Hi guys, I've been browsing on the forum about EP applications and couldn't find similar cases to mine so I wanted to post a topic to seek for more information and also for people to look up later on!
My basic information:
- Age: 24
- Qualification: None
- Nationality: Vietnamese
What makes my case a bit different:
- I own and run (full-time) a US LLC for over 4 years, and wanted to move everything to SG (both for personal and business reasons).
- I've incorporated a SG company. I'm the sole Shareholder and a Director of the SG company.
- The company's annual revenue is 1.7M USD (~2.3M SGD) and has 4 full-time staffs (no SG locals yet, but we are open to employ locals).
- My salary: 15k USD (~20k SGD).
Questions:
- What is the approval rate if I apply for an EP? I'm asking because I do not have any qualifications and EP application requires verifiable qualifications/degrees, I do only have over 4 years of experience which is from the company that I currently own since 20 years old - which is why I don't have a university degree as I decided to run the business full-time.
- The only upside I have is the high salary, however there seems to be a "conflict in interest" as I'm the owner which could have paid myself any amount, would there be an issue?
- Are there any benefits if we use an agency to apply EP on our behalf? Or should we just apply directly on MoM portal?
Thank you for taking the time and reading my post! Any inputs are highly appreciated.
