Why don't you apply under GIP?
https://www.edb.gov.sg/en/how-we-help/g ... ramme.html

the GIP requires that I work as management of a company with over USD 50M in annual revenue in the past 5 years...I don't qualify for that...my own online company in China did not get qualify for that

Chance is going to be too less now. In the current situation, i feel you have waited too long already and might have missed the chance already. Salary may be on the border too

Thank you. I will still take my chance to apply.

I never thought of this when I was still single back then. When I got married with my wife in 2017 is the time we decided to apply PR. Since she's still new to Singapore we plan to apply after 2 years.

Also my salary is low back then, this my first time having a management job.

Hello! I am considering to apply for PR and appreciate if someone can comment on my chance based on the profile below:

Gender: Male
Age: 39
Nationality: Chinese Hong Kong
Education: MSc from UK
Industry: engineering / architecture / infrastructure
Salary: base 130k; allowance 60k
Marital status: Single
Years of experience: 14 years
Length of stay in SG: 3 years 3 months
Pass type: EP, renewed once
Tax cycle: 4 (tax paid in the first tax cycle was negligible)

Haven't applied before. Appreciate your views on the chance of applying. Thanks

Fairly decent profile and have been here for a while now. Should have a decent chance. Just need to be prepared for the long wait for the outcome.

the GIP requires that I work as management of a company with over USD 50M in annual revenue in the past 5 years...

Limit is USD 200m/year. (USD 0.5b/year if it's a next gen business)

These days it's pretty much only major businesses or family offices either courted or invited here, who qualifies for any kind of leg-up with PR. They're just not interested in smaller businesses or investors.

I reckon it is going to be a long wait as there are too many if's at the moment. In fact, it's doubtful any PRs will be actually granted at the moment regardless of how long you have been waiting up to this point. If you think about it, it makes sense, considering the unemployment that is happening and the destruction of the economics of the island. At this point all here on some sort of work pass need to worry more about just keeping what they have. First to go will be the Foreign Worker (WP holders). Then if the covid continues, the WFH foreigners will be next (outsourcing - if you are a S or EP holder and are currently Working From Home, they are liable to be the next to go considering you can work from home in your own country, for a company here in Singapore. Finally, if the unemployment among Singaporeans goes high enough. I think the government will be more concerned about getting them re-employed, than bring in new PR / Citizens. So, no, I don't think you chances are particularly good at the moment. From a personal/family perspective aside from the usual problem with race here, I don't see anything untoward in your profile. Just timing.

However, as you are a gambling man, nothing ventured, nothing gained other than the loss of the application fee as long as you have the stomach for rejection. Good Luck

Chances will be little low

Reason
1. Salary on the slightly lower side
2. Ethnicity
3. Age

Primary Applicant
Age : 33
Race : Indian
Gender : Male
Marital Status : Married
Education : MS Software Engineering
Current Field of Work : IT Consultant
Length of stay : 6 years (from April 2014)
No of tax returns: 6
Salary : Basic 110K , Bonus 10K
Pass : EP

Spouse: Singaporean Chinese
Education: Bachelor of finance , CFA
Salary: 95K Basic + 22K Bonus
Married July, 2019
No Kids.

Applied for the first time last year September , 2019 under the SC spouse scheme.
Wanted to wait for up-to a year before applying but had to apply earlier to appease father-in-law. (I can understand his concerns.)

I received the standard letter from ICA stating the increase in PR processing duration. However my concern is that given the current pandemic if i lose my job what are my options to stay with my wife as well as find a job that doesn't require EP/SPass.

[sundaymorningstaple]

If you lose your job, you can always get an LTVP with your wife as sponsor (assuming she works and earns sufficiently enough to convince ICA that you will not become a burden on the government). Generally that isn't a problem. Then you might find a job easier, should that happen, using the Letter of Consent.

You may need to wait alteast for 2 years after marriage to get your PR. Just my view.
