Hello, I'm pregnant, due Nov 11 and am struggling with all my options here in Singapore. If I was in the UK my Dr and hospital would be determined for me but over here i've got to figure it all out myself... can anyone help?

Hi all, I'm just over 5 months pregnant and I'm Australian, my husband is Irish.

I think all your discussions are moot: The OP indicated that his child was born in Vietnam and got the citizenship there by birth. In that case (no matter if the parents were married or not) he/she cannot get Singapore citizenship by descent. Incorrect. My daughter is a British citizen by birth, bu...

Is there any chance of having EP approved for the applicant who has been issued a police warning in Singapore? Last year, due to the stupidity of the Blackberry interface, I received a warning letter from the police about (silent) calls to the emergency number. I had my EP renewed no problem in Feb...

Hi I am from the UK and recently married in singapore. I need to sort out a UK visa for my wife. I know roughly what I need to do but would like an expert opinion to make sure I am doing everything correctly. Can anyone recommend an expert in Singapore than can help me?

I am trying to relocate to Singapore to be closer to my home (kerala,india) especially with my elderly parents , asian culture, but with a work atmosphere similar to UK. My wife recently moved to Singapore from working in the NHS, albeit as a dietitian, not a doctor. The one thing I've noticed is t...

Thanks guys. I decided to wander into their office today, and it seems you are allowed to announce a marriage after 15 days, then leave the country. So in my case I got here yesterday, today is my first full day, and the 15 days is up on the 18th of May. I can go online and announce the marriage ju...

Donald Trump and the Republicans want to see the long form of the death certificate.

Hi Folks, Thanks for the advice. I've already talked to the taxman in the uk and sorted out the formalities to not pay him anymore (he's got the message, just hasn't implemented it yet!) On the money moving front, I will need to transfer just living expenses, accommodation/utilities etc being paid ...

Untrue.

Arsenal only bottled it in April this year.

Thanks to SE and others I have all the links for the various travel sites, just wanted to get actual personal experience or recommendations - thanks in advance. This will be my first trip, and it will be self-funded so will fly cattle class, and as there's two of us $ is a factor, but not at the ex...

[quote="BudoMan"] Apologies, I didn't mention that we have two elementary aged kids who will attend one of the int'l schools. It is correct that I will pay the int'l school fees out of pocket but this portion will be pulled off the monthly salary & paid directly to the school to reduce personal tax....

There is.

You will need to buy your own health insurance. Other than that.....

ey up, A quick question if I may; Am i correct in thinking that the only stipulation to being a 'tax resident' is that i reside in Singapore >183 days a year? This being said, I am therefore liable to pay income taxes on the following basis: http://www.iras.gov.sg/irasHome/page.aspx?id=9896 I have ...
