Me and my wife just married, and I'm going to sponsor her for Singapore PR.
However, she's not staying in Singapore yet. Part of the reason, her current qualification doesn't allow her to work in Singapore (not easily at least). (She's holding medical degree, but not the University recognized by Singapore Medical Council, hence unable to get license here). As she is currently practicing in our home country, I feel that it is a waste for her to come here (without PR and the ability to work here)
Now, in the application form, there is section asking whether the applicant is currently residing with the sponsor, and had to provide explanation if not staying (which is my case).
Is there anybody had similar experience as me? How do you provide the explanation letter? Will this greatly affecting her chances of getting PR?

Sponsoring PR for Wife, but she is not living in Singapore
Re: Sponsoring PR for Wife, but she is not living in Singapo
Yes. I know. It won't change the SMC requirement.
Just that with PR, easier to find other job, better benefit, chances to buy resale HDB (after 3 years of course).

If you are just married, chances for getting PR for the spouse immediately is going to be close to nil, that too if your spouse is located overseas. Will it be better if she resides here on a LTVP for sometime and then apply for PR ?sammyo wrote:Yes. I know. It won't change the SMC requirement.

Yeah.. I thought about it also. At the moment, it is not possible for her to come yet. as she's studying for her specialist degree (which will take another 2.5 years at least).singaporeflyer wrote: If you are just married, chances for getting PR for the spouse immediately is going to be close to nil, that too if your spouse is located overseas.

I'm just hoping ICA will look at my family background (not sure if it even matter). I've been PR for 10 years, my brother and sister in law just converted to SC, my sister also PR.

Mate,
I don't think you get the picture. With 10's of thousands of your compatriots already here, applying for PR, why would the gahmen even think about your app? Wife not here... where is any evidence that you are actually going to be a "permanent resident"? As you write it, she is going to be permanently resident elsewhere for at least 2.5 years. I judge you have zero chance.
