When I set up my company, the Entrepass was much less restrictive and had no requirements for annual spend or number of SG employees. I did it all myself.sdd80 wrote:Strong Eagle - would you be suggest a specialist on the subject? From other posts I understand you recommend the company that you used for your application?
I read the previous links carefully and found them very useful. That said, my understanding is that immigration policies are becoming even stricter and I'd like to speak with a professional on the most up to date view of things.
Thanks in advance
You're really moving into uncharted waters here... it's not like MOM publishes guidelines for their decision making process... my opinions and those of others with similar experiences are based upon inputs, outcomes, and intuition/gut feel as to what will work and what won't.sdd80 wrote:Thanks for your response. I take on board all your advice, I just want to carefully consider all the options. Agree that Entrepass is not the right route for me.
What are your thoughts on the PEP route? I have a local business partner who is a PR. If he sets up the company and I get a PEP independently then in theory I can be hired by his company. Later on we figure out how to move from PEP to EP or PR at which point I can get equity. I do satisfy the PEP requirements. Can a PEP holder really be employed by any company - even if a newly setup company without trading history?
On the EP route, I feel comfortable with the strength of the offering, doing a solid business plan and can furnish a decent start-up capital. However, I don't think i'll be able to secure contracts in advance - main reason is I don't think any corporate clients would take me seriously before I'm on the ground and authorized to work in SG.
Thanks again.
