Living in Singapore as an international student with family

Hi Raj, to begin with the basic that with S$4k it's very difficult to survive in a country like Singapore, which is termed as top 5 costliest cities in the world.

We have given enough evidence with details about this. You can check many topics related to this.

For a couple with a 9yrs child must have to earn at least $6k for their average life in SG. Here, house rent itself will cost you more than $2.1k if you r looking for 2+1 ( 2bhk) unit. Apart from house rent, your daily expenditure and if u cook all the day it may still requires $1000 per month and in top of that you have utility bill, telephone bill, interest n TV bill. Then, top of that your child's expenditure n school fee. Add all together, you will struggle a lot if you have planned to bring your family.

I'm not sure if you can allow to bring ur family with stipend $4k, as for MoM only salaried employees who has basic income above $5k r entitled/ allowed to bring their family. Good luck
