Hi Friends, Me and my hubby are planning to settle in Singapore soon... I am MBA finance having 4 yrs experience in finance field. I would like to know whether we have good working options after coming there. Also pls let me know cost of living there, (overall Singapore, as we are still not sure abt the region)... and living style... and schools for my DD who will be LKG next academic year.... Any reply would be highly appreciated
GIS is best international school in Singapore as I know.. Options are good in Singapore but not so much to explore here....very small country...
Hi Ananya, SG is a nice place to live and I hope you enjoy it a lot. Now for your queries, a. Work Options: Job opportunities are good, but the only catch is now the SG gov is tightening is policies for foreign workers. So getting a job on DP (Dependent Pass) is much more difficult. Best thing to do would be to secure a job in SG and then come over with an EP (Employment Pass). b. Cost of Living: This is very subjective as something expensive to one may not be so for another. mmm.. on an average, housing (2 bed room) is currently $2000 - 2600, food, travel, entertainment, misc will cost close to $2000+. Again these may differ from person to person. c. Schools: You have to option for going to Indian international schools, PCF (gov kindergarten), and private kindergartens. You can find a list of kindergartens in MOE website and you can find the fee structure in the individual schools website. For gov or private kindergartens, the fee will be around 300$. All the best!
