more than that... i used to pay 550 for maid salary, and 260+ for levy(IIRC), and provide her with accomodation and food of course.

How long u been here ?

Frankly speaking, nobody knows, because ICA doesn't publish acceptance criteria, and most of the time doesn't give reasons for rejection.

Last time in 2012 when I applied, common logic was that EP holders work 2 years then apply PR got good chance of acceptance.

But I've never heard of different times / particular months within the year better chance of approval

the criteria most probably
i. high salary
ii. high education
iii. msian
iv. work for how long

but if u have the first 2 super high,i think approve dman fast ba

Singapore is one of the countries in the world where you can 'buy' your way to citizenship.

With USD2.5 mil, you get immediate PR

Many people. Especially fresh grads

My case, start work in SG on April 2014, ROM in SG on NOV 2015, submit PR application (Spouse under my application, so two ppl applying) on NOV 2015, June 2016 approve.

I'm 26 YO and my wife 25 YO.

Rumors said, below factor will increase your chance:

1) Age: the younger the easier you get PR, singapore is facing ageing population issue cuz low birth rate... so they love young talent who can work long time to contribute SG economy and of course CPF

2) Married and spouse working in SG: The chance of you will build family in SG is very high, for your next generation future, and yes, singapore love baby, this will lead to first factor.

3) Qualification, salary, job industry, company: With good education(Degree), decent salary (able to feed family in SG), great job with good prospect (IT, engineer, development, research, medical and etc), good company (company with bad financial condition will affect because you are highly kena lay off or company shut down you will lose job, gov don't want to feed you)

4) Nationality, Race: people who are easier to adapt to SG culture will get PR easier. Malaysian (Chinese), Bruneian (Malay, Chinese), Indonesian (Chinese) are easier to get PR than Indian, Pinoy, Burmese, Vietnam, PRC and other third world country...

is it really hard to get EP pass nowdays ? My recruitment agency told me they are unable to process my application for ep pass at the moment due to SG goverment new rules etc.

Agency will apply work permit pass for me and after three months agency will submit application for EP pass.

Is that sound okay ? What is the disadvantages holding a work permit instead of EP pass for malaysian ?

I'm planning to stay at JB and ride a bike to singapore. Anyone can give me some insight how's the trafffic at second link tuas compare to woodlands causeway ? My office location at dell SG.

i thought the new ep min salary 3.6 is valid starting next year jan

the salary they offer me is higher than the current ep min salary. so I'm wondering why they want me to use work permit first instead of EP pass

so did you get the job ?

is not the recruitment agency to help u apply

is the company tat hire u will do it for u

if recruitment tell u so, it jus some bs excuse, maybe the position aldy taken etc , so dun waste ur time waiting

Yes, i got the job. Already received the offered letter and they asking me to fill up the work permit application form.

Actually i will be working permanently under the agency payroll and they outsource me to dell.

well tis is the case then u r right

ep become so hard to apply ah

nowdays, seems no mentioned on P2 & P1 salary scale. no such already??

6 yrs ago when I first come even got p3 if remember correctly
