I love the food in Singapore, but the only thing that I can think of food wise that I haven't seen so far in Singapore that I really miss is chicken dhansak.

Can anyone advise where I can get it in Singapore? I realise that obviously Little India would be my best bet - but where?

It may also be worth looking on the Contact Singapore website. That's a great idea, I've not heard of them before, but it has to be worth a go, so I will contact them. Let me know how you get on too. With regards to getting married, I think that if you get married prior to your partner applying for...

I don't know whether I would be able entitled to get a dependents' pass for my partner if we were to get married as I already have my Employment Pass.

If what you describe is the correct interpretation, then it looks like LTVPs for common-law spouses are no longer an option for UK nationals. Yes, it looks like that is the case as the documentation that MoM are insisting on receiving isn't possible to be provided according to the British High Comm...

Hi nic152. Unfortunately we haven't been able to make any progress with our application and are at stalemate with MoM. This is because MoM are insisting that the notarised affidavit must come from the British High Commission, whilst the High Commission say that they are unable to supply this affidav...

It does seem that your situation is very similar to ours, but you seem to be further ahead in the process and frustrations. Before we left the UK I checked the criteria on the MoM website needed to get an LTVP and I saw that they would need a letter from the relevant embassy or high commission. I ch...

Ah, apologies. This is what can happen when existing threads get 'taken over'. No problem at all, I can see where the confusion came from. Maybe the point is that we 'generalists' can perhaps point you in the right direction, but we can't give specific advice, especially in shifting laws and circum...

Isn't the issue that you're still married to person A, and now wishing to attest to an effective marriage to person B? I think that there is a little confusion, I am the original poster and I'm seeking advice on how to complete a notarised affadavit for my partner to stay in Singapore. Someone else...

You bigger problem is how to get a notarised affadavit as most notaries will already know what you want it for and the fact that the UK doesn't recognize that type of relationship, therefore will not notarise an affidavit that is obviously attempting to commit fraud. There are plenty of notaries he...

I haven’t had to get a notarised affadavit, but I understand (inexpertly) it basically involves making a statement in front of a lawyer (or notary public). I expect you might need to bring documentation/proof to satisfactorily back-up your statement. They’re then attesting that they’ve confirmed yo...

This is terrible, it looks MoM have changed the LTVP criteria as per the above link. When I was planning the move to Singapore earlier in the year I checked and at the time I would have been able to get my partner an LTVP, which i applied for when we had found somewhere to live. Now that I am here, ...

There were changes made effective 1 March in regards to the LTVP. In the past, you could have a stat dec declaring your relationship. Now, MOM requires the notarised affidavit, and unless you are in a same sex relationship that is recognised by the UK, the UK will not sign off as they do not accept...

I moved to Singapore two months ago on an Employment Pass and my partner, whom I lived with for seven years in the UK previously has come to Singapore with me. Before I left the UK I checked to see the criteria for my partner to get a Long Term Visit Pass and I noted that to be eligible for the pass...

When you check in at Heathrow they will question how long you are intending to stay in Sginagpore, why you don't have an onwards/return ticket and your Singapore immigration status. I get asked every time I'll make sure that I have my AIP letter on hand when I check in at Heathrow too, so hopefully...

Thanks, I'm just looking at booking the flights now.

And thanks for the links, it's all useful stuff to know, especially from people who have gone through the same thing!
