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

As the matter of fact, the funding of my last project came to end recently, Even though i was being offered a possibility to continue working in the same project but the financial compensation was insufficient for my standard, so i opted to move and find another opportunity in another research proj...

You can go on and on as much as you like, but you have it back to front. If you won't listen to basic reason, you'll never find the resolution you seek. Up to you. p.s. If you're p'd at NUS, then why not just sue them, rather than posturing around here in front of a bunch of disinterested strangers...

I'll be, if you were to go back and read everything carefully, you will find that somewhere in all the dialog, you will find the statement that all offers are contingent on successfully gaining the relevant working permit. It's almost standard in any offer made to a non-Singaporean. Yup. But he did...

I understand that my potential employer could not guarantee the work permit. However, they could have just decided much earlier. So you're blaming the government/MoM? After all it is they that 'decided' your case, and not NUS. Either way, since your predicament is of your own making, perhaps you wi...

it is not about loyalty, but more likely about maintaining good relation to colleagues Ex-colleagues? Why does that matter? without good references from colleagues, future employers/clients would not even take us into their consideration In banking, even 20 years ago there was a blanket policy of n...

First of all, thanks a lot for all the input I really appreciated your opinions Your loyalty is rather noble, but when economic times get rough, I wonder if your employer would be so very considerate towards you. Unfortunately you're now branded as the 'disloyal loyal worker', and the guy who intend...

To you and other applicants, when it comes to applying for work in singapore , do not resign or signify to your employer any intention to resign, as long as you do not have the IPA yet. It is what I always advise to other applicants I know. i cant possibly take a 3 years project, if i already accep...

I had noticed your earlier posts in this thread, but was thinking that the appeal should come through. Now after the rejection of the appeal, there is pretty much nothing else to be done. The Diplom by itself would not be a reason for the rejection, as there are many others who have gotten work pas...

Damn, that sucks. If one of our regulars, rdueej, is here, maybe he will help or weigh in. He works for NUS in a research position and is familiar of MOM/ICA regarding this. well, that would be great but it might not of any help regarding my case, but at least i would like to know what the reason o...

so, after a long way of appeal with more reference letters from my former university Despite strong support letter from NUS and my flawless references, the appeal got rejected again, given no further reason than just "you are not eligible to work in Singapore" it is a research position with a certa...

It was probably just some bureaucrat finding that your German qualifications doesn't neatly fit into nice, distinct boxes that they recognize. Most probably not NUS' fault. hopefully it was the reason, not because of some other reasons i cannot resolve... The salary seems quite low. Have you inform...

Yes, get an official translation that notes that the Diplom is equivalent to an international MSc. Strange though, since I think they now included "Diplom (German)" in the degrees they recognize. Just pay a translator - if you are here already, the German embassy website has a list - to include a f...

I hope you noted the degree as MSc or MSc-equivalent (if you still fell under the old "Diplom" scheme). Tripped me up the first time. Make an appeal, but have some letter with it with some explanation/clarification. Maybe try and see if you can get NUS to ask a few more details from MOM why you wer...

Indonesian chinese, but why is it important?
