For real? I thought PEP is just like an EP+, which can't be fully "considered" as a "parameter" to get a PR.zzm9980 wrote:Get a PEP then.

When the PEP was initially launched around 5 years ago it was to be a stepping stone to PR. Unfortunately, it was, like most things here, abused by the EP holders as nothing more than a long term LTVP so they didn't have to worry about leaving the country once their job was lost to a local. However, the requirement are approximately that which would be required for PR, so it's a good "test" application that will not have any adverse effects on your EP or a future PR application. Other than the fact that it would say, an noted, you wouldn't be an acceptable applicant for PR.

With banks moving IT jobs to India and Poland, what use would a PR be to Indians anyways, as it is the market is so tiny here. Its only going to shrink further.

It makes sense to me. India will be less expensive, and give almost the same quality as you get in Singapore. Poland will give you a much higher quality work force, and I can't imagine costs would be much higher than Singapore. Plus, same/close time-zone to Zurich.revhappy wrote:There you go!

Thanks for all the insights on the topic and would like to have the advice from the members whether should I apply for a PEP as am definitely interested in a long term in Singapore. I also heard there are some downfalls of PEP as it is not renewable and in that case what happens after 5 years if approved.

If you're not a PR in 5 years and you're still working here, your company applies for an EP for you.
