SINGAPORE EXPATS FORUM
Singapore Expat Forum and Message Board for Expats in Singapore & Expatriates Relocating to Singapore

Hello all! Firstly, thanks a bunch for all the assistance and advice in this post. Just thought I'd share an update. I've started work in Singapore and stay in HH. My office is close to the S. Buona Vista/Pasir Panjang junction. I leave my house sometime between 7 and 730. Commute both ways takes be...

If anybody's interested to read about it, here's the link: http://expatjohor.blogspot.com/ Thanks to OKLA for introducing me to the blog. Looked at Horizon Hills, new highway opening up soon which would make the commute to the 2nd link easier. It's about 10-15 minutes away when following posted spee...

Apparently, Singapore is one of the cheapest places in the world for optical care. This includes spectacle frames, lenses and contacts as well. This is second-hand information (I never got round to verifying it), but from personal experience (and that of others) this seems to be so. Do bring your pr...

I used to live in Park East in Siglap. Wide open spaces and lots of kids playing football/rollerblading/etc in the open courtyard. It's a relatively older development (been around since 1984 or something) but well maintained and various units of differing sizes. But speaking of space and children, I...

I remember this ruling from when I used to study in Singapore (20 years ago). Once you hold a Work Permit, you basically cannot marry a Singaporean without permission and good reason. This was when Singapore had a much lower non-Singaporean population. While this regulation still applies to the WP (...

The dog is definitely going to be driving our budget way up. But I'm afraid we are irrational in our affection toward our dog and if she can't come, we won't be moving. From what I've read elsewhere, it sounds like there are several parks that allow dogs (on a leash of course) and I'm not offend in...

Greetings! My gf was offered a teaching position for a year. We've discussed it and the plan is for me to go with her. This is happening really fast for me so I apologize for not having done a proper search and I"m honestly at a loss where to begin since I've never lived outside of the states. I wo...

@ Mad Scientist : Many thanks for sorting out my confusion. This is what I shall do!

Btw, do you by any chance live in the Nusajaya/Gelang Patah area, and do you have any recommendations on where to rent?

Biggest problem at the mo': must be dog-friendly, and I hear Leisure Farm isn't.

vep_feedback@lta.gov.sg 17:56 (23 hours ago) to me Dear Mr XXX Thank you for writing to LTA on 5 Nov 2011. You wrote: Dear Sir/Madam, I currently live in Malaysia and will be taking up employment in Singapore shortly. We are planning on living in Johor and commuting daily. I have a few enquiries reg...

Checked with LTA. Dependent's pass means she's considered resident and can't drive her MY car in. Thanks! Show me where does it states a DP residing overseas albeit in JB cannot drive a Malaysian Car. You can get access card at both end but it is more for foot travellers. I am not sure about those ...

You guys are evil. Funny, but evil. @ SuperProgrammer : Singapore immigration laws are much more lenient for people who have studied in-country. That is why they offered you PR the moment you started work. I would suggest you TRY and apply for citizenship. I don't know how much things have changed,...
