Hi all
Recently, I received a letter from the ICA stating that my application spnsoring my aged parents for PR status was not being considered but they continue to stay on the Long term visit passes issued to them.
Can anybody here advise me whether I am allowed to re-apply / or appeal against the decision? What would be the best way to appraoch this issue in terms of eventually obtaining PR status for my parents?
Thanks in advance to all

Do you have any other siblings who are not in Singapore? If so, that is probably the reason your parents were rejected.

Thank you sundaymorningstaple
I have a sister who is married and living in India away from my parents. However, I am the only son and have taken the responsibility to take care of my parents.
Thats my situation at the moment. However, am I allowed to either re-apply or appeal against the decision ? What elase can I do to ensure I am able to successfully apply for PR for my parents ?
Thanks

There is no benefit to SG Gahmen for giving PR to your aged parent. In fact it will be a burden on the health system. It is hard but this is a fact
Thus ICA reply that they can stay under LTSVP. You cannot reapply as this is a dead end for your parents application

I am afraid that MS has nailed it. There is also the knock on effect as well. Long Term Visit Pass is about as far as you are going to get. Reapplying with the same information will not do anything whatsoever.

OK...Understand
But I am unable to understand that why does ICA encourage SG Citizens to apply for PR, under the category "Aged parents of a SG Citizen" when what you have said is true ?
In fact, while applying for PR, I notice that the application form is different from the regular PR apllication category. It is a simple 4 page form to be filled up ?
I also took note of what SMS wrote in his response that nothing's gonna change if the same information goes if i re-apply. What kind of changes in the information provided would ICA like to see in order to enable them to re-consider their decision?....curious to know.
Thanks

If ICA told us that, then they would received tailor-made applications wouldn't they. We do know, however, that applications or appeals made with the submission of the same information does not fly. It just aggravates them. What is relevant new information? Good question. The interpretation of the criteria changes periodically so as to be in line with the current direction of the government. Even if you meet ALL the criteria, that still doesn't mean you will be successful. The criteria is just a guideline, not an assurance of success if you meet it.
At least they are allowing you LTVP's. They don't have to do even that. You should be thankful.

Cruel, but true ..
A friend applied LTVP for his mother and wife + kid
wife + kid got 1 year LTVP
Mother got 5 years ... and when He asked ICA if he can get the mother on PR, the answer had been evasive and hinted towards 'what benefit will she have on PR vs LTVP' ...
I could infer nothing and my friend said the same .. he was thankful the aged mother got LTVP ..

This my friend is called selective process. You cast a wider net and try to select the best of the lot.

That's an easy one. Goes back to my early response. They cannot sponsor all the family siblings while on LTVP. The son cannot sponsor siblings but the parents can......
ICA is already wise to that crap.
