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

Hi All, I've been a reader to this forum though not very active in posting. I find the information here extremely useful. Just to share an update at my end. IPA letter for citizenship approved earlier this week! May 2016: Online application submitted Aug 2016: Appointment to submit documents Jan 201...

Hi iamme, Thanks. You are right. When we went online to book an appointment, there was a 6 weeks waiting period for an available timeslot :cry: We didn't go for the SingPost option because it makes no difference to us from a convenience perspective and we are not in a hurry to have the ICs. Hi SMS, ...

Hi All, Just a quick update from our end. After a long wait for appointment with ICA, we have finally submitted our applications last week :) The officer who looked through our applications told us that it could take between 1 - 6 months of processing time. Fingers crossed. Hi All, Quick update fro...

Hi sundaymorningstaple, yogaloungeforever,

Thanks for the quick feedback. I'm glad to hear that both of you feel that our chances are good and the process could potentially be a fast one.

We are planning to proceed with our applications over the next couple of months.

Cheers.

Hi all, Firstly, hope joannajane doesn't mind me tagging along this thread to ask about my chances of successful PR application. This forum has been a great source of information on Citizenship, PR and Passes applications. I'm currently on a PEP which is valid until 2015. I've been living in Singapo...

you could live with $3,500 mate but you will have to live the local lifestyle. Which means living in HDB, eat at foodcourt and taking public transporation. You can rent a HDB unit for around $1,500, on a $25 a day budget for meals at foodcourt, $20 a week for public transport. You may still have som...

Hi Deano, Honestly speaking for $3500 I will pass on the offer. I'm from OZ too. Came here 2 years ago. A nice area to live would be somewhere central like Marina Bay. Just to give you some indicative figures to work with. A 2 bedroom condo in central area costs $4000 upwards per month to rent. Anot...

I've had a lot of conflicting opinions about buying a condo in Singapore. Buying property should be based on mathematics and not opinions. My opinion anyway :wink: For example: If you are a PR paying rent of $2k a month and planning to stay for 5 years, your $120k housing outlay is enough for a 20%...

Greetings all... long time viewer, first time poster. Be kind :-) I've been here about eight weeks and really struggled when I arrived... Starbucks are quite expensive and the quality of the coffee is hit & miss. Have been feeling a lot better about the situation since I went out and got a Nespress...

Hello everyone :) I will be relocating to Singapore in April. Glad to see that there are many football enthusiasts here :) I can see that many people have expressed their interest but it seems to me that not much progress has been made so far. If you don't mind, I'll take the lead from here to try t...
