easy for EP, hard for PR

ICA and MOM run different policies, not sure if they still do. If you are here on a work permit the MOM will allow you to bring in common-law spouse on LTSVP but you have to get a declaration. If you have PR, you must go through ICA and jump through hoops, beg and pray and you might get lucky

second hand furniture

as bebbi mentioned, most locals would rather die than buy used stuff - this is so true. I have however picked up some fantastic high quality furniture from this very website's classifieds section, for example 2nd hand 8 seater dining table $5000+ new, for just $600!! So worth a pick through the clas...

Hi, I have recently found myself travelling frequently and often times having to plan around my passport being sent off for visa applications ... then I just heard that some business travelers from the UK actually have 2 passports for this exact reason. Can anybody enlighten me on the quickest and e...

No, the whole point is that in my original post, I was wondering whether to start the new job whilst still serving leave on the old job - would anyone notice. It became a moot point seeing as I decided to take the risk of only handing in notice 3 days before starting a new job. Then had the unbeliev...

I never handed notice to my last company. 3 days before starting the new job, they made me redundant and gave me 3 months salary. Moments before I was about to tell them I quit. The following week I started the new job. Howz about that then ladies and gentlemen.

LEAVE ME ALONE TELEMARKETERS!! Where they get my num?

has anyone else had the annoyance of being continually called, up to 3 times a week, by telemarketing firms? sometimes they keep you on the phone by sounding business like, with lines such as 'our director has requested a meeting'. It's actually fellow expats, or at least it appears that way - ppl w...

Sorry - just reread your post. If you want affidavit (comm o/oath) you don't need any document (just your IC). All it means is that you are making a sworn declaration - you do solemly swear that <name> is your de facto spouse - in front of a justice for the peace as your witness. Get a lawyer friend...
