Hi guys, I might be wrong but from what i have been reading online and what people around me are saying, based on that im writing this observation.
1- Your income is not really that important, ppl with 15k/month gets rejected whereas ppl with 2k/month gets approved.
So income is not really one of the main requirements in assessing your PR application. Even though it shows how you can sustain in SG but really i read so much online that it makes me think that money is not what this country wants.
Your AGE is more important when it comes to your worth in SG, coz they want to see how long will you contribute to CPF.
2- Education is very important. Most applicants who gets PR have/had studied in SG or from a good uni with good grades. SG focus on education more than income from my understanding.
3- Family in Singapore is additional point. It shows that you are willing to commit longer to SG. Male kids below 16 yr, extra points.
4- Don't get all confused to marry a Singaporean will increase your chances. At most you will get LTVP. I know few cases married for 4 years,3 years and even 5 years yet can't get PR.
5- Your ethical race is important. This is something which no one can control as if you look at this from country point of view its fair enough. No country will want to be overly crowded with either of race. SG is focusing more on Chinese because in many ways they have similarities. Even though Singaporeans don't like to be compared to Chinese but they do have many things in common.
Each year X number of candidates will be approved and mostly will be Chinese which leaves a slight chance for other races.
6- The number of years you stay in Singapore. This is very gray area to many people. Some applicants approved within 1 yr whereas some rejected even after 8 years, why? Ok coz if you are on student pass for 10 years those 10 years translates to 0 years in application. A student pass is not a valid pass to translate to residency. lets say on S-Pass you stay for 3 years your appreciation will be more stronger as compare to student pass.
But its is not only staying in Singapore. Your activities in Singapore also matters like:
a- Local Bank accounts
b- Govn school eduction for kids
c- WDA programmes if on EP
d- Memberships with local Clubs
e- condo or HDB
f- Area you live in. (Even though Singapore is small but they do control state population)
g- Your job progression, how often you get promoted.
h- Any of the 2 Local Languages you have picked, MALAY or CHINESE
7- Your recommendation letter from the company. ICA don't want to know how well you are in your current job, they want to know whats your future in the current company. How well behave are you with local employees. What is your worth to the industry.
8- Your PR appreciation. Make sure its simple to understand, clean and systematic. The officer will review 1000+ application if he see yours is complicated he will just pass it off. Make it to the point, no need to tell them about what you used to do in your home country and what you achieved there, they don't care, tell them about what you have achieved here in SG.
So that's all what my observation is about PR application in SG. I can be wrong.
I got my PR approved within 5 months.
Age: 22
Income: 3.8k
Edu: Degree with HON
Single
Stay in SG for 5 yrs before applying
South Asian
My parents in SG on EP, rejected PR 3 times
Based on that, thats all i can come out with.
Thanks guys, and best of luck.
