It is total fixed monthly salary of $30K inclusive of fixed allowances such as housing. Also, the spouse can work with a letter of consent. https://www.mom.gov.sg/passes-and-permits/overseas-networks-expertise-pass Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Swn4/Malcontent - it's fixed monthly salary - I'm n...

Having been here during a major influx of random mainland Chinese in the 2000’s, I can definitely see why Malaysian Chinese are highly preferred. Nothing against mainlanders, but a large majority are unable to assimilate well here, and most that I knew back then either went back to China or migrate...

High income was never a criteria for PR. If that was the case, your coffeeshop uncle/auntie would have zero chance. PR is for those who are going to sink roots here, not for those who will jet off at the next opportunity. Yes, you must be able to support yourself but earning 6 digits is a bonus… An...

I think the new framework has a lot of potential, if managed dynamically enough. Singapore's "closed door" system, where it's always a gamble on approvals, it's just not suitable for businesses that need to move quickly. I always rather hire local than foreigner - I never met anyone in SG telling me...

Right! 350K, while impressive can be seen as a flight risk in the eyes of the ICA. Sorry for the blur-ness - how does a high salary / IRAS return translate into "flight risk" ? People with such high salaries are paid that much mainly because of their experience/expertise and this makes it easier fo...

Go down to Shenton Way and ask any 'C' level executive in the Finance Industry or the equivalent in the IT industry and see what they say and ask them how many times they've been rejected for PR. People at those salary levels are plums in the industry and depending on some other variables they are ...

After going "by mistake" to Mövenpick *sigh* - what's the exact reason for people going off their head for ............ Rösti ! And paying those prices for potato peelings.

Btw - it seems you can after all:

I don't believe Singapore taxes such foreign income, but you'll need to check with an International Tax Accountant. The issue is not tax, the issue is the condition of DP - which might not allow you to carry out paid work in Singapore, without a relevant work pass. I checked the law and policies, bu...

If it really gets seen by someone's eye - yes, it could. The weaker the profile, if it makes the rank, you don't want small things to impact a conditional approval. There's many little things here and there across the forms that people can get wrong if they don't pay attention to details. That said:...

Sorry stochastic - you don't have 20% chance of acceptance, you have 0.1-2%. I have a friend with your same profile, just 1 or 2 yrs older - and also 8 or 9 in SG. involved in AI - snr director position - salary is probably around 350-400k mark plus at least an other half of that (minimum) in RSUs,...

you didn't mention your nationality ... anyhow, I feel your pain a bit better than the others - I work with AI/data science, and due to my job title in the EP it doesn't fit directly with the "data science" category, but with another one which is IT related - which certainly have less weightage on t...

Hi everyone, Thankful to this great forum I have been following since long, this is my first post and would need your expert opinion on my PR case as below : PR application : 2nd Application Applied in May 2022. Nationality: Indian Race: Indian Marital status: Married Gender: Male, 38 Immigration s...

Sorry for my blur-ness .. but .. if you're SPR, what's rush to be SC so quickly ? I think natural progression, unless there's some other motivation, is to finish education, work for at least 5-7yrs with some growth - apply late 20s early 30s. Also I assume you did complete your NS. And, sad to say ...
