Answer this Question

When we asked people what advice they would give someone preparing to move to Singapore, they said...

"Before moving to Singapore, expats should be aware of the cost of living, which is generally higher than in many other countries. Additionally, Singapore is a multi-cultural society, so it is important to be respectful of the different cultures and religions that are present. Expats should also be aware of the laws and regulations in Singapore, such as the need to obtain a work permit if they plan to work in the country. Furthermore, expats should research the different neighborhoods in Singapore to find the best fit for their lifestyle.

"Choose a place that's reasonably close to both your work and your kids' school. Depending on whether you drive a car or take the MRT, adjust accordingly. Either way, the objective is to keep travel time to a minimum, especially for the kids. Second, try to find a place that's not too noisy or too hot. Facing away from both the sun and traffic is ideal. Find a reliable agent, preferably through a reference, because a good agent can save you lots of time and plenty of frustration," remarked another expat who made the move to Singapore, Singapore.
