Why People Are Moving to Singapore?
Thanks to its strong economy, excellent healthcare, and superb education system, Singapore has become a popular destination for US citizens seeking new opportunities.
It's also safe for families with low crime rates and a blend of modernity and traditional values. There are great opportunities for US citizens and other foreign expats, with many jobs in finance, tourism, science and technology, trade and engineering, and heavy industry.
Singaporeans take education very seriously, and their education system is currently ranked as the 11th best in the world. Schools in Singapore typically teach in English, and the lifestyle blends Asian and European cultures, managing to feature the best of both.
Also, much of Singapore's population comprises foreigners who make the most of the opportunities. Hence, it's easy to fit in, and Singaporeans are friendly and welcoming.
Moving to Singapore: What You Need to Know
As a premier international moving company with over 30 years of experience, Oz Moving & Storage understands the excitement and potential challenges of relocating to a vibrant destination like Singapore. Singapore offers a wealth of opportunities for expats, but there are some key points to consider:
Requirements
Various types of work passes are available when moving to Singapore for employment. Singapore does not use a points-based system for entry. Instead, they offer a few relatively straightforward Singapore visa options, which they refer to as passes. Types of passes include the Employment Pass (high-skilled professionals), ‘S’ Pass (for skilled workers that do not fit the criteria for Employment Pass), Work Holiday Pass, and Entrepreneur Pass.
The Singapore Ministry of Manpower website details all the individual pass requirements. If you're considering long-term work in Singapore, then obtaining a Permanent Residency (PR) will likely be required. Several residency schemes offer a clear path for professionals and skilled workers to get Permanent Residency. The main criteria include having an employment pass and a job in Singapore.
Living costs
Singapore offers a genuinely incredible standard of living and is one of the most sought-after countries for expats. The wages are high, and there are great opportunities for career advancement.
However, this is costly, as Singapore has a comparatively high cost of living compared to most parts of the world. But of course, NYC residents are all too familiar with high living costs, and they will find most things, with a few exceptions, are much cheaper in Singapore.
Car ownership and gas prices are exceptions to the rule and are very expensive. The high costs associated with car ownership are likely because Singapore is a city-state and has created an excellent public transportation network. No need or space exists for every resident to own a vehicle.
The relatively small size of Singapore also accounts for the other exception, property ownership. Real Estate in Singapore is even more expensive than New York City. But the good news is apartment rentals are around 30-40% cheaper. Overall, the cost of living in Singapore is typically 30% less than in NYC.
