Calling all Internet Marketers in Singapore!
On a trip out to Asia, I grew to like Bangkok, but absolutely fell in LOVE with Singapore. It's probably the coolest place I've ever been to.
Maybe I'm weird, I hear most people like Bangkok a lot more.
As an American citizen I'm trying to get in for the intermediate term, maybe long term. There's obviously a way, as about 1/3 of the country are foreigners. But for someone with an online income, it doesn't seem as easy to get in anymore.
- Entrepreneur visa: Based on feedback, nowadays you must have venture capital funding or work in a high desirability tech industry to get the pass. ( EntrePass - Before you apply - Ministry of Manpower ).
- Global investor visa: Requires a star track record and at least one business with $50 million in annual turnover. Definitely not made with IMers in mind!
- The only real options I see are: 1) Buy a business and then get into the country through an employment pass by employing yourself as an executive/director. 2)bFind someone willing to "employee you" while you figure a way to pay him back for his trouble.
I'm hoping there's something easier than that, like the one year educational visas you can get in Thailand.
Do any foreigners here live in Singapore? What kind of visa did you get?
