Hello everyone,
Hope someone out there can give me some advice.
I'm a Singapore citizen (51 years old ) married to a Swiss guy ( 56 years old ) for about 8 years, currently living in Zurich, Switzerland. We plan to relocate to Singapore in July 2013.
I do not have a job and my husband plan to continue to work as a freelance translator in Singapore.
1. What are the chances of him getting a LTVP+ ? My husband have a Bachelor in Linguistics from University of London and earns around S$ 10,000 per month ( based on his last 6 months earning ) He used to be a partner in a translation company but he has since quit to be a freelance translator because we wanted to live in Singapore.
2. If he gets his LTVP + approved, can he set up a sole proprietorship so he can continue to work as a freelance translator? Most of his customers are Swiss companies based in Switzerland.
3. If he cannot set up a sole proprietorship using his LTVP+, can I as a Singapore Citizen set up a sole proprietorship and hire him as an employee ? I read on MOM that the employer can apply for a Letter of Consent for a LTVP+ holder.
So if anyone in this forum who is or has been in a similar position, and can share your experience, it will be greatly appreciated. Or any advice on how best to proceed to enable us to relocate to Singapore and for my husband to continue his work as a freelance translator.
Thanks very much
Pauline
