application of PR through singaporean spouse
Hi all,
I am a Chinese lady, who has been working in Singapore for about 4 years. Have only paid 2 times income tax. My monthly income is approx 1.8k.
Will be getting married to a singaporean one week later. We are so happy to received the letter from MOM stating that they have no objection regarding our marriage. My husband is 33 years old and earns about 5.7k a month. Graduate in NTU.
I would like to know what are the chances of getting a PR.
Thank u, please share with me what are the chances of me getting a PR.
If any one has been through this pleae share it with me. Thank u.

maybe in three years. It will take at least 2 years of marriage before ICA will "possibly" be convinced that the marriage is not one of convenience. So, after you get married, you are going to have to be on an LTVP for a couple of years before you apply for PR. To inhance you chances, you should have at least one child within the first couple of years as well to prove you want a "family" in Singapore.

How long more is your WP? Stay with your WP as long as you can after you get married. If your WP renewal is rejected, just have your husband apply LTVP for you. Once you hit the timeline/conditions like what SMS said, apply for PR.

Hi morning, able i able to look for for my own job after i have LTVP. This WP has been restraining me from looking for my desired job.sundaymorningstaple wrote:maybe in three years.

Does holding on to a job with my WP, increase the chances of getting PR?Mi Amigo wrote:LTVP+ could theoretically be possible in this case, correct? Although whether it would be granted immediately after the marriage is probably doubtful, so Lynx's advice to stay on the WP for a while sounds sensible.

6 more months for the next renewal. U mention about timeline/conditions, could u explain further?

If you eventually get a LTVP+ then you would be able to work with that. But as has been commented above, you would not get that for 2-3 years.Zhang1511 wrote:Hi morning, able i able to look for for my own job after i have LTVP. This WP has been restraining me from looking for my desired job.

As you won't be able to get a LTVP+ for at least a couple of years, and PR will also be unlikely in that time, then your best option would seem to be to carry on with your WP and for your employer to try to get it renewed when it expires in 6 months.Zhang1511 wrote:6 more months for the next renewal.
