Talk to someone who has worked in Singapore.

First of all, let's talk about domestic intermediaries. There are too many intermediaries in China. It took me a year to go back and forth to many places. Every time I go to an intermediary, I am deeply influenced by their money-making materials and rhetoric. I can't wait to go at once, but everyone must remember that no matter how excited or urgent you are, don't make a decision at that time. After all, it's best to have a friend with you.

As we all know, there are a lot of intermediary materials, among which the paradise on earth described abroad has earned a lot. Please don't believe one-sided words, look for other people's experiences online.

I was lucky to know that my friend's friend was an intermediary when I couldn't decide for a long time, and then I accepted his suggestion and went to Singapore. As for why it is Singapore, let me talk about the second point below.

At that time, there were many choices before me, but in fact, except for Japan, Singapore and South Korea, the agency fees needed by other countries were around 654.38 million, which was too expensive. Although I earn a lot, my family conditions are average. Although I can come up with 65438+ 10,000 yuan, I really can't bear to tell my mother about it because I am afraid of being cheated or going. So I gave up.

Actually, I didn't want to go to Singapore before I've always wanted to go to Korea or Japan. I am a young girl, influenced by many Korean waves and Japanese winds. I wanted to go to Korea at that time, so I had to make a decision. But at this time, my friend just told me that his friend was an intermediary and asked me to consult him. I thought it wouldn't hurt to see more. His friend knew I was going to Korea and told me not to go. There are many options for working in Singapore, most of which are office work, and my English is passable. I was hesitant. She said that there are so many people going abroad that going to Korea means selling things and making efforts, but you can't learn anything. When I come back, I will start over as usual.

Having said that, everyone should know that there are many kinds of jobs in Singapore, and all walks of life are as unrestricted as in our country. As long as you have the ability, any industry can have opportunities.

Let me talk about the visa types in Singapore first.

There are several kinds of work visas, generally WP and SP, depending on your diploma in China. WP is a visa for people with a high school education or below, usually uncles and aunts who have never been to school. SP is a junior college degree or above, and there is also an EP that requires a bachelor degree or above, and then PR (permanent residence) is collectively referred to as a permit.

Here, the Singapore government stipulates that the basic salary is different for different licenses. The higher the education, the higher the salary and the different treatment. WP has the lowest basic salary, and the work is generally very tiring. Enjoy low authority, and so on.

However, the experience I want to talk about here is that the salary of SP and EP is not necessarily higher than that of WP. Although it is stipulated by the state, many companies cheat. When reporting to the country, SP's basic salary should be 2000, and many companies report 2000, but it is paid according to WP's salary. This is annoying. There are many cases in which the employer sued the company, saying that the salary does not meet the national regulations, but I want to remind you that this basic salary is reached between the employer and the employee. I have given you this condition before I hired you. You are not kept in the dark, and you will have a serious contract, so actually I don't think it is appropriate to sue the company.

Next, I will talk about the process of applying for a visa, in which two intermediaries will intervene. One is from China. I contacted you when you were in China. At that time, I went to Singapore for 30 thousand, excluding the agency fee. China people only got 7,000 yuan from it, and then the Singapore agent took the lead. Because you went to Singapore, he was responsible for you to the end. Singapore agents needed formal exams and certificates, which was more than ours. The Chinese side is responsible for booking air tickets for you, and there will be a piece of paper for your visa. Singapore's visa application is very fast, and it can be signed in a week or so. It's best to prepare early.

About preparation

In fact, you really don't need to bring anything in China. You need to bring some medicine, toilet water and mosquito repellent, and you must bring a good umbrella, because it rains almost every day in the rainy season there, so clothes are summer, so you don't need to bring shampoo and toothpaste. In fact, these things in Singapore are quite cheap, so there is no need to buy them home. They still occupy a lot of land.

There is China City in Singapore, where there is a Yuhua domestic product. Most snacks are sold in China, but there will be a tax increase, so it is more expensive than in China. However, there is no big ham in China.

Spicy Lamian Noodles is cheaper than home, O(∩_∩)O

Get everything ready and don't forget to change it into Singapore dollars for about a month. About 600 Singapore dollars is enough. It takes about 6-8 hours to fly to Changi Airport. I waited for my agent to pick me up at the airport. When you arrive, I will take you to the agency to sign a contract in Singapore, then arrange your accommodation, take you to the human resources department to apply for a permit, and go to the company to arrange your work.

