Hi,
Can anyone help me evaluate my chance of getting the PEP?
For the last 2 years, I've lived in SG and hold an EP with 12k300SGD/month base salary. Total annual income is usually >200kSGD with bonus and other benefits.
The base salary barely meets the minimum requirement, if the chance is low, I would need a backup plan.
Thank you.

As long as your base salary is above the qualifying threshold give it a try. Nothing ventured, nothing gained as they say. You qualify to apply so go for it. But you are also right in as much as you should always have a backup plan, especially with the pandemic economy and uncertainties.

I though you were applying for PR? Are you insecure in your job? PEP is only good for 3 years and is non-renewable. Or are you just trying to throw a spanner in the works?

I applied for PR last year but got rejected. And you're right, my job is insecure right now, I want to have a few months off before switching to another one, to work with my mental health.

I did more research and found out that I missed the requirement about "fixed salary of at least $144,000 per calendar year". If I don't work for a few months, I don't think I can make 144k (fixed salary) within the remaining time of the year. The only choice after that is to fall back to EP.

Yes, with you salary on the qualifications borderline if you were going to take several months of down time between jobs, you are correct. You would need a pretty good salary bump on the new job to equalize the spread to the required 144K/pa.
