I’m no Forrest Li…. But I started as a house officer sleeping on a mattress laid on the floor of a rented room.

And, in addition to investment properties both residential and commercial in Singapore, Australia and New Zealand, home is now a freehold landed detached house in the core central region of Singapore (all thanks to my wife who took up Singapore citizenship 20 years ago).

So, yes, it can definitely happen.

Wanna check if I'm on Spass
My wife and baby is in Msia
Does it help when I apply PR?
Or my wife must hv job in SG and baby must be in SG as well?

I'm 5th mth in SG now
do I submit PR application or wait at least a year only higher chance?

Haha yeah .. but maybe I have working record 5 years back ba .. duno is that counted.

If your wife is working in sg, yes. You apply as a whole family. But, alone S-pass may be a little hard especially you have only worked 5 months. You can start applying by the 6th month? It may be a little hard as some forumers here have applied about a year, and yet to get any reply thus far.

It's hard(er) but not impossible for S pass holders to get PR now. I heard from my barber (ok, ok, he prefers to be called a hairstylist) that they are now required to demonstrate Singapore-issued diplomas to boost their chances.

Do you have any Singapore issued qualifications?

I have been working in Singapore for 9 years already. It has been 1 year since I applied for Singapore Permanent Residency (PR), but I have not received any updates yet.
(Just show 2 line )

I hope to receive a positive outcome by the end of this month or early next week.

Why didn't you apply earlier then? You could have gotten earlier then? I have always been an EP holder prior to this. So that could possibly be the game changer for me.

Transitioning from a work permit to an S Pass is proving to be challenging. In sectors like maintenance, technical, manufacturing, or assembly, many small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) tend to limit the number of S Passes they issue or just said their quota not enough (cheat), either due to quotas or salary considerations.

But now, despite the difficulties, I can see some light at the end of the tunnel.

My wife will not come here SG soon since our initial plan is, I work in SG she helps take care our baby until my job stable and get SPR

No but i will take any chance to increase my chances knowing their requirements getting higher than before

Good on you! That’s the spirit. Improve your chances by improving your skillset. All the best bro!

Ah OK .. maybe you will get some results soon .. haha

Frankly, I'm still waiting since they have yet to issue the letter. Just from hearsay, if you can update medisafe on cpf website >> confirmed getting. On the other hand, on the ICA web, you can reapply >> your PR is rejected. Not sure is it true or not. Getting all these from xhs.

Hard but doesn't mean no chance at all. Depending on your qualification and niche of your job. If you're an accountant, finance, sales, IT, etc, chances is quite low; while these jobs are highly demanded, they can easily be filled anytime.

I believe the criteria is more on the scope of your job rather than the pass you're holding.

Aiyo… don’t worry bro. Relax and enjoy the final few days of waiting before the good news arrives formally.

Haha .. in fact I have been chilling with my wife the whole day today. Took a break, went for a stroll around the mall, had our dinner. Seems to be a great day today.

They need to attend the course or just take exam?

They know all the skill already wor

I didn’t check. After all, he’s the one trying to apply for PR, not me…

Yes my PR is approved. Just received a confirmation this morning. It seems the ques were indeed true.

Wow! That's amazing news, buddy! You'll love it in Singapore.

It's like winning the golden ticket in the residency lottery! 🎉👍👍👍

I hope you will enjoy all the museums like the Peranakan Museum, Sun Yat Sen Museum, Istana Open House, ...... as PR is free or cheaper than foreigners' ticket prices.




May I know if it's through SMS, paper letters, or SingPass notifications?
