Yes you can apply with her as your spouse in the application. Whether both of you (or just you or just her) get approved or not, is a different matter.kk2014 wrote:Hi,
A quick question. Hope you guys can shed some lights for me.
I am an EP holder. Currently my wife is not working and is in Singapore under long term visit pass scheme. If i am applying PR, can me and my wife apply the PR together (since she is housewife)?
Please advise.
It is always better to apply as family. The merits of both of your applications are based on you because you're the provider for your household.kk2014 wrote:Thanks the lynx.
are you saying that If i apply for PR together with my wife, then there would be a chance I get approved alone but not her?
I thought the result is either we both get approved or we both get rejected.
For my case, i applied PR alone with own merit point, approved after about 1.5 month and after all process done applied as sponsor PR for my wife, got rejected ( not too sure is it she pregnant at the moment). half a year later after my girl born, applied as sponsor for both of them and got approved after 3 months.the lynx wrote:It is always better to apply as family.

You cannot apply as a family unit. You have to gain PR as the breadwinner first (although you can apply for your daughter at the same time I believe. The non-working spouse cannot until you are able to sponsor her as a PR sponsor.kk2014 wrote:the lynx wrote:It is always better to apply as family.

Thank you.
Initially, I thought i need to be a PR first and then sponsor my wife. I did not quite sure if we could apply the PR together (especially she is housewife).
Additionally, based on the information listed in ICA, she does not belong to any one of the groups listed.
"The following categories of foreigners are eligible to apply for permanent residence:
(a) Spouse and unmarried children (below 21 years old) of a Singapore Citizen (Singapore Citizenship)/ SingaporePermanent Resident (SPR)
(b) Aged Parents of a Singapore Citizenship
(c) Employment Pass/ S Pass holders
(d) Investors "

May i ask the reason your wife not working?
This is what I understand based on the information found in ICA website.sundaymorningstaple wrote:You cannot apply as a family unit.

So you are saying she is an illegal worker in Singapore at the moment? That's pretty risky, don't you think? She cannot work unless she is on a Letter of Consent and you cannot get that doing freelance work. I'd say you could end up with an even bigger problem if she's found out. She may well get bounced out of Singapore permanently.kk2014 wrote:Sp1d3rMan wrote:For my case, i applied PR alone with own merit point, approved after about 1.5 month and after all process done applied as sponsor PR for my wife, got rejected ( not too sure is it she pregnant at the moment). half a year later after my girl born, applied as sponsor for both of them and got approved after 3 months.the lynx wrote: It is always better to apply as family.

she is a freelancer (but does not contribute tax) and we would like to have a baby in a very near future.
Can you tell us the dates when your's got approved and when your wife's got rejected? May be there in lies the clue.Sp1d3rMan wrote:For my case, i applied PR alone with own merit point, approved after about 1.5 month and after all process done applied as sponsor PR for my wife, got rejected ( not too sure is it she pregnant at the moment). half a year later after my girl born, applied as sponsor for both of them and got approved after 3 months.the lynx wrote:It is always better to apply as family.

From reading the forum I am fairly sure that working in Singapore without the required permit is illegal.kk2014 wrote:sundaymorningstaple wrote:
