How much will it cost to live and work in Singapore?

I just came back from Singapore (July 11, 2010), and several colleagues will also go to Singapore to work, so I will try to answer your questions.

It will be more difficult to live with 1,800 Singapore dollars. Among them, the relatively poor accommodation costs 500-700 Singapore dollars (shared with others in a Singapore government welfare housing-HDB flat). It is the kind of house with only four walls and only one bed and one straw mat. The floor is made of ceramic tiles, which are very worn for a long time, but it has air conditioning. , otherwise there is no way to live. The most economical way to eat is 4-5 Singapore dollars per meal (remember, the portion is very small, rice is about 2 portions). You can only eat at places like Chinese food stalls under HDB flats. There are no With air conditioning, one meal will make you sweat all over. In this case, food and accommodation alone will cost 1,000 yuan. There are also transportation, communications, etc., so you have no chance of corruption and the best chance is to lose weight successfully.

In addition, the Singapore government’s requirements for issuing work visas seem to require a minimum salary of SGD 2,500. Whether you can apply for a visa with your SGD 1,800 is still a question mark. Or else he was hacked by his boss. Please be careful, I met many construction workers who were hacked by their bosses.

If you are also going to do architecture, I don’t recommend you go! ! !
