LOL..I don't think you're being one at all!taxico wrote:not to be a dick, but shouldn't these things be handled by your husband/his company?
are you being paid? i hope you are.
i'd go with eagle's suggestion of starting a singapore PLC. it is not difficult nor expensive to start and wind-down a singapore company (everything can be done online even).harshapd wrote:...The company has a registered subsidiary in Hong Kong, with no employees living there. So they are reluctant in registering an office for no added benefit...
I will send my accountant details in a PM. There is a fourth option open to you. Instead of your USA company creating a wholly owned subsidiary and then employing you, you could form your own private limited with, say, you and husband as shareholders and directors (as before, you would still need to employee a nominee director until such time as you were "ordinarily resident" in Singapore, ie, you have your EP and DP).harshapd wrote:Thanks Taxico, much appreciated.
Strong Eagle, may I have contact details of your accountant?
Thanks

You should read through the threads about the Entrepass in the Business forum. Quite a few people have formed their own pte ltd and applied for and obtained their EP. A MOM official has emailed me that such requests are evaluated on each separate basis.
If you were to go this route, you'd want to be able to provide evidence of a contract, with payment amounts. This would demonstrate that you have a going concern with a contract in hand.
Of course, this would also mean that under your Singapore arrangement, you would be a contractor to your company and not an employee.
