best Visa category and Job prospects for spouse
Posted: Sun, 10 Feb 2013 5:04 am
Hi
I am exploring the options and feasibility of moving to Singapore, hopefully through my company. That however does not mean I will get a handsome expat package. At best, I will move as a local with local salary (no idea what that will be).
My wife is a computer engineer with working experience in Lotus notes and Java J2EE. She has been out of the job market for a while for family reasons. I have the following questions regarding the possibility of her working in Singapore:
1 - What is the best visa category (other than permanent resident) that I should ask for from my company to give me, so as to enable her to be able to work with the least amount of legal formalities?
2 - as a computer engineer with development experience (5+ years), will she be have a decent possibility of finding work as a developer (part time or full time / working from home or not).
