I worked as a nurse in Singapore for 7 years ... i like the food, people and environment. Singapore is a clean and green country. Sometimes i will finished work at 11pm and i can walk alone in the streets because there are lights everywhere and some establishments are still open. After work i will drop by to the mall to relax because most of MRT stations have nearby malls. I have met many friends from China, Myanmar, India, Malaysia, Vietnam, Pakistan and etc. And they have beed good to me. I migrated here in Australia last 2016 with my husband and sometimes i still miss Singapore. In Singapore i cannot bring my family because i am not a Permanent Resident but here in Australia i gave birth and can work while being with my famiy, but despite of that I AM VERY GRATEFUL until now to SINGAPORE which I considered my second home. Every country has its flaws and weaknesses like us people. Singapore and Australia or whichever country will be a good place to live if you know how to be grateful and live simply. God bless everyone❤❤❤

Getting a working pass in Singapore by starting your own business (with only plans) is literally impossible!! As there is no guarantee you can help SG’s economy and might just be a burden if you did not succeed. If you had joined someone else’s stable business, your chances of getting accepted is definitely much higher!

Singapore is a stressful place to live in unless you earn a lot of money.

So appreciate the sincere honesty here. Not only the disappointment but the doubt and resentment, and then working to overcome it. It's refreshing to see in the online community.

I'm sorry to hear that your application has been denied. TBH, it is quite obvious to me about why your application is rejected...(as a sgrean). The reason is probably the same worries that Daniel has. If you are worried about your finance, the ministry will probably be worried about it too if you choose to live here. It is not cheap to live in SG and they want to make sure that you have a steady income or financial ability to live here comfortably. Despite that, please do not give up on appealing to live here. We welcome everybody who wants to make SG a better place to live in :)

Don't worry. one window closes, another window opens. Opportunities are abundant. Stay positive and optimistic. And you will find a path to your dream. ;)

Cambridge University rejected me. I was so frustrated and sad. Oop forgot to tell you the reason.......My result did not meet their minimum criteria. So, please don't blame Cambridge.

Best wishes to both of you. 25 years ago, Canada rejected my application for PR, so I remained in Singapore which turned out to be ok. You guys are going to be ok too.

Awww I’m sorry that you guys got rejected :( you guys seem like a sweet couple! I just found your channel today. Good luck to the future and I hope wherever you end up that you’re happy! 😁❤️

Me a local Singaporean myself feels many of my rights hv been pulled back or totally cut off, be it on employment, financial, welfare etc.. Let alone you guys.. But i feel you though.. Because how hard you went thru, we locals endured 10x harder..

It looks you don't have permanent job,a permanent income.Trying to start a business is not having business. So in what criteria did you apply for citizenship or PRc.

i pray you 2 good luck and get accepted!Its its meant to be,it will happen.Staying in Singapore is gonna be extremely tough(im a singaporean and can tell for sure) and the working life (can be) torturous but if you still wanna come over no matter what,dont give up but mostly importantly,u 2 have to agree on this!Its your relationship together thats more important than getting into singapore :)

두분이 올린 영상을 보며 세계 여러나라의 문화를 간접 체험하고 있습니다.감사합니다.

We all love our plans but life is an explore and gets tough. You both seem to know how to hold on to one another and that will help you every time. Keep up the dreams and plans but be prepared to let life unfold a little by itself. My wife is Australian (Welsh/ Scottish background a way back), II was born in Australia, parents were post WWII refugees from southern China. We've been married 40 years and had 5 kids. Times weren't always smooth but it is about faith and hanging onto each other. I love your honesty, you feel like good people who have found the person to make the most of this life. Good luck.

having lived in new york prior to my move, i can honestly say that SG is competitive as hell(and i thought NY was bad) but they also party like mad on weekends. No doubt healthcare,goverment etc is top notch in Singapore, but it really is hectic and competitive. emphasis on the latter. as a newyorker, my first few months was a culture shock.

It is not easy running a business here, you have a beautiful relationship! Don't worry, I believe in the both of you! Keep hustling

@We The Kims, it's a blessing in disguise in this regard. I learned the hard way that living cost in Singapore is not cheaper (or at least the savvy alternative) than Vancouver (in reference to saving money). I do agree with you guys on wanting to start a business in SG but God has other plans for you two... there will be a better location for you guys to really save money and start a business elsewhere. Had I known that you guys sought help from consultants, I would have told you to not use their service and would recommend that you guys did it alone.

