If not this time , how many tax returns have you made?

Then its close on a guarantee you will get in the future , in the event of rejection you may well get told the time frame with which you can re-apply and get a positive outcome.

Well, I've only filed for taxes once ever since I started working here. 8-[

Do you reckon a letter of recommendation from my employer would help?

Maybe , maybe not , but the website states 3 returns I think, so they may well tell you to come back once you have completed the minimum requirement.

That's not to say you wont get approved this time , but its just something to bear in mind should you get rejected.

Whats the hurry anyways?

Dont know how it works for the 3 year wait for PR to buy a place if the partner is a Singapore Citizen.

Probably need to check on that.

Not so Melvinlow85. Son and mother apparently living in India as they couldn't even get LTVP (Father's salary too low). I'm willing to bet that son was born in India and never went to school here nor did the father apply for citizenship for the child which could have sorted out all the problems unless child born in India and applied for Indian Citizenship first. I'm assuming that he lived in India from 2006 to 2014.

ICA never throws anything away. That is why if you worked here 30 years ago on a WP and you come back today with a PhD and a high flyer, when you apply you will have exactly the same FIN number. They don't forget anything. They have a very long, long memory, that's how they keep catching NS defaulters. Simple things like yeah the guy changed citizenship and passports but it shows that the parents were Singapore citizens and he was born on such & such a date and is of such and such ethnic group. How hard is it to pop those number in to a database query (which now includes ALL the main databases in Singapore, MOM, ICA, IRAS, MINDEF, MOH Births & Deaths records. and Boom how many guys do you reckon were born on that particular date of that particular race who are not listed as deceased and have not reported for NS duties. Easy-Peazy.

Apply doesnt mean you have to stay in sg and your dad is SGC....when you apply under PTS did you never input your family detail.......They might see u as NS defaulter which mean your chance is super low unless u tell them giv me pr i do ns for you.......

Melvinlow85, please do not give out misleading information on this site. We do not try to mislead our readers.

When applying for PR under the PTS Scheme, if approved, he will not be required to do NS. PTS stands for Professional/Technical Scheme, therefore family does not enter into it and he would not be required to do NS, however, if he had a son who became a PR then the son would inherit the obligation. He cannot apply for PR under Family Ties as he is over the age of majority and has to qualify in his own right. Add to that, the Government isn't too fond of giving PR to Indian Nationals at the moment anyway, so they are not about to bend the rules in an instance like this. We still don not know the mother's status here or if she is still in India.
