PR Application Suggestion

[speedbird]

Hi,

Profile:
Profession: Software Engineer in SG-based IT company (Temasek firm)
Age: Nearing 30
Race/Nationality: Indian
Pass: EP
Salary: $90k/yr
Education: BTech from India, MTech from NUS
Stay in SG: 3yrs
Marital Status: Single, no family in SG
Income Tax: 2

I have been considering applying for PR for the second time this year in July 2022. The previous application was back in Mar 2021, and unsuccessful in July 2021.

I have another job offer which I accepted with better pay in another Temasek firm, where I will tentatively start around Oct 2022. Salary is $125k/yr

Aware of racial quotas, but I wish to get PR as I desire to settle in SG eventually.

Should I apply with the details of my current employer and send an update to the PR application once I join the new job, or wait to join the new job and apply through the new employer only?

Thanks in advance for your input!

Wait till you have 3 full year of tax returns and then apply. If your last rejection was July 2021, better to reattempt after Jul 2023. Try moving your basic salary close to 10K by then if possible.

You apply now, or apply immediately after getting your new job, confirm reject one.

You will be donating your $100 to Singapore.

Your Positives:
- Good salary
- Degree from local Uni

Possible things pulling you down:
- Less than 3 years of tax payment/residence

I would suggest joining the new job and then applying. Waiting a bit longer for 3 years to complete, and getting stable at the new job.
