Let's say that I wish to apply for PR with my future husband(If I have one). Both of us are working. He will be applying as the main applicant under PTS and will include me in his application to apply PR.
I understand that he will need the documents below (apart from passport, certs etc)
1) Notice of Income Tax Assessment for the last 3 years
2) Payslips for the last 6 months
3) and testimonials from previous employers
However, me as a spouse, do I require to produce the above documents? Even though I am applying as PR under him and I am working as well. Or my birth cert, education cert,passport and work pass would be suffice and I do not require such documents (mentioned above) that my husband does?
Well, talk about being kiasu
No offense.
you are asking about a scenario that may happen 5 or 10 years later ..
It may be like at that time, many moons ago, when ICA blindly give PR / SC to spouse of PR applicants, not even asking much info. When only the primary applicant was scrutinised very closely. The family was just added with no questions. And marrying an SC/PR was guaranteed to get you PR at the minimum, super fast.
Or 5 or 10 years later, ICA may ask you to produce your degree transcript, all employment details,copies of all pages of the passport, all duly authenticated, your parents birth certificates, their time of birth, horoscope and more .. Who knows. And may be add in 3 years bank statements, and all travels details and what not.
Or even worse, a-la Malaysia, marrying X race will get you all privileges, marrying into other races may see you spend 10 years on Social Visa.
So, to answer your question, I don't think you should fret needlessly.
And, as of now, if Spouse is applying for PR for his spouse as well, the ICA folks will ask if the wife is employed. And if the wife is employed, they will ask for pay slip (and being employed and producing pay slips only strengthen your application).
And, if you do not have the pay slips, most likely ICA Will say "come back with the pay slips .. "
That's what I have seen ..
Your experience may vary.
PS, as an example, 10 ++ years ago, for SC application, applicants had to produce all passports, current and expired. With copies of the details pages. Now, they just ask you to declare in the form.
