Myself (main applicant on EP)
Race/Ethnicity: Filipino (Citizenship) / Chinese (Ethnicity)
Education: Bachelor Degree from NTU / NUS / SMU
Job: Product Manager / Tech Company
Work experience: 4 years
Salary: 115k + 25k bonus
Duration of stay in Singapore: 10 years (incl. education)
Gender: Male
Civil: Single
Note: Had 1 previous rejection in 2020

Reapply after 2 years.

If I apply in October, that should be okay right? What are your thoughts on my chances? I spoke to an agency today (SIP) and they mentioned that given the decrease in foreigners and the same quota, there should be less competition in getting the PR this time around as well.

Thank you for the feedback, singaporeflyer!

BTW, my fiancee is also living here in Singapore (planning to get married this year).
Will it be better to apply after getting married and apply as a couple, or wouldn't matter and better to apply individually?
She is also a Filipino (27 y.o., B.S. Business Administration, Supply Chain Planner/Analyst (FMCG industry for a MNC, SPass with 70K+ salary, 5 and 1/2 years stay in Singapore. She also has an Aunt/Uncle/cousin who are SPR, not sure if this family tie will even matter or not). Thanks again!

if last rejection is Oct 20, then apply in Oct 22. I can't comment on what consultancies say. May be they want more business?

My recommendation is for you to apply on your own without any consultancy. It is a simle application

Uncle/Aunt being SPR/SC - NOT much value.
If father/mother/spouse SPR/SC - Has value and you can ask them to sponsor
If you need to apply as a couple after marriage it has to be after 2 years of marriage. So applying alone now or after 2 years of marriage as a couple is upto you.

How often do you fly back to India and what is your average length of stay there when you do go back. Are you married? Have any kids in school here? Basically, I don't see anything that separates you from the masses to warrant PR. Similar profiles won't mean squat. Unless they are a carbon copy duplicate all the way to the bone and parents and extended families. Each application is taken on its own merits and not compared with other applicants.

Hi thank you for the response.
Haven’t been back to India since 2016 and have no intentions in the distant time to do so.
I travel a lot close to 7-10 days in the region and around for work.
I am divorced since 2015, no custody of child and no intentions on going that route.
Am planning to get married again with my PR girlfriend but the uncertainty with the situation of PR is holding this up too and delaying the plans.
Taxable Income has also increased 10% compared to 2020 but that doesn’t mean anything I guess.
Thank you very much.

Going to be tough because of
- Ethnic quota
- Age

Surely no issues with your salary

Congrats.
Indo Chinese, 22 years in Sg is shoe-in apart from the one time rejection which is a small negative.

[sundaymorningstaple]

Good to hear about the approval after not taking up the original offer. Too many sad stories over the years. It's good to hear of one that bucks the trend. And yes, thank you for the data points, you guys are where we get our data from. It all helps us to see trends or a changing of trends. Congrats.

Thank you!!

Do you think that the quota is a bit more adjusted now that the number of EP holders is much lesser than 2 years ago?
I read that there has been a significant reduction in EP holders.. does this mean that the chances are higher coz the number of people applying is lower ?
