You could start here. http://www.sla.gov.sg/htm/ser/ser0307.htm#d As I understand it, informally of course, a PR would be permitted to buy landed properties if there is a clear demonstration of long term commitment to stay. For example, I have started a business and run it for almost 7 years in Sin...

I am a real PR, I applied got it and have no plans to leave. However if I make an investment to the tune to a couple of million+ then I want to consider all the possibilities, one of which may be there's an economic downturn, I lose my job and eventually have to leave to get employed (I get no welfa...

Guys,

We've recently become PR (April), and interested in buying a cluster house. I know there's restrictions on buying and we'd need to apply.

Can anyone enlighten us as to our chances of approval and things we need to consider (Renting it out if we leave for example?)

Thanks.

Lunchtime it'll be over as I mentioned - we're not that ignorant of the conditions here

Thanks Missus. Point taken about being outside, we were thinking a wee picnic with some sort of play area/water thing kids can run around in, but maybe that's because we're new and how we'd do it back in the UK. If people get prickly about kids being outside then it's worth avoiding the issue (Kids ...

Thanks, Been to fidgets and it's fine but not really for the number of kids we're bringing or ages of some (Or even numbers, think it's for much bigger groups from what we could see). I'll look at those others. We're having an early picnic, it'll be over by lunchtime so shouldn't get to mental and w...

just posted this in entertainment then thought maybe this is a more suitable forum to be asking. Anyway, here goes:, We're new to Singapore and our youngest is turning 2. Looking for suggestions on a place to have a picnic/birthday party for her. We don't know that many people as yet, so it's a smal...

Hi all, I've got a Singtel Mio package (In prep for EPL) football next year, and just discovered my Set top box doesn't record, and Singtel charge for this. Before I go ahead and go with this DVR, I'm wondering if anyone else out there uses a different DVR (TIVO?) they can recommend. Also I'm gettin...

Guys, Can anyone recommend some mailing lists, or places ot find up and coming music gigs etc in Singapore? Just saw Florence and the Machine played here Sunday night and absolutely gutted I missed her, saw her in the UK and she blew me away. I know big acts come through, but was surprised to hear s...

Salary will be pretty high, by western or local standards I think, qualifications as I say are pretty specialized and experience wise I've been doing what I do for 18 years so got plenty. I actually asked my agency yesterday, and they would be willing to. Guess I just want to know all my options, bu...

I'm working for an employer, here in Singapore full time. Got my EP 4 weeks ago. I'm looking like I could get an offer for another job, which would be contract based. Skills wise I'm very specialized, so usually justification isn't ever an issue for a company (Only 200 locals have my qualification)....

Hi All, I've been in Singapore 7 weeks now, and had a job lined up before I got here. Started 4 weeks ago, with an EP. I'm hating it - made a big mistake. I'm at the final interview stage for another role, which is right up my ally, and is something I know I will enjoy (Long story short the current ...

TV price will always go down in price given time, whether you are in singapore or in mogadishu. if during the IT show is selling it cheaper, just buy it there. why wait and buy it later? at the end of the day, dont be so tight. if you need a TV, just buy it. Is a manager on this forum like a mod, o...

Say I have a particular model in mind, do you think it'd be worth going along to show and seeing if I can get it cheaper, or just wait till afterwards and get it in an electronics store? how long is a piece of string... :roll: I've no local experience, hence I come to a resource like singaporexpats...

Wasplanning on waiting till around then anyway. I don't mind getting this years good model that's about to be superceded.
