Some maths:offshoreoildude wrote:Gaaargh - solar cells and clean energy in Singapore? Nope. No need madam. (yeah yeah I know there's a bit of it here but it's tiny compared to the other stuff going on).
Base chance 100%
race -70%
NO Male Kid -10%
Salary -20%
NO P1 -20%
I will be very surprised (happily though) if you could get a PR in current conditions

Re: Chances of getting PR
Considering your qualifications are under utilized and your husband can work from anywhere really I would look for a better job elsewhere and leave Singapore.Science1 wrote:Hi All,

Doctor has high chance of getting PR, Singapore is short of medical professionals and they are trying hard to attract oversea doctors here so I would say may get PR or citizenship very fast. But please do not abuse the system and move to US after getting your PR, enough has been done to damage Indian migrants reputation everywhere, if they keep seeing people abusing the system, they may completely stop granting Indian PR or citizenship and that is very bad for others.greymatter wrote:Hi all,

I stumbled into another expat forum (but for several countries. Most posts were by Indians and Pakistanis asking how to get certifications and stuff so they can migrate.offshoreoildude wrote:There's no way of stopping them....lolipop99 wrote: But please do not abuse the system and move to US after getting your PR, enough has been done to damage Indian migrants reputation everywhere, if they keep seeing people abusing the system, they may completely stop granting Indian PR or citizenship and that is very bad for others.
"A quokka is what would happen if there was an anime about kangaroos."
Yet another 'what are my chances of getting PR' question.
I had a lengthy discussion with the third party company we use here for payroll, employment passes, visa's etc. They are a pretty big organisation handling some major companies.
They didn't have any better knowledge than is on this forum. The basic summary was that any appliaction will be at the mercy of the Government and there is no way to predict the outcome.
There are things we can do to improve our channces. I think I have seen it elsewhere on this forum. Writing a substantial letter with all the reasons why one wants to live in Singapore and what one can offer Singapore by being PR is highly recommended. Having paid some tax is also advisable.
I am 51 years old with no degree education. However this third party said that in my favour is that I have been employed by the same company for almost 13 years (mostly in the UK), I have a senior position whereby I can influence company growth here and I have a high salary. They suggested I wait until next April when I will have been on EP for 1 year and paid some tax then apply and cross my fingers and toes!!
