Hi,
I believe that a number of people on this forum have remained a PR in Singapore for a long time (some more than 30 years?), without any intention of applying for Singaporean citizenship. They are mostly citizens of Western countries. Understandably it is difficult to give up those citizenships (and not all of those countries offer the option of citizenship resumption, once given up).
We all know that the Singapore government makes a non-trivial distinction between PRs and Citizens in many areas of life (housing, school fees, etc), that is simply unthinkable in some other countries.
What have been the major challenges so far? What are the anticipated challenges in future? Once you retire, would the REP still be renewable?
And what would be the specific challenges for a single person (with no intention to marry) holding PR status for the rest of his life in Singapore?
Thanks!
