Not trying to appear like an idiot but obviously I have visited those websites and read most of the procedures and fineprints that I can find. The problem is, the instructions written at these websites do not answer my queries at all.riversandlakes wrote:www.MOM.gov.sg and www.ICA.gov.sg ?
Oh dear, that sounds really sad. I wonder why... why she didn't just go extend her stay. Anyway, I will try to give MOM (not sure why I have to, because MOM will redirect me to ICA) and ICA a call.

I know of someone who is a graduate but even though they were married, she didn't managed to get citizenship and every 6 months, she left for china.
Subsequently he felt it was easier for him to work over there. One possible criteria will be her education background.
Why don't you make an appointment with MOM and get yourself there to find out directly.. do some legwork!
PR isn't normally given until you have been married a few years, you will get LTSVP, probably for the first year or 2, on a 6 month basis...then it will increased to 1 year, until the PR criteria is met, for marriage and residence I'm guessing at 3 years, before she could seek PR and later sing citizenship after 7.liverpool wrote:Thank econoMIC, shall contact officer in ICA for more information.
Hope xq can provide the outcome for his case. Will be a good reference for me.
whatever the limitations are, they're publicly available/known, so don't blame the system (entirely).ksl wrote:Some husbands here, have been sending there wives back home, when they have got tired of the other half, I think a law should be made to protect these unfortunate people from pimps, and others, that are abusing foreign women.
The foreigners have no rights at all in Singapore, so if they have children, the husband can keep the kids, and have the wife repatriated within a very short time, its quite disgusting
I think this goes back to what SMS said in another thread. I personally find it great that PRs had many rights and benefits like citizens, as it promotes an open society. The problem is that this has been abused by far too many people who never considered themselves part of the society and so now the rest of them PRs has to pay the bill. So yes, it is only right to apportion more rights to citizens than PRs for the moment until standards have been tightened and PR doesn't get handed out like candy any more.taxico wrote:whatever the limitations are, they're publicly available/known, so don't blame the system (entirely).ksl wrote:Some husbands here, have been sending there wives back home, when they have got tired of the other half, I think a law should be made to protect these unfortunate people from pimps, and others, that are abusing foreign women.

many relationships have unrealistic expectations/problems to begin with... and if both parties didn't plan in advance, it's nobody's fault but their own.
further, it seems only fair that more rights be apportioned to a citizen than to 'ferners'!
(not that i am happy with how some non singaporeans are treated...)
