Looking to move to Singapore from the UK for a consulting role, is there a preference to recruit local talent at AM / M level or are visa sponsorships easy to process?

Short answer: local talent always gets preference at all levels. EP visas have become much harder to secure. Stricter scrutiny has been implemented to ensure that companies are actually looking for local talent for open roles rather than hiring foreigners.

Thanks I’ve DM’d

Not just a preference but a legal requirement to prioritise local talent for every role under $23K. There are still plenty of EP's being approved, though for high-quality talent. In consulting would need to be niche sector but relevant to local market priorities....
