I’d like to be objective. In the current situation (leaving covid aside) your chances of getting a PR is between almost 0% and most definitely 0% unless :littlegal wrote: ↑Tue, 30 Jun 2020 2:32 pmHello everyone!
I've been lurking on this forum for quite a while now, and have been reading everyone's interactions. It's been very illuminating to read all the information!
I have been contemplating applying for PR but am fully cognisant of COVID-19, and the upcoming GE, and how all of that could affect everything. I do not have plans to apply immediately, but sort of just wanted to check things out and get a sense of where I stand.
A big thank you in advance for anyone who takes the time to read and respond!
So, about myself:
Nationality [yeeeep, aware that it's probably a disadvantage]: Indian
Gender and Age: Female, 25
Education: Attended a local SG university for undergrad, 4 year course
Been in the workforce: Slightly over 2 years, paid taxes....twice? {will double-check}
Total number of years in SG: Nearly 7 years
Industry: Public relations, marketing
Salary: 3k+
Not sure if there are any other details I should include? Do let me know and I will try my best to provide.
Your info is not correct. Option 1 - cant sponsor for atleast 2 years after marriage. Are you sure option 2 will work? I doubt soICE_MAN wrote: ↑Tue, 30 Jun 2020 9:45 pmI’d like to be objective.

1. You get married to a Singapore Citizen who makes atleast 7 to 10k per month and willing to sponsor you -OR-
2. You get a position offered by certain ministries (or LTA) where the clearance requires you to be SPR or SC and where no SPR or SC is eligible or available for that position.
Alternatively, you may apply for PR when you are in Singapore for 10 years atleast (preferably 10 to 15 years) and atleast 7k SGD salary per month, where the chances can still be quite slim unless immigration policies change drastically (there are people from your subcontinent who have been in SG for atleast 10 years making 8 to 10times as much, still in the queue ahead of you).
I hope this helps you make an informed decision.

"Probably" is an understatement, but I'd say your age, local qualification, younger years spent here, gender (i.e. lack of NS envy), and the fact that you've not married another Indian out of all other people here more than make up for that disadvantage.littlegal wrote: ↑Tue, 30 Jun 2020 2:32 pmHello everyone!

You should know that if they study in a local University, they will be eligible for EP with slightly lesser restrictions/salary than the requirement. You cannot assume that to say that salary / income criteria has been taken care of. The OP will find it tough when she changes job and there is no letter from the university for helping for the new EP.subconwretch wrote: ↑Wed, 01 Jul 2020 11:05 pmIf you've been granted an EP, and can near about hit the minimums, the income criteria has been taken care of.littlegal wrote: ↑Tue, 30 Jun 2020 2:32 pmHello everyone!

I didnt recommend to get married. Since you suddenly said your partner is singaporean chinese, i had to make that statement if in case you were married.littlegal wrote: ↑Wed, 01 Jul 2020 11:31 pm@Singaporeflyer, I'm 25, I think marriage is not on the table for atleast a few years! :'D I'd prefer to earn my PR on my own merit than lean on my partner :')
I also do not intend to change jobs anytime soon, I love what I do. The plan is to continuously upskill and climb the ranks.
