QUOTE(xtylish @ Oct 29 2013, 09:55 AM) To be eligible for PR, you need an work pass ( P, Q or S ) for the "workers" category. Other categories are Investors/Entrepreneurs and spouses of citizens and PR.Since you mentioned company, you should be applying under the "workers" category. The company plays a critical role in your PR application because the company will be filling up the Annex A to Form 4A. It is a one page form with questions about the company and your job that your company will answer. Please note, however, the company in filling up Annex A does NOT mean the company is sponsoring you. |

If I'm not mistaken, you need a referral letter from your previous employer too. I remember requesting for that when I applied for mine. Not too sure if your previous is not based in singapore though.

Annex A, as the name itself is self explanatory, is not crucial

Not much different if you are single , If you are married with kids, then the PR makes a lot of sense in terms or education for you kids, medication, childcare center. |
