From 1 January 2027 it becomes S$11,500. The increase applies to new applications from that date; an application lodged by 31 December 2026 is assessed against the current, lower table. Thresholds are also assessed on fixed monthly salary \u2014 bonus, LTIP and variable allowances do not count, which at this level is where packages usually fall short despite a large headline number. We ran his actual fixed component against the table and set the submission date accordingly.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Outcome<\/strong>Application submitted in early December, assessed on the S$10,700 table, approved before the change took effect. His package was restructured to shift S$800 a month from bonus into fixed pay \u2014 a change to the shape of the package, not its cost.<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Relocation \u00b7 Singapore \u00b7 Senior appointment<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[44,5],"tags":[68],"class_list":["post-624","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-client-case-studies","category-singapore-relocation","tag-united-kingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/xinran-international.com\/cn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/624","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/xinran-international.com\/cn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/xinran-international.com\/cn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/xinran-international.com\/cn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/xinran-international.com\/cn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=624"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/xinran-international.com\/cn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/624\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":896,"href":"https:\/\/xinran-international.com\/cn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/624\/revisions\/896"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/xinran-international.com\/cn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=624"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/xinran-international.com\/cn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=624"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/xinran-international.com\/cn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=624"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
