Funny, why do you worry about serving NS at the age of 31 ? First generation PRs dont' go through NS, especially if they are above the NS age .. unless they are children of PR.darpy wrote:the reason I dont get PR is because I would have to serve National Service (I have already looked into this).
I also considered the possibility that the rejection is due to the fact I dont work, but if that were true it would make the whole point of a dependents pass redundant as I would then have to apply for an EP (you can get a DP for upto 10 years, so there must be alot here possibly living and not working).
The reason I mention the PhD is because I hear from the government often that they want educated people here and want them to have children, which is exactly why my wife and I returned here.
also, we have rental property here that generates passive income, so this should be considered income for their purposes i would imagine.

31 male Singapore wife, already looked into NS, got to be flagged on entry I would think, no sign of PR application so he's obviously avoiding the possibility of NS. PhD are 2 a penny without experience, it's been the Chinese craze for years to take a PhD without any work experience at all.
You say you are Australian Citizen, but your race is also a factor to take into account, imagine if you are North KoreanAlarm bells would ring for sure ICA all of a sudden becomes the CIA
at 31 you think you are old ?? dang .. at my age, I should be ancient, never mind SMS and others (antique ??? )darpy wrote: In the end I spoke to someone who handles this, and he informed me that I would have to go for a couple of weeks a year, and being an older foreigner, they would just assign me a desk job.
Living on rental income is not considered proof of your financial independence .. as a former employer of mine, from my country found out ..further, as we can prove my financial independence, I dont see why it is relevant to a decision on my visa whether my lifestyle choice is bent toward working.
Of course they would have said you would be called up every year but I never heard of it actually happening. I never called up and I know a few PRs under family ties early 30s and they've never been called up for 2 week's desk job.darpy wrote:trust me, I have looked into this and spoken to many many people about the PR and NS thing, as it would have solved all the issues.

They used to have the idea of engineering the society via this kind of "genetic" approach but firstly, I am not sure whether this is still the case and secondly I am not sure if the interracial marriages were ever a part of this. Right now, I would say the demand for highly educated people is to let them to contribute to the economy by the transfer of knowledge. The income comes from your wife (both passive and salared) so you do not contribute any way to the society and economy. I am afraid, regardless your motives, from an external perspective your living in Singapore looks pretty parasitic.darpy wrote:The reason I mention the PhD is because I hear from the government often that they want educated people here and want them to have children, which is exactly why my wife and I returned here.

I'm very surprised at this posting especially from a mod as its saying that quite a few posters on this forum are parasites. According to you when I got my PR I was actually a parasite! And so were a few friends of mine, I'll let them know.x9200 wrote:They used to have the idea of engineering the society via this kind of "genetic" approach but firstly, I am not sure whether this is still the case and secondly I am not sure if the interracial marriages were ever a part of this.
