Definenatly not an sham marriage, the idea of getting PR for my wife is to apply for BTO so that we have a place to settle down. If we got to relocate back first means we got to rent a house ? Being a Singaporean and still need to rent a place to stay I feel..... u know.
So I wanna ask if any experience brothers here got similar situation and got approval?

Maybe you should learn to cowboy up. Most other nationalities in their own countries rent before they buy almost all of the time. It's a beach when you grow up with an entitlement complex, innit.

So let me get this straight - your wife wants to apply for Permanent Residence without actually residing in Singapore?kenzon wrote:Hi All,

Yah, so they can avoid any of this 'contribute to society' stuffs, but so they can buy flat on the cheap.Mi Amigo wrote: So let me get this straight - your wife wants to apply for Permanent Residence without actually residing in Singapore?
I can't think of a citizenry that would benefit more from a bit of 'Light-touch repression'

he'll be asking to get his BTO flat within the year... because he's... you know.kenzon wrote:Definenatly not an sham marriage, the idea of getting PR for my wife is to apply for BTO so that we have a place to settle down.

Well if I were in charge I know what my answer would be. But I'm not, and neither am I an 'experience brother' (although I do revere Hendrix).kenzon wrote:Yes.

IIRC the subject of applying for PR whilst abroad has been discussed in the forum before, so you might want to use the search function above to seek out previous discussions on the topic.
Alternatively, why not ask the ICA? IME they are very helpful and responsive to enquiries sent via email to:
ICA_PR@ica.gov.sg
Please update this thread with the outcome as the information may be helpful to others in the future.

Chance? Yes, albeit, slim.
Odds? 40:60, If wife is Indonesian Chinese, maybe 45:55 but only after married two years minimum. Pre 2011 GE much easier, but now, not so easy. If you breathe a word to ICA that you just want to apply for BTO, all bets are off.

2) Present Residential Address in Singapore
