There is no minimum but at least 6 months and above as one of required doc is 6 months payslip. From what I heard, Malaysian have higher chance of getting PR compared to other countries as our culture, language, etc are almost the same which is an advantage to assimilate and localise to SG.
Print one side, it does matter. Formal doc should not be in two sided, exception e.g. appendix, glossary etc.
For myself, I submitted few months ago and not even close to one year in SG, result is still pending so can't say its right choice but good luck to me. Haha.
I don't think it works this way. Unless your YE2016 income is less than SGD22k? Otherwise, its mandatory to file your tax return. I saw u mentioned u worked almost a year in SG, assuming 9 months x 2.5k = 22.5k.
Nevertheless, suggest u to read up SG tax and at least basic knowledge, it doesn't work the same as MY tax except the progressive part.

regarding that PR Application, how did you manage to book an e-appointment? when i logged in, it only shows dates available 6 months in advance, and they're always full.... hmm.gif

Thanks for your comment
Yeah. I think it need your employer to fill it up.

my employer intends to impose an unfavourable condition on me (2 year bond) because filling that form up would mean disclosing company confidential information. i do not want to honour that bond. can I submit without the Annex A but with a letter of explanation instead?

Don't forget that once your PR is approved your company need to sign a declaration stating that you are still working with the company. You may want to discuss with your company first whether they will still impose the bond in this case.
*
that will be an awkward discussion, can i just submit my application without Annex A? Will ICA be in contact with my company during the processing period? i worry if they do, and my company knows, they might give me the sack.....

You can submit EP card, payslip as a proof is they don't want to sign the declaration.

I doubt the person processing your application will even accept your application without it
Your explanation to them will make you sound dishonest so why would they

It sounds to me like you're trying to rush things
If you don't like your current company why not find a new job first, and apply once you're there?
PR application is a long process anyway

have been trying, but not successful as of yet. and quite many have the "Singaporeans and PR only" note on their pre-requisites.

No u wont, but u might start look for new job after that..... since you didnt sign that 2 year bond with company tongue.gif

of course i'd like to keep my options open, whether its a new job or going for further studies in another field etc. being tied down for another 2 years is not ideal especially since my current company is quite the struggle in terms of massive workload, shrinking workforce due to high turnover rate and poor remuneration. heck, they force us to stay for at least 7 months into the new year if we want to keep our bonus, otherwise we have to return it.

Hi, i have submitted my PR application in Oct 2017 and it is pending decision till today..

I have just paid my income tax recently and was wondering if its necessary to personally update/inform ICA on this? As previously during my submission date i have not had any tax NOA before so i had none to submit back then.

Hi Everyone,

Recently, HR informed me that I cant renew my EP and will drop to SPass due to unknown reason. My salary already over the current requirement (which is 3600) and I have been working as engineer for 4 years (2 years in Msia and 2 years in SG).

So i would like to ask does this happen to anyone here after MOM introduced the new requirement for EPass? Or is it me only?

And if it happen, what is your next plan? Continue with SPass? Or apply for PR ?

Which engineering field are you in...?

I not sure they provided the same as my current salary or not, but they need to pay around 600+ for the levy.

Is it possible if I apply for PR through online while I'm still EP now till mid of June? Trying my luck now actually.
*
Your EP is until Mid-June but you know status of your renewal now..? When should the employer apply for the renewal? 3 months before due date?

Hi all,
Recently I'm offered to work in Singapore for as engineer with 1 year++ experience. Salary around SGD 2800. Currently I'm paid around MYR 4000. My concern as below. Pls enlighten this kampung boy with high dreams.
1. Does the company deduct levy or any other deduction from the SGD 2800?
2. What is the breakdown for normal Malaysian work at SG in terms of food, accommodation(As i don't think waking up 4am to travel from jb-sg is healthy), misc etc?
3. How SG manufacturing environment is compared to MY?
4. Assume I had saved around SGD 1500. If i save it and convert it monthly do I get 1500 x 2.9?
5. Am I underpaid at SG? because at MY I earn RM4k net pay.
*
1. 2800 is nett take home. as a foreigner, you do not have to contribute to CPF funds or any other stuff.
2. really depends on where you stay, how you eat, how far you have to travel daily. Hawkers are generally cheap.
3. I guess its way more advanced...? no idea on this....
4. depends on how you transfer back, remittance, or money changer or bank. and also depends on MYR-SGD rates, short term, MYR may fall, but over long term, the days of RM 3= SGD 1 may be over.
5. 2.8k for 1-2 years experience i think is slightly below average... just slightly....
