Guest Guest123 Posted July 11, 2011 Report Share Posted July 11, 2011 Hi I seek some serious advice about bringing my prospectus 'husband' to Singapore.If I ( being a Singaporean, served my country with NS, good citizen with clean records and doing my part contributing to our economy, pay my taxes diligently , have voting rights and taking care of my eldely parents etc ) married my boy friend who is a foreigner at New York or other Countries where gay couples can be legally married, will ICA grant me a depandant pass to allow my ' husband ' to reside with me in Singapore ?Talking about equal rights regardless of gender , sexual orientation by our Government, do I have such right like the other straight Singaporeans or PRs or even foreigners who are holding an EP?

abang Posted July 11, 2011 Report Share Posted July 11, 2011 Reality hurts..Your bf can only stay in Singapore if he is gainfully employable..which means he has a skill that is worthwhile .. think foreign talent.Of course, he should have at the very least a college/MBA education to boost his chances of staying here with you.Otherwise, I really dont think a gay marriage certificate means anything to ICA/MOM!

evianguy Posted July 11, 2011 Report Share Posted July 11, 2011 (edited) Gay marriage certificate is not recognized in Singapore. No spousal rights will be accorded to your husband.

Your "husband" will only be granted residency in Singapore unless he has some skills or can find employment here. Otherwise, he may visit Singapore on a social visit pass. Gay people in Singapore will never be granted equal rights like straight people even though you have contributed to Singapore and have a clean record Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doncoin Posted July 12, 2011 Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 I have to agree with everyone's feedback here. Also if you look at our national pledge. It says "Regardless of race, language or religion..." sexual orientation is not covered unfortunately. Just move over to where he is versus bringing him to Singapore. It may be easier. Love.

It may be easier.what u said make sense ... being a Singaporean, I know that there is no point fighting for one's right etc , it's just a waste of time and energy ; the end result is still a ' no ' from the authority, that's how things are here. I remember an elected minister had said that he wanted to help 'every' singaporean to realise his dreams of building an ideal home etc etc , but of-course , he can never take care of the minority needs for 'people like us'.

Guest Your Honor Posted July 12, 2011 Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 fat chance! you are asking too much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doncoin Posted July 12, 2011 Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 fat chance! you are asking too much!I don't think it is asking for too much. It is just that mentally, Singapore society is not quite ready for LGBT rights in this generation. Maybe the next generation things may progress further. We've seen often the argument is that there are many conservative people in Singapore. It is easier to change yourself than to change others. Hence I suggested moving out of Singapore versus staying local. There are pros and cons. You just got to decide what is important to you. Love.

oralb Posted July 13, 2011 Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 same sex unions, be it legally issued overseas, are not recognized here. You can sign him up for social passes, or employment passes if he can find a job here. When I Think It, I Do It, I Win It! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
