Depends on who you are. You can get PR the moment you step into the country, if you are what they want. On the other hand, if you are not what they want even 30 years of tax filings wont help.Tracymor wrote:Applied in 15 months?

Three years actually, but yeah. After six months of being here on an EP, you can apply for PR. Based on your overall profile, they may approve or deny your application even if you are missing other qualifications (such as three years of tax assessments). That said, it isn't a point system either, and there is no guaranteed set of criteria that will get you approved. You could be a Chinese-Malaysian couple with Ivy League PhDs making $50k/month and have four young boys and they may turn you down if they so decided.Tracymor wrote:Applied in 15 months?

Depends on the PR scheme you're applying under? You're probably referring to Landed PR, which was discontinued. Perhaps you still can under Family Ties, but it isn't probably difficult. Unless you're a big 'somebody' marrying a PRC Party Princess-ling, I wouldn't count on it.katbh wrote:In the 'old days' you could apply for PR before you came to Singapore. Still can?
As noted, the LPR scheme has been discontinued. However, up to three years ago, depending on a lot of things that we can only surmise, it is possible to obtain a Family Ties PR before arriving. Our regular, Saint, is one such who did just that. His wife is Singaporean Chinese and he is British (he can't help it - wasn't his fault). Probably wouldn't work for a Bangladeshi marrying a Singaporean Malay girl though. Although I have seen stranger.katbh wrote:In the 'old days' you could apply for PR before you came to Singapore.

They did ask for the past two years assessment. Since I was unable to provide, they asked for my social security number and requested permission to contact IRS (in USA) to get my previous years tax returns. They were not willing to take a copy from me. They wanted official copies from the IRS and I guess that is why they asked for my SSN.Tracymor wrote:Applied in 15 months?
