After our marriage, is there an advisable time frame to apply for PR? With the HDB application in mind, i would like to get her to apply for PR asap, though is it worth waiting to do so only after she's secured a job, or after staying here for a while etc? And the obvious question with the not so obvious answer.. how long do you guys think it will take?
I'm a local grad and have been working for a few years with my salary > S$5000.
She's a grad from a Korean uni, working as a cabin attendant.
she does not need to be PR for the two of you to buy a resale flat.
after you two are married, you two are eligible to buy one if she has LTVP/work pass (min validity of 6 months during application if younger than 35 - as for completion, so long as she has a valid LTVP/work pass it will be accepted, no minimum validity needed).
are you sure she will be happy living in a flat? has she lived in housing estate in sg/kr before? if she's used to living in a >65 pyung samseong/daechi-dong type apartment... she might be in for a bit of a shock.
also, if your fiancee has worked really, really hard to get her FA job... and she plans to fly with an SG carrier, you may want to adjust her expectations and friendliness accordingly.
