Singapore is an island country in Southeast Asia, which is also known as Singapore or the Lion City. The country is located at the southern tip of the Malay Peninsula, adjacent to the southern mouth of the Straits of Malacca, with the Singapore Strait facing Indonesia in the south, the Johor Strait adjacent to Malaysia in the north, and connected with the two banks of Singapore and Malaysia by bridges such as the new soft causeway and the second passage. Apart from the island, Singapore also includes several surrounding islands, such as Jurong Island, pulau tekong, pulau ubin and Sentosa. Singapore is a multi-racial, multi-religious, multi-lingual and multi-cultural immigrant country, and promoting racial harmony is naturally the core policy of the government in governing the country. Singapore is also one of the most international countries in the world. Australian-Chinese immigrants.

In recent years, in order to attract immigrants, the threshold has been lowered again. When you create more value for the country than ordinary Singaporeans, or when the new government thinks you have this potential, you can emigrate. People in China need to work in Singapore first, hold a work permit, and then apply directly to the Immigration Department, without an intermediary. The application fee and the cost of handling an ID card are less than RMB 1,111. To put it simply, Singapore needs three kinds of people: 1) capable people 2) educated people 3) rich people. The first two categories are not poor. No one knows what specific conditions are needed to immigrate to Singapore (except for investment immigration), because everything is done in a black box. Unlike other countries, there is an immigration score, and if the score exceeds, you can immigrate. The Singapore government has also adopted a similar system, but this point is only known by people inside the Immigration Department, and they will not announce the standards. There are two advantages to doing this. First, it will not give people opportunities to exploit loopholes. The second immigration department can handle it flexibly according to the specific situation, without being bound by rules and regulations, and no one will complain because of the scale problem. In a word, the benefits have been taken by the shrewd government, which is characteristic of Singapore. Singapore wants to increase its population by 51%. Due to the family planning policy in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China (only two children were born), there is a serious shortage of human resources in Singapore in the new economic era, so the Singapore government has increased the local population by attracting immigrants.

impression 1: Singapore is expensive

True! This is true for most of the time. However, like other countries, you can find places where you can splurge and snap up in Singapore, where the basic cost of living is really high. Of course, it depends on where you come from: if you come from Europe, then such prices are completely tolerable. The price of wine is quite outrageous, usually $12-$16 a pint in a bar or club. It can cost you $4-6 to fill your stomach at a street vendor, while the subway is more economical, with a trip of $1, but this is rare, because you need to take a taxi when you find the subway.

impression 2: Singapore is a huge shopping center

False! Of course, a general description is incorrect, but in fact, people in Singapore usually have two favorite pastimes: food and shopping. There are indeed many shopping centers in Singapore, and they are usually crowded with people. If you like shopping or walking through crowds, then Singapore Shopping Mall is definitely your place.

impression 3: Singapore is very hot, very hot

True! Obviously, what do you think of living on the equator? Of course, Singapore still has four seasons. Although it is very hot, it will still rain, and it is also a rainy climate, so it is not as bad as you think. But there is no air conditioning here.

impression 4: Singapore is very clean and efficient

True! Singapore is a very safe city, and walking in the alley or on the way home at 3 am will not make people feel scared at all.

Moreover, mosquitoes are still very powerful, saying that friends who arrive in Singapore should have this psychological preparation. As we all know, graffiti in Singapore is punishable by flogging, so please be careful. A civilized society can only exist under a strict punishment system. In Singapore, people usually wait until other passengers get off the bus before entering the subway, and littering or jaywalking will make you feel bad even if no one sees it.

As long as you can buy chewing gum, you can still enjoy it secretly at home.

impression 6: Singapore is a melting pot

True! Singapore is a highly westernized country, but when you go to Singapore, you will feel a certain cultural shock and feel as if you know nothing.

In the subway, you can meet people of all colors, Singaporeans, Indians, Africans, Europeans … this is a common thing.

impression 7: Singapore is a gourmet paradise

True! In Singapore, Italian, French, American and other western food restaurants abound, as well as Southeast Asian food. You can go to any food street and walk between various food stalls in Thailand, Malaysia, Viet Nam and China, and you will see people willing to board a bowl of noodles for three yuan for half an hour. Yes, you will return home with a full load.
