This might sound strange... but I'd never realised there is a park there (yes, I know, by the East Coast Parkway ). But I mean, I've never heard or read anything about it. What is it like, jungle, or maintained, or more formal gardens with trees? p.s. Makes me wonder what else is out there that I s...

If you are not married, you will probably only qualify for a LTSVP. I'm on an EP and I was able to bring my long term partner here on the LTSVP. But you won't be able to work with type of visa. My experience exactly.... now I'm in the situation where if I want her to work, I have to marry her! Make...

I'm about half way between Joo Chiat and Geylang, with a wife and a small child (just off Tanjong Katong Road).

Paying 3.5k for a 1200sq ft condo with good amenities. Love the area, and love the value for money, and we are in no way bugged by any seediness or the like.

Query whether you actually need a VPN or a DNS service. I'm sure that tech boffins can explain the difference, although it would appear to me that a DNS service doesn't degrade network speed. You follow the bouncing ball to plug some settings into your router, and all devices on your wireless networ...

Even if it's not something special paying USD5 per bottle in duty will still work out cheaper than buying an equivalent bottle here. Hell depending on your airline and excess baggage fees (with Qantas I paid AUD50 for an extra 9kg or so) it still works out cheaper. I brought over as much as I could ...

Although the mountain biking scene seems to be fairly limited in terms of location, if you're not going to have a car it certainly will be good to have a bike for general use - so far Singapre to me seems fairly bike friendly, particularly with the park connector network. For example I can get from ...

I've bought plenty of gear over the years. HK is probably the cheapest and most reliable, but if you're going to buy something from another country, you need to be aware of warranty issues. Singapore is not the cheapest, but as these things are basically a commodity these days, we're not talking tho...

Where exactly are you moving from? That will determine the quarantine requirement.

If you were allowed to drive mopeds on your license in the UK but you do not have a specific motorcycle endorsement you will not be able to get a motorcycle endorsement in Singapore.

Would that license allow the OP ride until being required to convert to a SG license?

Sure! 1) What country are you originally from? Australia - my partner is an Australian citizen, but originally from France. I also hold Italian citizenship. 2) Your race? Caucasian. 3) Did you have any kind of declaration from your embassy(or elsewhere) to the status of your relationship? No, just a...

Dammit!

For anyone who went... how was it?

No problems for me in the Asia Square branch - and I never see too many people in there.

A guy by the name of Gilbert helped me, and then chipped in to assist with some issues that I was having with a credit card application.

My partner (we are not married) got one for 2 years based on my EP.

Does a UK driving licence give you the right to ride as well? In the event that it does, you should be able to use it to ride here to the extent that you can before needing to convert and then take the course in parallel. A word of advice - get the first step out of the way ASAP. That would be going...
