I was wondering if getting a bachelor degree in a Singaporean university can help me get a PR or at least an open work permit after I graduate. I couldn't find any information about it online.
Thanks.
Are you studying in NUS or planning to study in NUS depending upon the chance of getting PR ?Just1Time wrote:Hi,

So, in summary, studying in Singapore does give you a very big advantage for PR ? I am lost there now ....BBCWatcher wrote:I agree with the posters upthread: there doesn't appear to be any inherent advantage nowadays. No additional points awarded, and no points subtracted. However, to elaborate a bit, it's still true that getting a degree in Singapore means it's somewhat more likely you'll stay in Singapore, become a member of the foreign workforce, and live in Singapore (or marry a Singaporean or PR). That'll probably remain true at least until teleportation is invented and becomes popular.
Obviously foreign workers living in Singapore, and spouses of citizens/PRs, are more likely to become Singapore PRs than foreigners living outside Singapore, other things being equal. In short, living in Singapore is living in Singapore, and living in Singapore puts you into a better position for PR as a separate matter. But there are many routes into Singapore to live.
It gives you similar advantage as being a female or a male as PR is only granted to females and males. Also similar advantage is associated with passport holders.ecureilx wrote:So, in summary, studying in Singapore does give you a very big advantage for PR ?

As I am lost most of the times ...

It's actually the other way around. People who are more likely to get a PR live in Singapore, but just for the fact of living in Singapore nobody is going to grant them PR. More-over, there are known scenarios allowing to get PR while living outside Singapore, but for the basic fact of living here nobody yet gained a PR. You follow?BBCWatcher wrote:If you live in Romania, you're unlikely to be granted Singapore PR status. If you live in Singapore, you're more likely to be granted Singapore PR status.
The only way to *start* living in Singapore is to actually come to Singapore. That could be for any legal reason. Getting a university degree in Singapore is one example. But so is getting a degree from Harvard and then coming to Singapore to work as a biochemist.
Got it?
Funny you should mention Romania, as I know a Romanian who became PR while not living here. True storyBBCWatcher wrote:If you live in Romania, you're unlikely to be granted Singapore PR status.
