[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The return schedule and spouse employment are key issues here. Moving back to US with 11th or 12th grader will be really difficult for high school graduation and college applications. Private school tuition is 40k per year and there aren’t enough spots for all international students. Most schools run waitlists.

And it is really, really difficult to find employment in Singapore as a trailing spouse. Companies have to prove that no local citizens can do the job in order to hire expat. The required salary for work permit is also age dependent, the older you are the more you need to make to get work permit. There are no part time jobs available to expats outside of possibly substitute teaching. And those are subject to quotas of expats to local citizens.[/quote]

Obviously lots of things to consider. Would probably be best to stay until oldest graduates and then return for the younger 2 to do hs in the US. Would spouse be able to work remotely for a US company or is that restricted in some way?[/quote]
