One thing is guaranteed .... you wont get PR if you don't apply.Night_Owl wrote:Hello Guys,
I have been following this forum for quite some time but this is my first post !
It is quite difficult to evaluate PR chances when talking to agencies as everybody is claiming 90% success rate... I love Singapore so much and can see myself here for so many years.
Hope you can give me your honest opinion if it's worthwhile applying

0. Nationality: French - Caucasian
1. Profession: Commercial Director

3. Company: International company (16 countries) - small office in Singapore
4. Time in Singapore: Since June 2013

Just a quick update.
At the time of my posting here I already had applied in November and was trying to evaluate my chances with you... because i got quite worried. ( I know I should have told that before but that wouldn't have changed anything). My apologies about the confusion
I got the letter and have been rejected with the : "You are welcome to work and reside under your current pass". From my understanding reading that forum it seems to be the kiss of death ?
My application was along with 3 letters of recommendation (1 High level manager (singaporean), 1 good friend (Singapore PR) and my boss (french).
I have also submitted bank statements with more than 100k to show I can support myself...
Anyway that did not work and got rejected after 5month and half.
I love Singapore and have no intention to move out but this for sure will prevent me from buying a condo and be less adventurous in business setup as I have to be careful to keep my job so I can stay in Singapore.
I am thinking if i should wait another year and apply again ? I am not sure what would have changed much, I am already almost at the top of my industry...
I am not so much looking to do an MBA in local school to boost my profile.
Thanks for your feedbacks
IMHO for a person with your profile it is critical to stay in Singapore somehow long enough (I would guess at least 3-4 more years). People holding managerial positions with relatively high salaries tend to follow the job and seem to be sort of considered volatile what translates to lower chances for PR. Stay longer, get married, multiply with the male offspring and your chances should significantly improve. Bank accounts and investing in private properties, as well as doing some donation is completely irrelevant.Night_Owl wrote:Hi Guys,
