best wishes for your marriage.malasoup wrote: ↑Sat, 15 Aug 2020 5:08 pmHey there!
Thank you to the few contributors who are offering valuable advice on PR applications in SG
Would like to know what you guys reckon the chances of my spouse getting his PR approved will be since I have not seen any business owners enquiring about PR application in any other posts (maybe I did not lurk long enough or wasn't paying enough attention?).
Quick Back story:
(1) We have been dating for 4 years but only married this year in 2020. It is not marriage of convenience but obviously ICA didn't ask about dating duration before marriage so I hope they don't see it as such. Also, my mistake for not reading forums like these online before applying!
(2) My husband has applied by himself 3 years ago when he was a single expat (where I was NOT included in that application since we weren't married, then). Rejected, obviously haha!
(3) Also, we are BOTH new entrepreneurs who registered our own businesses (SG based) in 2019 and 2020.

We are planning to get a BTO soon since we are eligible for it, not sure will that help in sinking roots.

No chance. Not after the latest stink. ICA and the various ministers will be having a complete rethink about the financial sector. Far too many new SC and SPR in that sector for comfort.singaporeflyer wrote: ↑Mon, 17 Aug 2020 9:41 am50-50 chanceVitruvian wrote: ↑Sun, 16 Aug 2020 10:20 pmGood Morning Gurus,

Very true. (Edit - to be fair the whole LinkedIn doxxing event just happened and I think is really gonna put a rocket up ICA and PAP etc).
Thank you my friend. His prior salary will exceed 9.5k/month, because I forgot to mention his commissions.TropicalExpat wrote: ↑Sun, 16 Aug 2020 5:34 pmbest wishes for your marriage.malasoup wrote: ↑Sat, 15 Aug 2020 5:08 pmHey there!

Your prior salaries are quite low. I would say the only reason he would get PR based on prior salary is because of his marriage to a Singaporean.
However, the rhetorical question is how much revenue are your businesses making? If it's a decent amount then your husband should easily get PR.
Wait 2 - 3 years. Keep the businesses afloat and he should get it.
And Good Luck!
What they will look at is the guaranteed basic salary. All commissions etc may be treated as something bonus/good to have as they are not guaranteed always.malasoup wrote: ↑Mon, 17 Aug 2020 5:19 pmThank you my friend.

As for our business revenue, do you think ICA looks at gross revenue or other metric? Just curious
We had already made the application, pending results.
Now that's a good question, and I have no idea whether they look at gross or net, though I imagine it would be something like whatever you pay in taxmalasoup wrote: ↑Mon, 17 Aug 2020 5:19 pmThank you my friend.
