Damn. So marrying a local is the only way for "ang moh".

By far the easiest route (In one of my guys case he married an Australian of Chinese heritage who had naturalised as Singaporean).

 

In 12 years I dated 2 "Native" Singaporeans & never again!

You can switch from Elite to LTR without issue.

Do you know anybody who's done that?

 

Normally if people want to change Visas they exit without a re-entry permit & their old Visa is voided but obviously with the Elite Visa you'll just come back on the same visa.

Seems the only peeps who knock the Elite visas are those that can’t afford one. Best thing I ever did. I have a few companies here and according to my accountant this has all yet to be thrashed out and god knows how long that will take.
Smart people get residency visa in Dubai then set up a company there and send all profits there 0 tax.

There again if you can’t afford to do that you’re going to have to move to Cambodia or cop it on the chin. Maybe you should have never moved here to begin with. Their country, their rules, their laws.

Go to the Elite Visa group on Facebook. 

Somebody just asked the question few days ago.

 

Go there and read the pop up windows.

It seems you can switch from any visas to LTR Visa BUT you cannot switch LTR to another type of visa.

People put out this kind of nonsense all the time but, if not supported by any legislation, it is not true.
