Do u need to have vaccination to work there?

I’m going to start my work in Singapore in May. It’s very nice to see this! Notes taken😍😍😍

you are seriously helpful. Moving to Singapore in the summer. just a little stressed!

Great videos and it really helps other people who plans to move to Sing. Really love your videos. Thanks a lot!

Transferring driver license would also be helpful.

😘

Is identity theft a concern with the Singpass?

😮

Sherry, I am also in Canada. Did you change your citizenship? Or what kind of visa did you get and how long does it last?

Cool, I am planing to visit Singapore soon

Thank you much! So organized, I feel less scared about uprooting myself. Singapore sounds like such an amazing place. I miss the teh! lol I didn't know the trick about reserving your seat with a packet of tissues. Does no one try to steal your seat? That is amazing

😊

Moving to SG in the fall for work, thanks for such an informative video!

Looking for condos near Solaris or Queenstown. Coming there in June end.

Thanks

❤Your channel is literally my comfort place. You make me so happy. Love you❤

Lovede the content. Very much disliked the pling sounds.

This is Super Great Info! As a real estate agent, my clients are often clueless with what they need to prepare before moving here to work! Their HR never tells them the whole story. So I will definitely forward this my clients.

Thank youuuu! And this is super helpful! Moving to Singapore in June and I only have a week to settle before starting mg néw job. Fingers crossed!

You’re Canadian?

Great tips. Bookmarking in hope next year there is opportunity for an assignment....
On a side note, I'd like to add chum (or yin yang) to the kopi list. It's coffee / tea combined and is really good.

Thanks for the interesting video. Regarding the steps 3 & 4 you can speed-safe them by a WISE account in advance

What work permit do you use?

Great tips! Looking forward to use them soon!

sherry, can I ask you what motivates you to work hard at your jobs? how do you deal with all the stress from work?

NIce. But can you change the background music on your appartment search please? It felt like a combination of a visit to the dentist waiting room and a horror movie ... something lighter perhaps?

Can you get a singpass as a traveller/tourist ? Cheers

You can maybe recommend some nice coffee shops too!

Thanks. Your info was super helpful. I moved here two months ago.

I am Singaporean, been living in canada for 9 years and am moving back to Singapore in 2022, as a Singaporean moving back, this is SUCH a great helpful video 😂😂

I love Singapore. I wished that I can live and work there. But I feel it is so highly competitive and many smart people that it is just like HK. Besides the hot weather there. I love how clean and nice it is there. Singapore reminds me like 3 countries in one tiny island. While I was traveling solo there I attended the largest church there and was able to make some friends there. I met this girl that was going to church on a Sat afternoon I asked her if she knows where this church was located and directed me there. We worshipped and boy I can't believe how long the service is. It is 2 plus hours almost 3 hours long. The worship alone is 1 hour, the preaching is 1 hour. After that the girl introduced me to her friends at their fellowship. We had dinner and showed me some downtown areas. I felt like a dumb average person. They are so smart. They all worked in financial areas that is over my head. I am in IT but I tried to keep the conservation going. Their English is somewhat difficult to understand. They were speaking to one another and I asked what language they were speaking and they said English and I can't even hear it. Well I had to be more talkative to get over my shyness as I am very quiet. I am very shy to meet people so I have to force myself to talk to strangers. Each country I traveled to HK and Thailand I tried to make new friends. It is nice to travel solo as I don't need to wait for the other person vice versa.

Having been in Singapore a couple times, I noticed there are some Canadian banks there. Do they offer Singaporean accounts?

Sherry can you speak faster 🤠🤓 new sub is there such a long term low budget accommodation in Singapore, if can make video accommodation prices would be helpful thanks in advance.

Hi my name is Saloni, I am currently studying MBA in Singapore which I am soon to complete I have a past record in Sales & marketing! Kindly let me know if any of your companies wanting to hire a sales or marketing associate that would be so much helpful please

Great video. I visited Singapore in early 2020 and really enjoyed it. Safe, clean, predictable and all of that with super tasty food.

👍✅🤓✅👍

broadband - i was a bit shocked to learn about the activation and installation charges , together about SGD 130

Bank account - for people transfer in under the employment of MNC, can simply request a letter from HR before getting EP card / SingPass.

Singpass part - heard u have to have an residential address, which some people who transfer in, and stays in serv apt/ hotel. Its gonna take another month or so to get.

thought EP card gotta be sent to office address. Any EP holder having an issue date printed differently between the card and the doc ?

wish u had made this vid 2 month ago, i had been thru all these myself.

Wonderful information and fantastic video. Thankyou 🙏🏼

I had DBS and then opened another with OCBC. DBS is too popular and their ATMs often have longer queues 😂

Sherry.... U missed some thing in your video!!!! You forgot to tell new comers about SINGLISH!!!

Thanks for the information! Especially the Kopi-flavour distinction graph will save me a lot of time when ordering Kopi! Thanks, Sherry!

Great content. Thanks for giving Singapore so much positive feedback.
Hope all those that intend to move here to work and stay, will not keep their hopes too high. Singapore is a lovely country but there still many areas that need improvement. Especially the peoples.
End of the day, I am still proud to be a Singaporean.
