I'm planning to move to Singapore around May or June. I have so many questions and I'm not sure where to start from. A little bit about myself before I ask away.
I am Indian origin, 26yo male, I'm going to be paid roughly 6000sgd a month and my office is close to Robinson road. I am a vegetarian and would like to stay that way, if possible. I prefer to stay alone, even if it's a small house, but i think this is not possible anymore, at my budget. Now, for the questions.
- How should I plan looking for a rental? Looking around at the main Singapore reddit, I see that Indian origin workers seem to be facing a lot of issues looking for rentals . Is that true? Am I going to have a hard time because of my nationality?
- I live in an area where daily commute of 2 hours to and from office is very normal, so I don't mind commuting. This is not to say that I prefer commuting, just to say that I don't mind it. Is Singapore commute very hectic and/or expensive? Will I be able to afford a small house /studio by myself anywhere in Singapore within a range of 1000/1500 sgd if I am open to travel more?
- Regarding food and groceries, how much do you guys have to spend a month for groceries? If you eat out regularly, how much do you pay per meal?
5) Is an Aircon absolutely essential while looking for a rental? How much should i expect pay every month for electricity and any other utility? Is internet usually included in rent? If not, how much will a good 50mbps connection cost me per month?
I realise this is a barrage of questions and i thank you in advance if you are able to help me with any answers.