Misleading video title, Singaporean here but totally standing on a neutral point to understand your circumstances. It might be due to the lack of criteria and requirements met. Singapore did NOT reject you, the ministry did. Nevertheless, Singapore will always remain welcoming to you both anytime in the near future. Don't be afraid to try again. - Just my 2 cents worth of opinion -

So cool! What were you doing in egypt?

Patience you are newly begining life together as a solid family,Making these decisions will become a part of life cause your both very active in careers.. Good luck and keep posting these nice vids...

Can share what make up foundation are you wearing kim?

Kims, stay positive, there's always a positive side to every challenges or failures. You guys are awesome couple so long you work together towards common goal you will be fine :) Take care!

You both are welcome to Singapore!

So sorry to learn that your application to Singapore was rejected. Could be blessing in disguise. :) Do you know that the cost of living in Singapore is so high? And for the fourth year in a row, the Economist Intelligence Unit has declared Singapore the world’s priciest city. Household income of $15K is rated as below average. BUT does that means everyone who live in Singapore are rich? I dont think so. why? because I live in Singapore. I am not rich and we can still live comfortably here :) On the other hand, I have to admit that I love Singapore, simply because, this is a very safe place, stable government, multi-racial country, love the food - really amazing variety of food , stable and predicted weather, very clean country, very convenient and easy access to public transport. :) Btw, Kim, you have lived here some years ago, right? Then you should know the cost of living here... ;)

don't give up , keep trying and find out in what reasons that make your application fail. so adjust with it and do the appealing . you should be able to get through , god bless you .

Wish you guys all the best.

Hey, thank you for such honest sharing. I’m a Singapore but I’m completely new to you & therefore have no idea what exactly you were attempting to setup here. If you like, we could communicate via some private email. Happy to help if I can. But setting any enterprise in Singapore can be great and/or challenging. All the best guys.

Hey, wonderful humans! Rest assure it can actually be a blessing in disguise. The most important thing, is you two explore this short life together in unity, love, compassion, openness and acceptance for each other through thick and thin. Besides, life is too short for anything else that is transient. Anyone can go anytime in no time. You two just emits loving kindness for each other and it's just so heart warming and comforting to see how supportive and patient 2 humans can be for each other! Ah such envy! Best of luck to the both of you in life wherever you 2 go! Home is just where love is! It can be anywhere! And I bet as long as you two finds strength and support from each other, the rest does not matter! You 2 should procreate and fill this world with more love! :D Thank you for your presence in this turbulent world!

Love you guys

Rejection is part of the journey as humans, so appreciate and be grateful in good and bad time cos we learnt to be wiser and when good things are within our grasps, we know how to cherish it.

settle down. buy a house. pay your mortgage. love your wife. have kids. build a life. good luck

Sincerely hope for the best for you two. :)

Come to Malaysia, it is just 1 bridge distance, you can go in Singapore anytime you want.

Cute couple wish u the best for many many years to come...

Right now Singapore is very hard to get a work permit as there were new rules added about foreign workers , from what i heard. Im a singaporean and i really hope you could find happiness somewhere else! And come visit singapore for holiday!! Or to get accepted in singapore in the future!

Hi this is Cityducky aka Tiffani Kim from Bellingham, WA my husband and I watch you guys all the time and we enjoy watching you cause we thought we were the only mixed couple and we're so glad we found you guys! You warm up our hearts and you guys are in our thoughts and prayers and hope that everything works out for you guys for Singapore. You guys should come down to Bellingham sometime! :)))) P.S. we subscribed to you guys!

Don't give up guys! You be ok and don't worry! Cheer up

Best of luck to you~

It's really hard to do anything in Singapore. I even struggled to get into a poly in sg

Good girl! Stick to your man like glue and overcome together! When you did overcome, you will feel even more close to each other.. This is the period where we will truly learn about each other. Hope things are better now? Best wishes!

