it's now a year or so after the last post on this thread and I just wanted to say that the same rules still seem to apply. I followed the steps outlined here and got my approval in 4 weeks, avoiding going through an agency which was going to charge me $800. I've now received my LOC from the MOM alon...

My husband and I are Aussie citizens living in Singapore and we would like to talk to Aussie families who have adopted children here to advise us about the process, and give us the heads up about potential problems. I'm doing a lot of reading about the process but it's always better to talk to someo...

It isn't that uncommon in Europe. I've been taking homeopathic remedies since I was a child, and my homeopath was an MD, with several specializations in allopathic medicine as well as alternative. I doubt I'll be able to find someone at her level, but perhaps someone knows of some doc who is a littl...

Does anyone know a good homeopath in Singapore? Preferably someone who is also a 'regular' doctor?

- NOTE: I'm not asking for advice on whether homeopathy works or doesn't work. I'm only looking for people who have had some experience with homeopaths in Singapore and can advise me.

Thanks

Can anyone tell me if glucose test strips are cheaper in Malaysia?

Thank you, actually one of these posts does help. I think I need to convert my LTVP into a dependant's pass first- we're going to get married later this year but I think we might just bring that forward so I can get the right pass.
Thanks!

Thank you, I've spoken to the MOM and they have told me I have to go the Entrepass route in order to set up a business. I'll take another look at other threads- there's so much information, it's hard to know what's up to date.
Thanks

I wasn't suggesting to do it illegally, but often there are loopholes that allow people to set up a business. I've searched for the 'freelance' thread but there are no definitive answers. the only solution seems to be to set up a private ltd company (which can be done if you're on a dependant's pass...

Is there a way around the rule that prevents LTVP holders from working? I hear that if you create your own company then you can get a work pass that way, but two agencies have now advised me against that. I'm an actor and a writer and I just would like to do some freelance work, but I'm scared to lo...

We're in the process of getting some quotes to move all our stuff, incl. furniture and the companies that we have contacted have given us quite pricey quotes, which include packing all our stuff. Is this really required by law or are they just trying to get more money? Also- do apartments generally ...

Ok, I'll check out those links and Bupa too before we set off. Thank you!

My partner and I are moving to Singapore, as his company is opening a new office over there. We're trying to figure out how much health insurance will cost us, as it won't be provided by the company. Does anyone have any suggestion on any health insurers to avoid or any good ones, and are pre-existi...
