you maybe right .. from what I know Work Pass (i.e. for Maids) is barred from marrying without permission from MOM - not that MOM is happy to hand out permission !!!Jawo wrote:Dear ksl,
I have read some research on past posting, did i miss out that S pass needs to seek permission to get married ? my Gf is currently on S pass with monthly income of $2k, im on $5k. i thought only WP needs permission ?
You are right that it only applies to work pass holders I believe, but think of it as a matter of procedure as foreign quotas maybe implemented for immigration point of view, use the data for your own expectations. It's more of a matter of being polite and collecting data on any restrictions like foreign quotas, this gives you an opportunity to ask the people that maybe in the know and the more you are informed the less likely your frustrations will be.Jawo wrote:That is why me and my partner did thought of Rom first. than we apply for PR, and hoping this will guranteed my partner PR application. cause i heard of ppl telling us if we get married. the PR application will be more confirm. but this option will have to wait till we are married than.
The other option will be applying for PR before marriage, but this will need to be subject to approval, if approved, we can book for bto and prep marriage happily but if rejected, will need to wait 1 year or so to reapply again.
So was wondering which way should i go ?
Btw, im a chinese and my partner is a malaysian chinese.
Will the change of circumstance add 2 more years waiting if they marry? They need to know because they want to buy HDB. Though the person as already been here 2 years. So PR application maybe better now rather than ROM , then wait the 6 months and see, that may save them 18 months waiting, as i'm afraid if they marry, the PR will be delayed due to changimng circumstance, to rule out a marriage of conveniencesundaymorningstaple wrote:Nope. You don't need any permission from the MOM to get married. In fact, I would wait until you have ROM'd to apply for him to apply for PR. As he is currently here on an EP, his qualifications are already sussed out. By waiting until you ROM, he will then qualify for PR both ways, for the Professional Technical Scheme as well as the Family Ties Scheme. And, as mentioned, if he's Malaysian Chinese, it will probably be a shoe-in.

The OP is Singaporean, and his partner is S Pass, Malaysian. Then again, the regular rules that applies to everybody doesn't apply to Malaysians marrying Singaporeans ..sundaymorningstaple wrote:Nope. You don't need any permission from the MOM to get married.

I'm confused. As I read it he (the OP) is SGn-Chinese, she is Malaysian-Chinese, and on an S-Pass.sundaymorningstaple wrote:Nope. You don't need any permission from the MOM to get married.

i was thinking of this option as i was told by many ppl the PR chances will be double as well after we ROM, not sure if it is true and i did not thought of the marriage of convenience if it applys to us ?Nope.

If she is elgible after 2 years which she is, and if the vetting clears her, and she is still within the quota for the year, there is no reason to refuse. However it will take 6 months, and the elections are over on the 7th of May, so my own opinion would be for her to submit for PR...I'm worried that is she gets married, her circumstances change and she may have to wait another two years. But a quick call to ICA should sort that out.Jawo wrote:Dear folks,

If to apply PR first without ROM, what will be the chances of Success ? what do ICA base on for approval ?
