My question is - can my company apply for her for a DP prior to her resigning from her company and giving up the EP. The reason I ask is that I would be conc...

go for it. but as advised above, dont sign a lease to an apartment, rent a room until you get familiar with singapore and know where you want to live.

Rent a serviced apt when you come and spend the first few weeks familiarising yourself with singapore until you find a neighbourhood or location your like. then, decide on the type of place you want (e.g. apartment, condo, 2 bedroom, patio etc...

I did one at Raffles Hospital before - you can view their "executive health screen" packages on their website. I went recently though to Prince Court in KL as I travel there a lot. It's cheaper and you get significantly better service i.m.o.
