Singapore: The Perfect Place To Work And Start Your Business

Recently I was contacted by a Singaporean company, One Visa, asking if they could provide me with a guest blog post about Singapore. When this happens I usually tell the company that I'll consider it, but the content should not sound too corporate and it must actually be useful for someone wanting to live and work in another country. I have previously rejected other guest blog posts for not meeting these guidelines. I have not asked for or received compensation for this guest post.
