singapore ministry: An Australian helpdesk in Singapore ministry of manpower will help the visa application and approval process, making it easier for Australian businesspeople and their families to live and work in Singapore, and for Australian companies looking to deploy staff there, according to Nine News Australia. Engineers and accountants would have their qualifications recognised by Singapore, with these professions to be given priority in the formal negotiations. The prime ministers signed an update to the 2003 Singapore-Australia free trade agreement during a visit by the Singapore leader to Canberra on Thursday."This is a big win for our services sector delivering greater access for engineers, accountants, financial planners, lawyers and education providers to sell their services to Singapore," Mr Turnbull later told parliament. Singapore will also recognise Australian tertiary qualifications, including juris doctor degrees, as well as those in allied health such as physiotherapy, occupation and speech therapy, from a number of Australian universities. The updated pact will also guarantee the free flow of data across borders for service suppliers and investors conducting business. Finance firms will be able to provide a range of services on cross-border deals with Singapore.
