Hi everyone! I would like to ask if it is possible to get married to a WP holder if I am a Singaporean? I read in the Employment Act that it states:
"The foreign employee shall not go through any form of marriage or apply to marry under any law, religion, custom or usage with a Singapore citizen or permanent resident in or outside Singapore, without the prior approval of the Controller, while the foreign employee holds a work permit, and also after the foreign employee’s work permit has expired or has been cancelled or revoked.
If the foreign employee is a female foreign employee, the foreign employee shall not become pregnant or deliver any child in Singapore during and after the validity period of her work permit, unless she is a work permit holder who is already married to a Singapore citizen or permanent resident with the approval of the Controller, or as the Controller allows in any particular case. "
and this:
"If the foreign employee contravenes any of the work permit conditions applicable to the foreign employee, and the employer has knowledge of the contravention, the employer shall inform the Controller and, if required by the Controller, apply for the cancellation of the foreign employee’s work permit and visit pass and comply with any other instruction from the Controller with respect to the contravention."
Checked on MOM website that they have this Marriage Approval Form (like how likelihood will MOM approve?). What are the steps should we take into consideration? Planning to get married in 2yrs time or wait till I am financially stable after I graduate from uni.

Seeing other postings in here, seems like very hard to marry WP. In dilema to continue the relationship.
my Local Singapore friend applied for his to wed a foreign bride) be sure to include both highest education certification (I would suggest you apply once after your graduation)
