Why Doctors work in Singapore?

Jobs in Singapore

Of last year new jobs, nearly half went to foreigners who make up almost a third of Singapore’s work force. Government is said to be taking steps to encourage its migrant workers to stay at their jobs, including the “foreign talents” who are highly educated and skilled expats from the overseas countries. The Singapore government is gathering more talents in its expanded Healthcare Industry. That means more Doctors and Specialists.

Moving to Singapore

If you live about 30 minutes away from the center of the city, you can get a three bedroom condominium for $1,300 to $3,000 a month or a room for $400 to $750 a month in the same area. Your children can have access to excellent education facilities at both local and international schools up to the university level. You will find that purchasing and maintaining your own car is quite expensive. The alternative is an efficient and cheap public transport system that covers the whole of Singapore, or to take taxis (quite cheap) and rent a car for special occasions.

Salaries and Benefits in Singapore

An accountant can earn an average of US$60,000 while a financial analyst can earn almost US$79,000 a year. A doctor/specialist can earn up USD 350,000 or more a year. Singapore has a five½ workday and 44-hour workweek. Employees receive a fourteen to twenty one day vacation leave for the first year of service and two-three weeks leave and paid sick leave. Salaries of expats are usually competitive especially with an additional package of transportation, housing, education, entertainment and child care allowances plus partial subsidies for dental and medical insurance.

Local Taxes in Singapore
Foreign workers who have a work visa or employment permit are usually taxed. Singapore taxes are rather low compared to taxes in Europe and the US. Income tax is about 12-15% and value added tax is about 5%. In fact, personal income tax rates are among the lowest in the world. A foreigner is classified as a tax resident when he has lived in Singapore for 183 days in a year or for three years running.
