Hi, i m new to the forum.
I am interested in applying LPR in singapore, viewing to get PR later on. Anyone has experience, or known someone who is holding LPR in Singapore?, Below is a briefinfo about me.
(1)42 yr old, studied and earned MBA from Australia in 2002
Give yourself two year exact before you reapply again. 2 years is the standard.
Same goes to your GF.. There are many rejections recently
Be patient as this is NOT the good time to apply for PR with the election looming
MS
When do you think would be a better time to apply? I'm a SPR, living and working in Singapore for 2 years now. Recently I sponsored my husband's PR application but he got rejected. My husband is currently not residing in Singapore. Is this one of the reasons why his application was rejected? We want him to relocate to Singapore as soon as possible but it seems so difficult to get a job in his field (he's a financial consultant for Overseas Development Agency projects). So many jobs require PR status. Do you have any advice for us? Many thanks.
Bring him over on a LTVP. Until he finds a job, his chances of PR are downright slim. At least on an LTVP he will be able to wear down shoe leather and might eventually secure employment. Although, without suitable qualification it might be hard, but he'll have a better chance if he's here. _________________ . . . .Click here for >>> Helpful Links and Resources For Expats in Singapore

Question I would ask
How long you been married for?
In which country is your Husband from? (might be obvious I know)
Sorry for this late reply - I've been away for 2 months.
Re your questions:
-We've been married for over one year
-We're both from Vietnam
-My husband is currently working as a financial consultant/ specialist in Hanoi. He got a MBA from University of Hawaii but his undergrad qualification is granted by Vietnam.
@sundaymorningstaple: Thanks for your advice. We've been searching for a job for a while now but it seems so hard cause all good ones are intended for citizens & PRs -not sure if he'll stand a better chance if he's on a LTVP?

SMS has asked your husband to be on a LTSVP because it will give him a longer Visa for him to seek a job in Singapore while residing with you in Singapore. That is the only reason asking him to be on a LTSVP.
If he has good experience and degree he should be able to get a decent job here but securing an EP from MOM might not be so easy. (His new employer must be able to justify to MOM the need for hiring him rather than a local talent).
For LTSVP approval you have to show documents to the ICA that you can support him financially.
Sorry for bumping up this old thread. I have a quick question regarding NOA and PR application.
As we already know, ideally, one should have 3 NOAs to be considered for PR application but what if an applicant has 3 NOAs (from 2 employments) but two of them is not liable for income tax (due to the 183-day rule at time of filing for each YA)?
Does it have any implication on PR approval?
Or should one wait to have 3 NOAs which are liable for income tax instead before considering to apply for better chances?
I find this rather interesting as I have not met anyone in this situation. Tried looking for threads that discussed it (and also ICA's website) but I couldn't find so if you guys know of any, please point me to that direction. Thanks!
Note: I am one step closer in contacting ICA, just to throw that question about such NOAs, if let's say we have no solid answer about it. _________________ scratched by the lynx
NOA doesn't necessarily have to have a tax liability. Just three tax years. In theory you could well be here for only 26~27 months years but span three tax years. _________________ . . . .Click here for >>> Helpful Links and Resources For Expats in Singapore
