No, your girlfriend needs to qualify for a Schengen visa. Agents cannot help you. They have zero influence on Schengen applications.

Withholding tax on interest, standard 15%. No you do not have a TIN.

Section 2(1) of the Singapore Income Tax Act 1947 (“ITA”) provides the definition of “resident in

Singapore” as follows:-

“resident in Singapore” —

a) in relation to an individual, means a person who, in the year preceding the year of assessment,

resides in Singapore except for such temporary absences therefrom as may be reasonable and not

inconsistent with a claim by such person to be resident in Singapore, and includes a person who

is physically present or who exercises an employment (other than as a director of a company) in

Singapore for 183 days or more during the year preceding the year of assessment; and

b) in relation to a company or body of persons, means a company or body of persons the control and

management of whose business is exercised in Singapore.

For an individual to be regarded as a tax resident, he has to satisfy at least one of the following tests:

1) Quantitative Test

The individual is:

a. Physically present in Singapore for at least 183 days in the calendar year preceding the year of

assessment; or

b. Exercises an employment in Singapore for at least 183 days in the calendar year preceding the

year of assessment (excluding directors of a company)

2) Qualitative Test

The individual must reside in Singapore and that his absence from Singapore must be temporary and

reasonable.

@Claudia *********

my point is be aware of the residency rules because at some point on the DTV you will no longer qualify as tax resident of Singapore.

@Sean *********

and your point is?

Your question is nonsensical, why would you pay tax after retirement? What amount of income triggers taxes? What is alot compared to a moderate amount? Please be more precise to get a relevant answer to your question.
