I would say a high chance.
1) You are the right ethnic group from the right country.
2) length of time in Singapore is positive.
3) Young enough to contribute for a substantial amount of time to Singapore

Salary is not high, but given the first point, it doesn't matter

Good luck and please let us know the result

zero.

Once there is a break. The stay reset to 0.
So basically you work in Singapore only few mth.

[TropicalExpat]

Agree with therat.
The break resets your PR consideration to zero.

Even if that weren't the case, if your wife is on DP (i.e. not working), your per family member pay is only around 6.5k. And that's even before talking about the ethnicity.
You also haven't given your academic qualifications or age.

I imagine you would not be successful.

I'll address the factor that you probably imagine is the strongest in your favour - your SG partner. The fact you are not married would be a red flag. To even be in with a chance, you would need to be married for at least 2 years.

Now we have addressed that. You are essentially submitting on your own (your partner provides no help)
Let's look at the rest of your qualifications. Remember you need to look at your qualifications vs your cohort which is early 30s caucasians. Those are the ones you are competing again
In that case your salary is low. Like we've observed before, there are many well paid expats from Western countries here. A bog standard VP at a bank is probably on around 10-15k per month.
Generalising here but HR is not a highly valued job as determined by the Singapore government, unless you happen to be supporting some fancy smancy high tech, bio science etc etc

Go ahead and apply though. What harm is there? The worst that could happen is they say no?
Alternatively, you could settle down with your SYT and apply as the spouse of a SC...

You can apply for PR. No reason why you can't.

But I would say your chances are low.

Your ethnicity is against you. Your industry is against you. Your salary is low. Your wife isn't working.
