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

I think you are swerving away from the issue I have raised that a newbie is quickly and aggressively dismissed as a wannabe PR abuser after rather innocently looking for help on this forum with no mal intent. Anyway I think I've made my point and it may even help to generate a little more empathy ne...

As much as I dislike the suggestion of judging the motives of an applicant based on whether he has 1st or 3rd world passports there is doubtless some truth to it. But that is not relevant here as the op is a British Citizen. Therefore he is no different to me or other long term PRs on this board. I'...

Thanks SMS and likewise I respect your right to an opinion and to disagree with my views but I'd really appreciate a response to my main point. Why label the op an abuser? My point re achieveing PTS PR under 2 years was just to clarify facts that it does happen (even in current climate) but I totall...

I feel compelled to disagree with you SMS and PNGBK. Firstly in what way has the op given any intent to "abuse/milk the system"? He has said he is looking to start a family and wants job security almost the exact same reason why I have applied for PR except i already have a young family to support a...

Unfortunately we are not sure how she got them but we think it was through KK hospital perhaps worth calling their pharmacy. Like you we relied on friends and family to bring more over as we weren't able to get as much in one go from our doctor and the few tins we bought here were when we started ru...

We can't remember all the details but we think it was about 16 or 20 tins. Approx half in luggage half in our shipment. 100 tins sounds like a lot bear in mind it is only intended for children up to one year and I assume if your child is on it then you will be encouraged to wean them at 4 months wil...

Hi we have about 6 tins that we no longer need (brought over from UK) as our son has grown out of his reflux. As it is so difficult to acquire seems a shame to waste it pleas get in touch if interested.

Sorry if this is breaking any forum rules

NS has nothing to do direcly or indirectly with my point (it is not something that worries me) nor does the other case you described. I'm just saying that applying for PR/SC whilst actively considering that your family may or may not again live outside Singapore for a number of years (whilst fulfill...

Singapore have you asked the school? My son is SC (dual nationality) and we have him registered for an international school, the school advised us it is unlikely to be a problem with MOE, my guess would be your school would be able to offer you the best advise. SMS, with regard to your point on why ...

Of course it does and I think you know that is not my point. My point is (and what i stated above) the PTS form requires far more details in terms of jobs and education etc. Therefore how can someone who is applying using the spouse form be adjudged to have met the PTS requirements if they don't pro...

This may seem pedantic but I don't see how a spousal application can be judged vs the PTS criteria when the form does not ask for anything like as much detail or proof. So I would expect career/job details to carry far less weight than via PTS route.

I'm also curious about this as was unsure which route to take. I went for the spouse scheme as I thought it demonstrated a greater commitment to Singapore (i also realised afterwards it's a stronger visa in terms of REP renewal) but the spouse form doesn't allow for including many positive carear/jo...

We live in river valley having moved from london and I would have to agree with recommending little ones, so far we are very happy with it and of the places we visited it was our favourite by a long shot.

I would recommend buying the bjorn travel cot only 140gbp and 5kg and you may travel again

My wife and I are making the move from London to Singapore later this month partly because we are working parents but we only have one 8m old son. Interesting point about school holidays. We have already prearranged a domestic helper but also feel uncomfortable relying on her for childcare so we've ...
