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

Hello, Recently moved to Singapore from Texas (been here since mid Aug) and finally feel like I'm getting settled in. I think it's time to meet some people to start hanging out with! Looking for girls (ONLY GIRLS) to hang out with (shopping, lunch, coffee ect.) and do couple's stuff. Currently I am ...

No, they just hand wrote it in on a line after the vaccinations and flea treatment. If it's not on the health certificate they will make you do it again before they are transfered to the quarantine station (while they are at Changi, I think they said it's like 10 SGD). Good luck! Let me know if I ca...

It is a USDA type form but you have to get it from your vet. They will fill it out, send it off ( or they may let you do it) and then the state vet signs it. Not sure what state you are from, but in Texas there was a $24 fee to have the state vet sign it. There is also a fee for the form but I found...

Does anyone know where I can get a gas tank to use with a USA BBQ grill? I have been told that the connections here in Singapore are different than the USA and the regular tanks will not fit. I was also told before hand that there is a company in Singapore that has tanks with connections that will f...

If you use pet movers here in Singapore I think it's around $379 SGD for the first animal and $179 SGD for all the others (this is a round about guess). Not really a bad price and they handle everything from the time you animals land in Singapore till they get to the quarantine station. In Paris the...

That was a problem that I had as well. Most carriers will not allow you to transfer your animals between other carriers. I travelled on Air France. I was able to get a flight from Houston to Paris and then Paris to Singapore. You are only charged the fee once so it's $150 per pet for the entire flig...

I just completed my move from Houston to Singapore with 2 small dogs. I did not use a pet mover on either end, but it was very time consuming! Regardless, I would do it again. I was quoted about $3000-5000 from moving companies just to get them here and ended up moving them over here for around $300...

Is there a way to go through the nursing board on your own? I have been in contact with them and they have told me that my hiring institution would be the one to submit all of my paperwork, but the hospitals have stated that I need to be registered with the board first. I'm confused!

Does anyone know about how long the wait usually is? I am placing my dog on the list and all they will tell me is that it is long. They asked for my arrival date and stated that I needed to put my dogs on the list now because there is a long wait. When I asked if there was a wait for that time frame...

Hello, Getting ready to relocate to Singapore from Texas and had heard that US electronics and such would not work there. Is this true? Is it just certain stuff i.e. TV's, blenders or blowdryers? I have also heard that TV's cost almost double. Is this the case as well? Just trying to get an idea of ...

Thanks for the advice. Two of the hospitals you mentioned were hospitals that I have emailed about positions they have open. Will take your advice on getting in touch with some doctors!

Hello all, I am currently a labor and delivery nurse in Texas being sent to Singapore with my husband by his company this summer. After reading all the nursing post on this site I am a little nervous! I have been in contact with some hospitals over there (mainly KK women's) but it seems like it take...
