Chance is a bit low because of ethnicity,age. But I would say go ahead and apply once. sometimes surprising things happen.StuntCicak wrote: ↑Thu, 01 Oct 2020 2:22 pmHello,
Thank you for this very informative thread and clear guidance. Could you please give me your opinion on my profile:
Gender: F
Age: 43
Marital status: Single
Nationality: Spain
Ethnicity: Caucasian
Diplomas: BS, MBA (Europe)
Industry: Tech company (Facebook)
Role: Program manager
Salary: 250k
Pass: EP, same company since 2014
Stay in Singapore: 11y combined since 2009 (had an EP, PEP and unemployed for ~6months in total in between jobs before the 2014 job and only ever left Singapore 1-2 weeks when unemployed to renew visa). I understand 2014 is a reset point for duration of stay for this application .
If I were to guesstimate I’d say very low to no chances. Cons are age, ethnicity and probably job isn’t specialised enough (that could change in the next 6 months towards cybersecurity specialisation). I think I missed my window and would have had better chances ~3-4y ago if I had planned it from the start, but keen to hear your thoughts on this self-assessment!
I think you said it - if you applied a few years back your chances would have bene higher.StuntCicak wrote: ↑Thu, 01 Oct 2020 2:22 pmHello,

Not really true unless you are in bringing in some really really special expertise/skill. But it may be possible after 4-5 years. How old are you between? Are u coming alone or with family? What is your education, experience etc?not from sng wrote: ↑Sat, 03 Oct 2020 2:33 pmI find this discussion fascinating. I am being considered for a job at one of the university's in sng as a senior hire (ie, tenured). I am a caucasian from north america and have been told I can get PR status after one year. Is this true? What would happen if my application is turned down? I know nothing about living in sng so any advice would be appreciated.
With $$$. Keep in mind that PR is looking more for potential future citizens, rather than attracting foreign talent to SG. See below...not from sng wrote: ↑Sat, 03 Oct 2020 4:49 pmotherwise how would sng attract top scholars to move there?

Wait. Time spent before does not count. Is your full work experience in SG or did you work elsewhere? If you worked somewhere and then came back to SG, your chance may not be so high. else it will be high.tommyboy8 wrote: ↑Sat, 03 Oct 2020 6:14 pmChance me? Just recently submitted
Age: early 30s
Gender: M

Nationality: Indonesian
Ethnicity: Chinese
Diplomas: MBA (top 3 US), went to local high school (sec sch+JC) here under SG govt scholarship way back if that matters
Industry: Tech investing (private equity)
Salary: 700k
Years in SG: 4.5 years (filed taxes 4 times), 8.5 if including time spent before
You may have around 25-30% chance. Because ICA knows from past that you may move elsewhere.tommyboy8 wrote: ↑Sat, 03 Oct 2020 7:07 pmOnly 4.5 years work experience in SG (4 tax cycles). Worked somewhere else outside SG prior to that before my MBA. Also left SG after JC and went to a US college. Thought the time spent before during sec sch / JC might be relevant so I'd mention it but seems that it doesn't get taken into consideration anyway
