Not to offend, but try to move back to EP by progressing in your career. Else, EP to S Pass will look like a downgrade.

Hello Again,....
Just want to inquire if our account balances has bearing also on the PR approval?
And if yes...let say for example I have 250Ksgd in my bank savings account. Will it surpasses from other PR criteria such as race, EP/Spass, number of stay in SG, work experience and etc? Thanks!

I think the amount you mentioned has very little bearing. There are anecdotes of high net worth individuals granted PRs so net worth is being considered but will only have an effect at certain levels.

This HNI is under a separate investment scheme and not the PTS scheme.

Surely no. If it is so, then it is no more PTS Scheme. I am really not sure on how you can think like this. They are looking at Professional Talents in the PTS Scheme and not really the money. The money part that they look into is just to ensure they you do not become a liability for the government after they grant PR.