About accommodation,

Due to the work culture, renting a house is very common in Singapore. The most common thing is that China people who go to work rent a house and then rent it to other workers, all in order to earn the rent difference, so they will rent as many people as possible. Generally, there are 4-6 people in a room, bunk beds, and boys and girls will live in the same house, which is very bad. Girls don't care because they have to share the kitchen, bathroom and washing machine. But this kind of house is the cheapest, about a little more than 200 Singapore dollars, and the water and electricity network is all inclusive, but the air-conditioned room is generally hopeless. Everyone usually buys an electric fan. This kind of house will have 2-4 people living in the living room, because the income is only a certain amount of money, but this kind of house is illegal. If someone reports it, everyone will be thrown out that day. Friends have met, because there are too many people, don't make too much noise at night, neighbor.

Most importantly, because no one knows each other, we should take good care of our belongings and lock the room.

At first, everyone had no money, so they usually lived in this kind of house. If they want to improve after working for a few months,

There is a lion city forum and a rental section. If you look there, the so-called good is that there are fewer people living, so the rent will be more expensive, about 300 dollars. Three or four people live in a room, and it will be turned on regularly at night with air conditioning. You can't adjust it yourself.

For Singaporeans, the best house is to rent out one or two rooms in the house where they live. This kind of house is the best. Generally, two or three people have a room, which is more than 300 dollars. Generally, boys are not needed, because the landlord will be inconvenient. This kind of house is generally not advertised in the lion city forum, and is managed by a formal housing agency, which is safer and more secure.

All leases require a one-month deposit. Everyone must know this. There is a receipt. When you want to check out, take the receipt and return the money to the landlord.

About work,

One advantage of Singapore is that you can jump ship, but don't think it's easy to find a job. Generally, people who publish articles in newspapers want Singapore citizens or PR, so if your job is not good and you want to change, you'd better look for a job while working. It is difficult to find a job directly in Singapore, and most of them still need an intermediary, but the cost will of course be cheaper than that in China. It's best not to jump ship easily. After all, you can't make money by changing jobs for three months.

WP License If you resign, the company will cancel your license (we all call it cut permit), your stay in Singapore is only 7 days, SP has one month, and so on.

There are many kinds of jobs. Boys are generally drivers, warehouses and offices. Good-looking, good English will be advanced. Everyone knows that to be a driver, you must get a Singapore driver's license when you come to Singapore. If you want to be a driver, you must first ask how the intermediary examination fee is calculated.

In fact, there are many kinds of jobs and a wide range, depending on everyone's ability and English level.

There are also permits above SP, and personal income tax is paid every year. I'll send a letter to remind you that I paid the money myself. This must be paid. If you don't pay, you can't leave the country if you want to go home.

About the triviality of life,

In fact, after a long time, the price in Singapore is ok. What is expensive is that the rent is very expensive, and food and clothing are actually quite cheap. I suggest you go shopping in Burgis. There are places like wholesale markets, which are very big, small shops and very cheap. Although Singapore is small, it is divided into small areas, and everything in each area is complete. Subway and bus use one card, and the one-time cost is about 0 dollars. It is better for everyone to find a house near their own company. Although a bus is not very expensive, don't spend it on unnecessary places if you can save it. I always look for a house near my company and walk 10 minutes.

The traffic is convenient and there are food stalls everywhere. Singapore calls this food (Bazaar). A meal is about $3.00 cheaper, and 10 is enough for ordinary people to eat for a day. If you want to eat well, you can find it in the mall. Buffet is the most affordable, barbecue and hot pot are about 20-30 dollars per person, which is enough.

About remittance

To work in Singapore, you must go to the bank to apply for a bank card. I suggest you apply for a bank card of Dahua Bank, because there are many ATMs, and you need a passport to apply for a bank card, and you also need to deposit 500- 1000 USD at one time. Therefore, don't forget to take this money with you when you apply for a bank card. If you want to send money home, you have to go to China, a Chinatown. Singaporeans call him "Chinatown". There are several remittance places, all of which are directly converted into RMB according to the real-time exchange rate. It's better to go for six days. The exchange rate will be higher. Another point is that the more money is remitted, the lower the exchange rate will be, which we should bear in mind.
