Re: PR Application - what are my chances?
1) Get married (ROM in Singapore)
2) Knock out a couple of kids, male variety are best
3) Register kids as Singapore Citizens
4) Wait at least 2 years after ROM
5) Apply for PR
6) Wait at least 6 months for outcome
BTW, why do you want to become PR?

Re: PR Application - what are my chances?
thx for the reply
qn - so are you saying that with my particulars and situation, it's highly improbable i'd get PR after marriage?
i'm assuming a PR will increase my chances of employment given the hassles of needing to sponsor some body.
i've been applying while based in australia and have had no luck so i'm assuming not being on the ground and not having a PR is a factor.
my fiance and i do not intend to have kids for a few years yet.

Take a look at the link below which is the LTVP+. Even this pass you will only be able to apply after a few years of marriage so applying for PR straight after ROM really isn't an option.

I believe you should be able to work on dependent pass + letter of consent basis, but even that has been getting a bit more difficult.
Being on the ground is a very big factor here in general, since the market is very competitive. If you put yourself in a company's shoes, why would they interview somebody from abroad when they get 100+ applications here (of which a couple are actually suitable)?

many thanks for the info^^
so that is to say i'd 100% be denied if i was to apply straight up?
i thought my and my fiances educational background/income profile would make use desirable residents?
also is there any harm in applying ie do failed attempts harm future chances?

I would suggest after you've ROM is to take a trip to the ICA armed with Marriage Cert, Degree Certs, Payslip etc and have an imformal chat with the PR department. They will probably give you an indication whether you should apply straight away or wait.azreal8888 wrote:many thanks for the info^^

thanks!
no harm in trying if future applications are not adversely affected.
i'll give it a try and apply for LTVP at the same time so i can join my wife once we're husband and wife.
my assumption was that on the merits of my partner and i, I would fit the profile of desirable applicant.

I don't work for ICA and this is no way a guaranteed outcome, but there's no harm applying
All the best
