I would put it in this order for most:hopeislife wrote: ↑Wed, 30 Aug 2023 9:00 pmOne thing i dont really understand from this forum, is why citizens of developed nations want to apply sg pr? Most likely they are not going to convert to SGC, so at least it can be given to those who are more likely to settle here for ever.
#1 - job mobility
#2 - CPF employer contributions
#3 - access to HDB resale flats
#4 - lower ABSD
#5 - lower MOE fees
The rest is typically less compelling, but it depends on individual circumstances. This is why I’ve often said there should be something in-between EP and PR. This could include:
#1 - job mobility
#2 - mandatory SRS contributions
#3 - 30% ABSD instead of 60%
#4 - MOE fees equal to ASEAN-level
There seems to be plenty of room for something in-between, but I suspect it’s not a priority because they want only high flyer expats who can contribute what is needed and get out… and citizen wannabes who have promise and fit the mold, to fill the baby deficit.
I’d suggest anyone caught in-between have a strong plan B.
