Moving to Singapore

Start spending more time to go through the existing threads in Singapore forum. Top of that, there is a special thread can be seen in top highlighted threads list with subject name “10 job sites...” is a special thread tells you on how to search a job in Singapore.

Your specialisation and skills must be in demand and locals are not able to fulfill the demand. With waitress or receptionist, chances are very unlikely that a company needs a foreigner (other than Chinese, Malay and Indians who occupies 99% of these jobs here). So, an African chances are very slim. Even you get hired by an employer, then getting work pass is another big challenge.

If you are coming with your fiancée then be prepared to know that this is one of costliest city in the world. You should carry enough money (cash and your international debit card & credit card) or else you will be running out of your money in few days. You must have an accommodation address and return ticket (should be within 30 days) with you or else at immigration checkpoint you will be denied to enter Singapore and will be deported back to your country. Good luck

Note: Dont be desperate, nobody will give you job. It’s you who will search and find. Avoid sending private message to us.

Thanks you for the reply ..
At least it is good to know more before stepping out of ones country .
What kinda jobs are available for foriegners especially Africans ...

I would guess that apart from needing lots of savings to get you by, that unless you are highly educated with valuable experience that finding a job could be rather difficult. What fields are you experienced in?

Sales and marketing
Secretarial duties
Supervisor job
Team leader


These are my fields .
Thanks

The thing is, what you have to offer is no different to what so many people can already do in Singapore, I mean no special skills or knowledge that sets you apart from all the others. I am not aware of any jobs that available to foreigners, especially to Africans. I think you will need to do a lot of researching and applying and also that it will not be easy. The other thing to mention is that even though you are from Ghana, unfortunately Nigerians have given a bad reputation to Africans through their scams and illegal activity. I am not sure why you are only seeking work in Singapore but perhaps you should expand your search to other Asian countries.
