Any recommendation for a company that ships packages to the US?
I'm looking for something cheap, as my move back will not be covered by my employer

Thank you.

My company has a pension plan for foreigners which kind of makes up for the fact that you cannot participate in CPF.

If they company can get you a P1 go for it, note that P1 and former P1 holders are eligible for PEP.

There are companies offer some kind of a "pension plan" to their foreign employees in lieu of CPF. Your contribution to such plan are taxable, so is company's match, so this increases your overall tax rate compared with PRs (which of course may not be a problem if the company contribution also cover...

Note that the PEP in principle approval letter is valid for 6 months, which kind of gives you a year to find a job (although you still need need the social visit pass to stay the 6 months before you collect it)
