica.gov.sgmatt1298 wrote:Hey,

Oops - mistake - she may need a DP which depends on your visa class. Check out MOM.gov.sg for details.

Sorry to have to say this, but it's not exactly true. She CAN get a LTVP or even a DP if she can provide the necessary documentation that would suggest that they were living in a de facto or common law marriage. Doing a search of this forum using "de facto" or "common law marriage" will turn up a wealth of information from those who have been successful in this.melissasvn wrote:she cant stay here unless she can get a job. otherwise she has to leave Singapore once her Social Visit Pass expire. You cant sponser her for any pass such as: Long Time Visit Pass or Dependent Pass because of your relationship isnt Spouces

With regard to the plan for her getting work, when you arrive, get her to have a look at these websites:
sg.jobsdb.com/
www.jobstreet.com.sg
There are also a number of recruitment agencies, but the right one will depend on her experience and education.
