Enrol her at British Council for English Language course. Should be able to get student pass.

British Council is extremely expensive in singapore. not affordable at all to an average earner. I explored this option few years back. Can try other language school.

However, British Council in BKK is pretty affordable. Even if factor in monthly apartment rental would not kill us.

Get those smaller English school la, cheaper and easier. If choose British Council, that bro will get `pocket cancer' It doesn't mean that if he goes for bigger school, it will be easier to get student pass. Student pass approval is based on the applicant's capability to convince ICA that she has the financial and academic capability to complete the course. But of course, other factors play a role too

Sorry to divert, I got some problems hope bro here can provide some guidances. My sister-in-law come to sillypore today, ICA officer call me later to
verify her particulars and purpose of this trip and my address. He told me whether I'll be her sponsor. I say yes.
My question is will I get into trouble if she Kenna caught in the raid (she been working as WL before)? My wife told me she is not staying with us but put my home address in the arrival declaration form. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks.

small issue ...in the event something happen, just say that your wife and her had some argument and then she move to stay with her friends ....

Thanks for all the advices. Because my wife did not see her for quite some time. Naturally she is anxious to see her in sillypore, so I relented.

so the question is "are you sure you wanted to marry such a ger with such complicated family background...oso buy 1 get 1 free"...do you know there are so many gers and choices in Wetnam...cum with me...let me show you many nice pretty and unmarried ger waiting for you there...hihi...

hmm sometime I also got this feel but she is truthfully in everything she say & do.. so far after the 3rd months onwards, what ever she do, she will chat & let me know but of course, she expect me to do the same.. Thats the most headache part sometime..

She did mention she don mind if we happen to settle down, at vietnam for good, she is fine too.

Hmm bro hurricane, when u going up to wetnam again? maybe can settle with u to see those first hand car...lolz

Despite understanding them well, they also spring a surprise or two to the mix.

Basically, for those whom intend to marry a vb. the key is to know her family background as they will make or break your relationship more than your relationship with her. in all words, they are always fiercely loyal to their family.

Make sure your girl or her family are not gamblers, you will spend time clearing 1 debts after another......

this is the reason why I had few by my side till today.

Bro lament,

Truely agree for what you said.Notice vn ppl love to gamble alot & talk big when sometimes they own pocket don't even have 1 mil dong with them. Sometime do envy some bros here , whom can have almost all the gals in vn anytime as they are situated or working in their HQ gal country compare to singapore are only a sub sub branch. Anyone got job vacancy in vietnam for me....he.e

For my case, she gamble in the past but have stop after burning a hole in herself. I also did trigger to her, if she want to again then is fine...to each own for good

Another thing i discover when I am over there for couple of times to their nightlife, vietnamese youngster kinda hopeless regardsless guys or girls..they take drugs. haiz...

Many bros here yearn to get a job in Vietnam, but in reality, if you are employed on local terms there, you may have difficulty trying to live a reasonable lifestyle and your life will be very much like the locals. Not long back, one of my friend in HCMC, was telling me to help him look for a singaporean with 15 years of experience. This friend of mine is the CEO of a large vietnamese group of companies, but after looking at the terms offered , i told him that its seriously difficult to get someone with the calibre they want with that sort of pay. US$3000 a month with another US$500 of housing subsidy. No transport allowances and no other allowances, salary still subject to income tax. I was telling him its tough with such package with the calibre they are looking for. Finally after 2 months, he told me they got a 46 year old American who has been unemployed in US for around 2 years. Staying in HCMC is not cheap nowadays, from housing to daily expenses, they are not far away from Singapore. Best is to be posted by Singapore company to Vietnam as expat, maybe perks and benefits will be better.

[Golden question]

remember read a news recently that viet govertment intend to increase civil servant pay due to super high inflation,double digit of around 14%,to help the people there cope with the high cost of living there

but guess what!is only $50 us dollar increase per month for them and most civil servant there take undertable money as a souce of income for them.

is tough for normal folks over there.they pay peanuts for job over there and in reality sg people who want to go there to a job there will also pay peanuts unless send by sg company to there

kinda agree.. recently got a company asking me to do research to setup a sales office in vn.

after discussing on my salary package.. They offered me $3.5k sgd per mth, hosuing rental they settle full, a year back to sing twice by SQ, cpf contribute.. That's all. I ponder awhile to find issit worth while. after bro singviet mention, maybe my package even sux more big time. lolz
