1) Are you in Singapore or outside Singapore?

2) Which country you will apply from?

That's a total misconception. There are white people who struggle hard not to be kicked out of Singapore. But you obviously do not know about them.

Singapore looks largely on educational qualifications above all. If you have a nice degree and can find a nice job, they're willing to take you in.

I know well-educated black people and dark-skinned dudes who could get a PR in a month.

Listen to the guy from the Netherlands, he's more enlightened than you are,

In my case (married to Chinese Singaporean, master degree and good income history in The Netherlands and worked as an expat before in Singapore), it only took 6 weeks for an Approved in Principle PR. I could then come here to Singapore, my wife being my so called sponsor and start applying for jobs. Three weeks later I had a job, 2 days after that I got my "full" PR.

You can get all information from the embassy, but in short, these are the criteria: education, background, relation to Singapore, income history and age (Singapore needs kids ).

Eric, are you by any chance mixing up EP and PR? You can get an in-principle EP, but I've never heard of such as beast as an in-principle PR...!

That's complete rubbish. I've just got PR and of a room full of people completing their applications (that's 3 long hours worth of people) I would say there were 5 white faces.

Maybe not all were doing PR, I'm not sure what else that office processes, but certainly a lot were leaving with the same paperwork as myself.

Eric,
I see your posting dated Feb. 10. You got a job in three weeks. Does it mean you just got a job recently? like in Jan. Feb. 2005? or you are talking about sometimes ago. Just out of curiosity, what field you are in?
cheerssss....

Ah, you left out the little detail of having a Singaporean wife. Now we all know that being married to a S'porean is not a guarantee of getting a PR, but obviously this is still a pretty big factor...

No he didn't.. He stated in his first post that he has a Chinese Singaporean wife.
