P2 to SPR

yibs · Post by **yibs** » Tue, 06 Dec 2011 12:08 pm

Hi Everyone,

The main purpose of this thread is to see if there is someone out there who was/is P2 holder and has submitted/is in progress of lodging their SPR application right after being granted P2.

What's the result? Does anyone have their SPR approved?

Cheers!

Why? Nobody is the same. What worked for one will not necessarily work for another even if you educational qualifications are exactly the same.

I understand. The reason behind is because it is stated on ICA website that one could submit SPR application for consideration as soon as they have been granted P, Q, or S passes. However, it sounds contradictory that it requires last 6 months tax reports in the past 3 years.

They are just trying to see who has common sense or not.

Like it says, it is 'for consideration' so it doesn't mean that you are on automatic route to get SPR once you have the employment passes. Having said that, last 6 months tax reports in the past 3 years will give an added edge to applicant because it shows to the government that you're serious about staying permanently...

I only have High School certificate/diploma. Would that be any issue in the future application?

Of course it does and your ethnicity plays a part too.

The current demographic of the population will translate into the numbers of PR and citizenship application approve every year
Socio Economic and Political Stability is a key part in deciding who gets in and gets out.
Education, salary, race, marital status, family tree are the key ingredient in this process.

How about a married couple of Indonesian Chinese and one of my siblings is SPR? Would this improve my chances?

You have a good chance. Give it a try. Not saying you are a shoe-in, but you've got a better chance that a lot of others out there.

Thanks SMS for such encouraging message. But I still don't have that guts to apply since only been living in SG for about a month. I can't provide 6 months payslips and 3 years notice of tax assessment... Pretty sad actually.
