3rd Time PR Rejected, why keep rejected?

Post by TanKianWee » Fri, 03 Jul 2020 9:34 pm

I just came to know on yesterday 2 July 2020 1:08am checked on ICA website and my PR application has been rejected. I am going to have baby in coming first week of September.

Appreciate someone can give comment what is the reason keep rejecting my application?
And should i try to appeal the PR application since just rejected within 6 months time?

I am thinking of some reason as below :
1. Will that because of not in Singapore for quite long?
Due to Covid 19, i back to Malaysia since 13 March and till now still in Malaysia, it is nearly 4 months not in Singapore.

2. I have a bad debt in Malaysia, and in Bank of Malaysia stated my financial status under debt consolidation plan and have cancelled all the credit cards and personal loan?

3. My wife have been blacklisted for not to enter to Malaysia? however, her blacklist is cleared, and she is now in Malaysia with me.

4. Basic salary too low and not even eligible for Dependant Pass. My basic is SGD4992, after CPF allowance is SGD5841 per month?

5. My first job in Singapore after 6th month directly apply manual PR application, while i am waiting my PR application, i have changed job and my EP have cancelled, the NOA have shown "Clearance" before? And the application interval is the longest among 3 of my application, about 7 months only got rejected.

6. Job hopping too much previously, like every year changing jobs?

What matters is that you had a history of bad debt. I dont think appeal is going to help

If problem is your history of bad debt, how will waiting for 2 years and staying the same company help? Also you said your spouse had a history of blacklisting. All this in my view cant be undone.

While I feel sad for you, you must be happy that your EP is OK and if you manage to get a DP for her?

But I truly understand how sad it feels when PR gets rejected few times.

My bad debt is the government restructure program in malaysia (AKPK), it key criteria is must cancel all the credit card and personal loan. I have just settled my status with bank of malaysia.and it is not bankcrupt status so that the EP still eligible. Yes I am planning next year to arrange my wife for DP.

My wife have released the blacklist since year 2018.

I am not sure whether is there still have chance to apply again in future? :(

I dont think so. PR and Citizenship is long term. For these cases, history wont be erased after 7-10 years. For example, Even for some visa applications they dont ask have you been banned from entering any country in the last 7-10 years? It is the entire history that is taken into consideration.

The "problem" is you are not pure Chinese blood family. That's all. That means you get put into the others category which has an extremely limited number of yearly approvals. Honestly I don't think the debt issue has anything to do with it.

Divorce your wife, wait a year or two and then remarry w pure Chinese woman (she must have Chinese name and ancestry) and apply again (if PR is that important).
I not lawyer/teacher/CPA.
You've been arrested? Law Society of Singapore can provide referrals.
You want an International School job? School website or http://www.ISS.edu
Your rugrat needs a School? Avoid for profit schools
You need Tax advice? Ask a CPA
You ran away without doing NS? Shame on you!

Hi PNGMK, thanks for your reply. Then what about if i apply again only after 2 years?
Our baby will deliver in coming September.

Some scenario below not sure will work?
1. Together with my wife and our baby boy.
2. Only myself.
3. Only myself and my baby boy.

Hi All,

I just got the letter from my tenant, he helped me to take picture and send to me.
Any idea what is the meaning for the letter?

Thank you for your interest in Singapore Permanent Residence (SPR). All SPR applications are assessed holistically under the prevailing criteria, including economic contribution, education qualifications and integration with Singapore society among other things.

2. We have considered your application, including supporting documents. We regret to inform you that your application is not successful.

Thanks & Regards,
Kian Wee

It means PR is considered based on a group of factors and not just 1-2 criteria. They have considered your application with all the additional documents that you have provided and then made this decision for Rejection.
