If you got an approval in principle letter that will let you into the country. At Changi immigration you will see a sign so that you can be processed in. So that means, with a print out of the in-principle letter (which should be faxed to my employer by now), I'm be able to book a flight and get in...

Finally my EP has been approved.

Now I'm wondering what is the next step. Do I need to apply for an entry visa to Singapore? Do I need to do the medical exam (if required) before going to Singapore?

Any advice will be appreciated.

Spellig is correct.
Thanks everyone for your feedback.

On the other hand, my NRIC has my name as Sunday Morning Staple and not Staple Sunday Morning. Does it really matter? Nah. Except when people are trying to find my fixed line number in the phone book and don't realize they need to look it up by my first name and not family name. That I can understa...

Great! The last thing anyone wants is a mistake in his/her EP.

Hi all, I'm curious on how names are written on official documents in Singapore. The reason I'm asking is because I just received my EP acknowledgment letter and I wanted to make sure that the name is written in the right way. So my name as in my passport is: Joseph Nashat Youssef Aziz and my name a...

Finally, I've got it. Three weeks of boiling anticipation.

Singapore, here I come.

Hi all, I was looking at some of the classified ads about renting a room and I came across a few of interesting ads and I started to contact the owners. One of the ads was posted by a person who is actually renting a 3 bedroom HDB and would like to share it with someone else. So you can say that the...

A more genral question is: Does it even matter what the citizenship of the applicant is??!!

Thanks Diana, that should be very helpful.

Whew ksl, strong reply you have there...

But many thanks, I'm just hoping to find a cheap place easily within the first two or three weeks of my stay. Glad to know it is not that difficult.

Hi - based on your budget I think you would need to share a place but there are definitely some rooms available within your budget. If you want to rent a place on your own you would probably need to increase it to 1,500-2,000 for a small apartment...best of luck This what I'm actually looking in to...

Yeah awesomearpit, UofT rocks! I'm in the same boat. Waiting for EP approval, same salary range, college grad with a globally-recognized professional designation. Although I'm in the Finance/IT industry... Kinda anxious but employer said I shouldn't worry about it. I'm anxious about too jomni, espec...

Doesn't sound very practical to me!!

In that case what would be a reasonable budget for my requirements. Again, I'm not looking for something spacious. The largest I'd be looking at is a one bedroom + one living room.

I agree with SE. You've got the salary, you've got the big company applying for you, you've got the degree, you're in a sexy industry -- unless you've confessed to an axe murder in your application, you should be a shoo-in. Nope, no criminal record that I know of!! Anyways, I'm really glad to know ...
