Re: High Interest Savings Account Opened in UK

Barclays are chumps, I remember you mentioning that they were going to pull the plug and I couldn't believe it. This is the first time across many continents that I have seen a bank ditch a customer...

Re: TIE - Passport Checks

Smith, I see your point, and TOURISTS from the UK should join the (sometimes long) immigration queue along with passengers who have just landed from South America or Morocco. No longer in the EU?...

Re: TIE - Passport Checks

Seems like you haven't been to too many airports around the world to understand what others are discussing.

I lived in Singapore for several years and when going through immigration control you...

Re: Tax situation when you work in SG but live in JB

At source for sure but usually also at your place of residence, which in this case would be Malaysia. But the Digital Nomad visa might have its own rules that treat you differently from a tax...

Re: TIE - Passport Checks

That is the case at many airports, even when flying via Helsinki for instance (my current airport of choice as I always seem to have good connection times there) it's good to have someone with an EU...

Re: ACRO or DBS for residency application

True, without a job in Spain he would need to prove he has the financial means to support his wife when applying for the "Family member of an EU citizen" card. Add to that private medical insurance....

Re: TIE - Passport Checks

It's not really supposed to be stamped, but some people obviously haven't had the training and/or knowledge to know that so they just automatically stamp everyone.

Re: ACRO or DBS for residency application

Any reason why you are not applying as a family member (in this case spouse) of an EU citizen? Only reason I can think of is that your husband isn't resident in Spain which would explain it.

Re: Working in Singapore

You can look on jobstreet.com.sg but it's very hard to find employment for someone that doesn't have the right to work in Singapore.

You basically need to find a company that wants to bring you to...

Re: Employment Pass expiring

First and foremost you need to have a prospective employer offer you a job contract, and then they (not you) arrange the S Pass (though of course they might use an agency for this).

Re: urgent help needed! 53 yr old Brit

Have you been offered a job in Singapore that doesn't qualify you for an EP but only for an S Pass? If the job offer is there and you have accepted it, then your employer will handle getting the S...

Re: GIBRALTAR 2024

Because Gib is trying to become part of the Schengen zone.

Re: GIBRALTAR 2024

Being part of the Schengen zone makes everyone's lives a lot easier. But that zone is the gateway to 29 European nations and needs to be secure.

If Gib wants to be part of that area then anyone...

Re: GIBRALTAR 2024

Spain should have 100% control of the border, I can't believe there are any negotiations to be had on this issue.

You want to be in the Schengen area? Then the EU and in this case Spain should...
