A Year in Singapore what will my girlfriend do?
A Year in Singapore what will my girlfriend do?
I have been given an opportunity to move to Singapore for a year with my company; however the move hinges on what opportunities there are for my girlfriend. She has recently completed her PGCE (Teacher Training in ART) but to be fully qualified she will need to complete a year’s work experience at a UK state school, but this can be deferred. I really want to understand what opportunities there would be in Singapore for her in terms of work and how it would work in terms of getting her a VISA.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

See if she can teach English for the British Council. Otherwise, she can be a tourist for 5 days, go shopping the next 30, and then be mindless bored the last 330.maxwello wrote:I have been given an opportunity to move to Singapore for a year with my company; however the move hinges on what opportunities there are for my girlfriend.

He might have a problem if he cannot get her in on a LTVP. That will be his biggest hurdle. After that, she can approach it from the Letter of Consent side of things which should allow her to bypass the normal EP hurdles. But, saying that, we all know that they have also been tightening up the criteria for obtaining a LoC as well, so even that might become a problem as we have seen a couple rejected even though they were not on the verbotten list of occupations.

JR8, yes, LTVP is the only one avaailble and that's assuming he can convince the ICA that she is a common law wife as opposed to just a GF.
DP not available for Common Law wives, only actual Wives.
AngMog - that's what I thought, then I checked MOM, I am not sure the difference between LTVP+ and LTVP though

Ok, thanks and noted.
p.s. LTVP vs LTVP+. AFAIK, the latter gives a possibility of working, via gaining a Letter of Consent (LoC), the former, the LTVP, you cannot work on ...

LTVP+ must be married to SC not EP. Must be married over two years and/or have a child. Again, it didn't register that spouse is not spouse at all therefore cannot get DP, but only LTVP.

The best is the iPhone voice navigation trying to pronounce those acronyms. The ECP sounds roughly like the 'ikip', and the AYE sounds like 'Aye' from 'Aye Aye Captain'.the lynx wrote:Welcome to Singapore, where a pie-lover will squeal in delight at the sight of many road signs pointing to PIE.Brah wrote:Moar acronym
