You need to shoot with a loaded gun or else it will give a false impression on the info that you have posted
It is true that the RRV situation has eroded the PR status in Australia somewhat. However it is far more realistic to stay in Australia forever without an RRV than it is to stay in Singapore with an expired REP.
I am an Ozzie and what you said does not hold water
Show ME and only ME how does RRV eroded PR status in Oz
How can you stay in OZ permanently w/o RRV although the PR is indefinite.
I want YOU to show me the link to this statement.
The only country that I know of that PR is indefinite after the 2 or 5 years of limited travel under section 18a is NZ. Even that Pr holders need to come back every year for a month to show NZ Immigration so that you do not lose your resident permit
If you do not know what you are talking about then you have to stay OFFSHORE
I just saw your rather rude response MS!
Aussie PR will never be cancelled because you lead a union of airlines pilots (or any other public office that pushes against the ruling party) - Singapore PR can and has been.
Aussie PR will never be cancelled because you are politically active - Singapore PR can be and has been.
Aussie PR will never be cancelled because you don't have a job or income - Singapore REP will not be renewed in this case.
Yes, you can stay in either Singapore or Australia as a PR as long as you want without either a REP or RRV provided you don't need to leave the country. However in Australia - a country roughly 1000 times the size of Singapore and with 6 times the population - I think you'd have a better long term life without ever leaving the country. PR in Singapore is just a weird long term visa that is no coupled to your working life. PR in Australia is a genuine effort to bring you into Australian society.
HOWEVER - at the end of the day - both countries PR value has been deeply eroded by abuse - people applying without genuine intentions and collecting PR's as though that makes them a better person or using PR as a stepping stone to the USA or other places. Hence the tightening up on RRV and REP.