The grass is always greener on the other side. It took me over 32 years, and migrating (alone) from Singapore to Melbourne at age 20, to learn that the grass is green everywhere if i care to look for it.

Look into the Philippines, even as an interim destination. It's a good base to scout the entire region from.

Singapore is a comfortable country to live in. I'm Singaporean and never regret. Hope you can come too and keep trying.

I can understand what you are going thru. At certain point in your media career you need to reevaluate things. An dis very good that you guys are mature and balanced. You are taking the right step. You can remain doing your media work. But a little advise from someone who had a certain point in life, to make the same decision, always put your family stability first. Always.

Of course get rejection. Is not fair for Singaporeans. You cannot afford a home in Singapore.

Best Wishes to you both😁

I live in Singapore! I am not a traveler but I visit Bangkok sometimes

The man above have different plans for everyone. One door locked at the moment doesn't mean it can't be unlock later. With that said, onto the next adventures. Look forward to you guys videos every week. Kim is very a supportive wife. Daniel you found a "capable wife" as mention in Proverbs 31:10-31. Love you both.

We the Kims, You can come to Malaysia. Malaysia has many delicious food to eat such as: Nasi Lemak, Char Kuey Teow, Roti Canai and more.

Blessing in disguise. The cost of living for Expats in Singapore is really not easy without a big expatriate pay. From healthcare to education and especially housing, its not easy now for foreigners to come Singapore just to start up. At the same time, i believe that God knows our heart and its not a rejection of a dream but just God saying "Not yet, but soon so please wait...". I know this from my own experience the past year where my own life deviated so far from my dreams that i gave it all up and finally i just said "God i surrender all...whether i go or stay its up to you. I will just be thankful for wherever you place me and i submit my dreams to you". Fast forward till one month ago, an opportunity opened and in one month i have brought myself so much closer to my dream than i though could be possible by this time! So don't worry, continue to chase the dream and enjoy the winding journey to get there.

Seems like both of you have a sense of entitlement, moving to where you want to go, whenever, because you have a dream. What works for us? IT freelancer and ex-model, ask what can you contribute to the country you wish to "try-out" your online dream? It doesn't matter which city, KL, Taipei, SIN or Sri Lanka. Your title is disingenuous and your motive for this video report suspicious. However, I do not doubt your emotions. Grow up!

awwwww.... almost cried

This was a really sad video. I hope things are better now.

Couples always have differences in opinion , what makes every thing work is...first agree to disagree and then talk things out with each other

It is a blessing in disguise to get rejected by a straight jacket country. For the past five years, "bird people" in ASEAN migrated down south, especially to singapore. Those Singaporeans who tried to entrench others are now entrenched themselves. Many other Singaporeans travelled to find new retirement places and remained highly liquid. There is no loss to you

Im a singaporesn but i cant believe that singapore rejct you guys hope you guys continue what you doing

Come visit Brunei! But there’s nothing much here though

Support your man ! he tried but is worried about your future and your kids !

Singapore opened its door to foreigners started 10 years back, tens of thousands of foreigners got their approval to live here. But due to economic constraints and struggles, the door started closing up 5 years back, you guys are a bit late. But Dont worry we welcome you to try again. It's not only you, even foreigners who are living here struggled to get the stay. Do try again some time later

So sad, you were rejected by Singapore.

Sorry to hear that they rejected you. By the way, have you met the Singapore Government requirements? What do they require you to provide vs what can you provide? Singapore will not reject anyone if you meet the criteria. Can share with us which requirements were not met? Past business performance record? It is good to understand full story from both sides so that the audience will not be misled.

Get a job with more substances as a full time then re-apply your work permit in Singapore. You can always do that online work as part-time hobbies.

Its great that you didn't come to Singapore under those circumstances, it would have given you much more unexpected stress and seeing that both of you are on different pages in your communication, you definitely need more time to settle somewhere that doesn't end up a burden but the best country that might suit both of your needs.

Come to Scotland.We need ambitious young people like you.

Have you guys considered New Zealand or Australia?

It is unfortunate to acknowledge your application being rejected; however, I am optimistic about what the future has in store for you folks.

Good luck. I like the last line. Wherever you go, I'll go. Or if you stay, I'll stay too. Nice.

