Hi,

Achieved manga cum laude/distinction in all my degrees.
I have co-authored 4 peer-reviewed academic journals too.
Length of stay in SG: 4.5 years by mid 2023 (I came to SG in Jan 2019 for my masters and been here since then)
Pass type: EP (Issued Jan 2022, I was on students pass before this)
Occupation: Data Visualization Manager (Analytics role)

You have a huge competition ahead of you. This is the 7.5% population pool with a ton of EP holders applying.

Quite strong education background. However, PSB Academy study is not the same as a local degree. So those will probably be seen as foreign education. You travelled quite a bit!

The research probably doesn't hold much weight at your circumstances. Usually the dissertations you have to do add up, quite common.

The length of stay would be good. However, you may want to wait till you pay 3 years of full time income derived income taxes.

Your salary is honestly on the low side, especially considering your double masters degrees. Indian EP holders vastly outweigh you on this.

This really doesn't mean anything to them unless you're an honorable position holder. Simply being a member doesn't add too much weight.

Just my 2 cents! Not an immigration expert.

Close to zero chance.

Reasons:
1) only 1.5 year stay
2) salary is on the low side
3) many applicants of the same race
4) single

You can't change reason 3, so change reasons 1,2,and 4 and you stand a better chance.

Work experience in other countries that isn’t Singapore holds no water for PR application. They want to see how long you’ve worked in Singapore for a continuous period of time.

Peer review journals also has zero value unless you’re looking for a job in academia. Plenty of PhD holders apply for PR too and fail to get PR so journal papers clearly doesn’t help.

Wait till you have 3 income tax assessments in Singapore then apply. Don’t over-embellish your profile either as a lot of the time, it doesn’t work at all. ICA isn’t school, stellar accomplishments won’t impress them. ICA is looking for people who want to sink roots here.
