Depends what scheme you applied on. Is it family ties scheme or PTS (professional, technical personnel, skilled worker) scheme?
No, you would be okay. It's the entry to PR that is the 'key'. So, if you come in on FT she is the sponsor and has to be able to support the spouse if spouse is not working. After PR is gained, FT PR is working, no issue if SGC spouse isn't. It's the initial entry qualifications. Nobody expects that to remain consistent, not even ICA. Especially in the case of the anchor spouse being female.Sunjackal wrote: ↑Wed, 20 Oct 2021 10:51 amWith respect to this point…
Would it mean that if I am working and my wife elects to be a stay-at-home mum until our child starts school - that it’ll cause me a problem down the line because they won’t approve a visa based on the non-sponsor’s employment situation?
I don’t have PR yet though, I’m on a LTVP. She isn’t working at this stage - she’s taking care of our son whilst I will be the one to work. That was something we wanted to happen.sundaymorningstaple wrote: ↑Wed, 20 Oct 2021 4:16 pmNo, you would be okay. It's the entry to PR that is the 'key'.

It’s an interesting situation for me, to be honest.sundaymorningstaple wrote: ↑Thu, 21 Oct 2021 7:46 pmIf both are not working in Singapore, then it would be pretty difficult for ICA to grant even an LTVP (renewal). In theory, it can't happen without without a valid sponsor (if it's a Family Ties application). However, if you have a job paying a sufficient amount even on a LoC, It might be possible, but it's going to be like a salmon swimming upstream to spawn. I'll be honest, I'd like the know the results of that. If you are still working like you claimed when you first joined here, I can't see it being successful. One of you needs to be able to prove the ability to provide support. If it a PTS scheme application for PR then you need to be able to prove you have then monthly income to qualify. If it's a Family Ties application then she has to be able to justify the means to provide support as the anchor sponsor.
Don't know if this helps..... My wife (SC - Chinese, I'm from India) quit her job before I had applied for PR in 2019 under the PTS scheme. My application was approved in less than 6 months. My wife wasn't working at the time of approval.Sunjackal wrote: ↑Wed, 20 Oct 2021 10:51 amWith respect to this point…

I applied from overseas before I came here. Family ties. I thought it was obvious that it was FT because of my concern with her being the main sponsor and not working. The other scheme has nothing to do with my spouse. Sorry for the confusion.
Precisely the reason why I didn't apply via family ties even though it was technically an option. Because my wife wasn't working at the time.
