The main catch is that you have to already be working in Sg and fulfill the following criteria:
And once you have it:The following groups will be eligible if they had earned a basic salary of at least S$30,000 in the preceding year and fulfilled the minimum work period as follows:
(i) P Pass holders that have at least two years' working experience on a P Pass;
(ii) Q1 pass holders with at least five years' working experience on a Q1 pass; and
(iii) Foreign graduates from institutions of higher learning in Singapore with at least two years' working experience on a P or Q1 Pass.
So I presume this will confer the biggest advantage of PR, being able to swap jobs at will, but be easier to obtain. (That said, I'd been working in Sing for under two years when I received my PR.) I wonder if they're also going to make PR harder to get then?The PEP allows the holder to remain in Singapore for up to six months in between jobs to evaluate new employment opportunities. ... The PEP will be issued only once with a validity of 5 years. It will be non-renewable. A PEP holder will retain the dependant privileges of his original EP type and the minimum annual basic salary requirement of S$30,000 will continue to apply throughout the 5-year duration.
