    I'm a bit confused. If you have your own business did you need to apply for the EntrePass first and then the Epass to be hired under the company? In that case, you would need to hire Singaporeans, make a certain amount of profit etc. for your company?

      @@Swizzyinsg General rule of thumb in Singapore is that jobs that do not require very high qualification are (when open to foreigners) not open to the whole world but just to the nearby countries…there are always exceptions… it is usually harder to get an S Pass than an Employment Pass for a non Asian ! more competition for lower paid jobs…

      I don't think it is "almost never". So far as I am aware, there does not exist a single case.

    As a white girl from Switzerland, why go through all this trouble to move to an overexpensive, unaffordable, humid, tiny, boring, government dominated city?

    Downvoted, because of your other video complaining about your difficulties in securing a work visa. I like most of your videos.
    But no shit, lady!!! Getting a EP without a job offer from a local company is difficult as hell. No wonder you faced so much resistence and issues from the Labour Ministry.
