After 3 years , but I think after 1-2 years you can start applying . Last time , like 10 years ago , my friends apply after working for few month only and she get it within 1-2 month . Not like now have to wait so long

But if you are high pay , the pr process will be faster it seems , those earning 8-10k , get approved in 3 months

Thanks for the advise. Are you single or married?

Congrats,

First, wait for the IPA letter, it will sent to your address (in PR application)

Second, mail the medishield declaration form (attached in letter) to CPF (https://www.cpf.gov.sg/Assets/members/Documents/FORM_MSLHD.pdf)

Third, wait for the acknowledgement letter from CPF (This might take two weeks or more, i still waiting until now vmad.gif  vmad.gif i mailed on 9 JULY) After received, go book your PR formalities appointment via E-appointment (https://eappointment.ica.gov.sg/ibook/index.do)

Fourth, after book, go to complete medical checkup for HIV and X-RAY, give the EP152 form to your HR to prove you still working in current company (in PR application)

Last, go to ICA to complete your formalities... I havent reach here rclxub.gif

my $1300/mth living expenses breakdown :-

weekdays breaky - $4; lunch -$5 & dinner -$5 =$14*22=$308
weekdays transport - provided
weekends feel-good (all-in) - $80*4=$320
room rental/mth - $450
phone/mth - $56
groceries, etc/mth - $160

total $1300

p/note-this is living expenses (comfortably living to me) while, cumulate bigger % on saving/bonus payout, not salary drawn.

I thought your take home nett $1300. Now I know it is expenditure.

To the rest, I do agree the basic expenses will cost about $1200, which is about comfortable level.
If $900 and below u probably just working machine, eat sleep work and repeat. With minimal outing and misc. expenses.
So to save and bring money back home, I think its best to have take home nett $1500 at least, although bargain power is less cause u need compete with other countries e.g. Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam, China etc. But u must also able to save and live comfortably, otherwise its better in KL or MY as at least u are local citizen with certain privileges such as hospital, clinic etc (SG medical fees is one of most expensive in the world, aside from US *Unless u are fully covered by company*). If there is no pulling factor or career/personal future plan I don't seems to find it attractive to come and work here. And of course family should be included into consideration as well.

Happy to see many people earning decent here smile.gif

Ya, found out early on that going private is the most practical way to go, which means shoe box units or small two bedroom units outside the central CBD area.
