You can try. 50-50 chance I would say.

Why would you say 50-50? Apart from Nationality, are there other pointers that I should be looking at to improve? Thanks. This is my first application btw.

Hi all,
I have been following this forum for a while now and appreciate the constructive discussion here. I intend to apply for a PR in the coming months after my PEP application got approved a few months ago. Here are a few of my details:
1. Nationality - Indian
2. Education - Masters from a Singapore University
3. Length of stay in Singapore - since Dec 2013 (as a student) - working since April 2015
4. Age - 37yrs
5. Current salary - 275k base + bonus
6. Marital Status - Single
7. Visa status - PEP
8. Occupation - Director at a technology company

I have been actively involved in the teaching space as well having had taught in universities and polytechnics.

Your advice required:
1. What are my chances
2. I have savings in Singapore bank account but currently have not made any long-term investments in Singapore - do I need to?
3. Should I go via an agency?

Really appreciate the advice here. Thanks a lot in advance.

1. Apply one year after PEP, you will have decent chance. The only thing that may go against you may be the view that since your salary is high, you may move to greener pastures elsewhere later. But anyway, try.
2. It is OK.
3. Not needed. You can do the application yourself online

Thanks a lot for your advice. Re #2- just to clarify, is it ok not to have a long term investment in Singapore eg. House, large deposits in MF, ETFs in SGX etc...? Thanks again for your prompt response.

Those investments you refer to does the Singapore Government no good at all. It only helps you. So for pr purposes you may as well have a saving account. Now if you had a startup and were imploying a couple of dozen locals and decidedly more locals than expats, that would be a heads up to ICA as that is an investment into the country, not yourself.

Since you are in the high salary range, it may be easier for you to move to greener pastures. That may be another reason for reducing your chance. But, apply and see.

Hi

I submitted my PR application a few months ago. I noticed that the Submit documents option under Enquire Application status tab in my singpass has been disabled yesterday. Does that mean a decision has been reached and I can expect an update soon? Has anyone noticed any trend of this sort? Thank you!

Most of the people said if the submit documents option gone, means you will get the result soon, hope you will get good result.
By the way when you submitted?
Sept 2020?

I had made a post in this forum in Sep 2020 as I realised my earlier post in the forum was not submitted (I thought it was). But since there was no update in my application anyway, I copy pasted the same info again. My actual application was in late Aug

Hi,any news?

Understood - I see your point. It's a tough balance eh. I will go ahead and apply anyway.

I mean even if the odds are stacked agst you, it’s still good to apply anyway. It’s like a lottery.

But at least you’d get possible reasons for rejections, by checking out this forum.

Hi

Last night I found option to submit requested document in my PR Application. I've read some posts also that they found this option even ICA didn't send any emails to request additional document.

Is this kind of on-off system from ICA?

However, previously I forgot to attach my transcript and when I clarified with them, ICA told me that no need to provide anything until they ask me to do so.
And I found out also that 1 of my friends didn't provide his transcript and his application approved as well.

So... I guess just ignore this since ICA didn't send any emails to request additional document?
