My wife works in Singapore with an EP, while I'm just a DP holder.
We have a plan to apply for PR.
What I understand is an EP holder like my wife may apply for PR, source: https://www.ica.gov.sg/page.aspx?pageid=151
In the ICA website, a DP Holder is not listed as one of the eligible PR applicants.
Can I apply for PR together with her?
Or I need to wait for my wife to get her PR approved first, then proceed with applying PR for myself?
Thanks
Thanks a lot for the answer.jamie9vardy wrote:https://www.ica.gov.sg/data/resources/d ... AJan15.pdfcoblos wrote:May I ask a little bit regarding PR eligibility?

See if Page 7 makes sense to you...
Thanks for the answer.sundaymorningstaple wrote:It could go either way, depending on the ICA Officer and the documents and details of their research on you and your family that they come up with during the field teams searches in your home country(ies). But normally it is advantageous to file for the whole family. If you file alone then ICA wonders if you are planning on ditching your family once you obtain PR. Make sense?
Yes, it will be approved or rejected as a unit if applied together.coblos wrote: Thanks for the answer.
So that means the best case scenario is I get my PR alongside my wife, correct?
And since my wife has been working in singapore only for 2 years, and we're Indonesian (Javanese not Chinese), do we have a good chance to get our PR approved?
I heard that it's better if someone have at least 3 years working in EP.
Thanks
Okay I guess I'll wait for another year then.jamie9vardy wrote:Yes, it will be approved or rejected as a unit if applied together.coblos wrote: Thanks for the answer.

Preferably it should be 3 tax NOA's.
As for chances of success, hard to say. To quote 'how long is a piece of string?'
OK, I thought it's only applicable for the son of PR holder (first gen PR).sundaymorningstaple wrote:It's possible. But at 27 now, the odds are against it. You would have to register for it, but in all probability you would get a waiver.
Your biggest problem is going to be your ethnicity, to be honest. (If both you and your wife are ethnically Javanese and not Chinese).
Some rejection letter says wait for 2 years. Some says you can stay in Singapore as long as you can have your work pass renewed. Some says nothing.coblos wrote: By the way if our PR application got rejected, how long do usually ICA ask people to wait before re-applying?
Is it short like 6 months or long like 1 or 2 years?

Suggestion is wait for at least a year and when your circumstances have changed significantly since the first application.
By the way, will religion affect PR chance?sundaymorningstaple wrote:It's possible. But at 27 now, the odds are against it. You would have to register for it, but in all probability you would get a waiver.
