Default General psychiatry vs geriatric psychiatry.

Hello,

I'm just starting in residency in USA but my girlfriend is in Singapore and I want to look into moving to Singapore in 4 or 5 years. I have a few questions.

1) If I am board certified in Psychiatry by American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology will I be able to go directly to full registration?

2) Would i benefit from a significant salary boost if I do one year of geriatric fellowship in US vs going to Singapore with just an adult psychiatry residency background.

3) How many years would I be required to work in the public before allowed to work in the private sector?

Thanks for reading and for your input.