Hang in there I hope to see u guy in Singapore And I will say nothing more then the food is singapore is very very good

Wow you guys have been more places than I have. I've only been to 23 countries lol. Anyways don't sweat it there's always going to be opportunities where others close. Keep being amazing & live, love & learn. :b

hard to come by ep now a days for Singapore seems ministry have narrower criteria for now but cost of living is now comparatively cheaper than 1 or 2 years back. I found an 3 bed room sea facing rented house for 1400 sgd. But overall singapore is a great place to live and work in whole Asia.

It a blessing............

Hi guys, have you ever consider Bali? I believe it's fairly cheap compared living anywhere such as singapore or canada. Please check out place like Canggu in Bali, it''s a city bustling with activities and international communities.

Asian living in Egypt here too. Do share you stories from when you were here

You are not alone, There is a will, there will be a way.

May I know what is your specialisation? Singapore is a practical country. Your specialise must meet Singapore immigration requirements. Why not try to take up course in Singapore then apply again?

theres over 200 countries on this planet..so much options.

Why not Kuala Lumpur?

Getting a job as a foreigner in current Singapore is now tough, they really are tightening the quota for foreign workers. IT and engeenering are the demand jobs for foreigners in Singapore. I'm currently in SG on a vacation and even I is struggling on finding jobs here (even the minimum rate jobs) despite my good work experience.

Actually is hard to migrate to singapore is because you need to do alot of paper work from the Singaporean government to live there. Actually I'm from Philadelphia but I came to singapore last year for studying. My Singaporean friends told me that if you want to live in singapore you'll need to do paper works

How can i register for singapore citizenship??? Let me know dear friends

Singapore is perfect

it wil be much easier to move n live n eventually apply for a permanent resident status in Singapore if one get a job (tecchnical related skills is in huge demand now) offer here from one of the big corporate operating locally

You can start from Johor Baru, Malaysia. Thousands travel from Malaysia to Singapore to work daily. You might be surprise, Singaporean staying in Johor Baru and working in Singapore. That would be a better solution because cost of living in Johor Baru is much lower than in Vancouver or Singapore. Guess why Singaporean staying Malaysia and working in Singapore.

I ❤️ Singapore.

What did you guys want to do as business in Singapore?

My advice as someone who is born in Singapore is … get a job in Sg is easier to secure your employment pass for the move. Freelancers won’t get EP usually as alot end up competing jobs with the locals and the island is already very crowded. Next all the process is straight forward, you don’t need to pay biz consultants to do this.

Which consultant you engage? They are lousy. So far my consultancy never fail on clients. I made them move and get what they want.

It's ok , even though I am a kid the ministry will do something to help :)

Was wishing you guys could be here haha, the ratio of WMAF to AMWF here is like 10:1, was thinking maybe you guys can move to australia where its nearer to singapore.

Move to johor bahru. Its stable here. Good luck with your future plans.

the romance of flying the black flag but now you will strike your colours and return to the shore

Very good

Came to Taiwan

It’s okay the cost of living is too high you’ll won’t even be having this kind of house in Singapore... also if your driving in your country don’t even think about it in Singapore it’s extremely high and the car license is only for 10 years more over transport breaks down constantly in my country I think Thailand would be a better option though it’s not as save but I doubt it will be difficult to adapt

I feel so sorry for your rejection.

Life is an adventure, you can't preplan everything, no time for you to worry about everything. If you plan to find a job or work in Singapore, you will be able to survive, but its not going to be easy. Different stroke for different folks.

Come to Malaysia, way more cheaper than Spore.. The system, culture & environment is similar..

Singapore has precious little space and has to prioritize on those who can contribute the most. If you are concerned about money, moving to one of the most expensive cities in the world is not going to help - maybe they did you a favor!

You can really enjoy low cost of living if you are paid in Canadian dollars and spend in Thailand (for example) . So, you need to be an expatriate and your Canadian company transfer you to Thailand. If you are employed by Thailand company, paying in Thai Baht and Thai salary standard, you will find that the cost of living in Thailand is not cheap with your Thai salary.

Most likely Singapore will give you a working pass if your skills are needed to contribute here. It is based on meritocracy, which means even if u have relevant skills, you are in competitions with other similar applicants.
