Approved

Hi There -Just wanted to post a quick update to say that I have just received my approved LOC from MOM. I'm so very thankful to all the posters here who have shared their experience! MOM said it would take 5 weeks, but it took only 3 weeks!

Thanks.

Anyone near Kembangan MRT (in East) that would want a hit of tennis for an hour or 2 on weeknights? I used to play back in NZ a bit and am keen to get back into it. I'm a 31 year old kiwi, been here just over 1 1/2 years.
PM me if you're keen.

If it's a foreign company and you'll be paid into a foreign bank account in foreign currency, why even tell them? They'll never know Yeah - I have asked myself the same question. But, if I do want to pay taxes here Singapore (because the tax rate is far better than in my home country, and our two c...

Ok - so I went into MOM to confirm that it is ok for me to work for a foreign company while on the DP. They said, if the company was Singapore registered then I have to get a Letter or Consent (LoC).

Thanks! I will check with the tax office.

So, I shouldn't need to change my Dependants Pass to something else then, even though those on DP aren't allowed to work in Singapore?
Im hoping not.

Can I be employed by company in my home country when on a DP

I am on a Dependents Pass and living in Singapore - been here 3 months. A company in my home country wants to employ me. They want me to work remotely, pay me into a bank account in my home country in the home country's dollars.
Am I allowed to do this?
