Pending status .. haha .. well, true .. they are not in a rush .. but I am .. need to get a pigeon hole ASAP .. renting is not feasible in a long run .. crazy hdb prices coming up ..

Likely they will still offer u ba .. very unlikely they gonna kick u out .. ure rich to pay taxes .. haha

Well, if they don't, they gonna lose a huge chunk of cpf..why would they want that? Haha

You have 1,000,000 SGD in your CPF account, while my uncle has less than 250K.

My uncle only studied until Form 3. He has little CPF as he works as a driver. He got his PR in 2002(around that era) and can still renew it until now.
That time,PR is issued to you and ask you want or not..

No need apply one...

Guys, my status is still pending but with 4 lines. I was informed that 4 lines is an indication of my application is being processed. Is this true? And, there's an in-principal approval number under my CPF. Anyone can confirm this?

Is it true? Haha .. but it seems I do have a CPF account linked to my in principle approval reference, not sure how it works.

Yeah sure. Six months of waiting. Time to get myself a pigeon hole .. haha

No, I don't. But how long have they been married? I have been staying with my wife since I came. So, both of us are registered under the same address for years.

Yes, that was also my concern. I was only married for about half a year, along with 2 months payslip when I applied for my PR. Fortunately, I hit all the rest in the checklist with my wife being my sponsor, likely to have spurred my chances

Now they both own GCBs

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?

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

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.

**Subject: Inquiry on the Status of Singapore Permanent Residency Application**

Dear Sir/Madam,

I hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. My name is [Your Full Name], and I am writing to kindly inquire about the status of my Singapore Permanent Residency application, which was submitted on [date of submission].

It has been over a year since I submitted my application, and I have not yet received the update on its status. I fully understand and appreciate the detailed and meticulous review process that the ICA undertakes to ensure the integrity and quality of Permanent Residency approvals.

For your convenience, my application details are as follows:

- **Name:** [Your Full Name]

- **Date of Birth:** [Your Date of Birth]

- **Nationality:** [Your Nationality]

- **Application Reference Number:** [Your Application Reference Number]

I understand that the application process can take some time, and I appreciate the thorough review process carried out by the ICA. However, I would be grateful if you could provide me with an update on the current status of my application

I am very keen to contribute to Singapore's vibrant community and economy, and I am eagerly awaiting the opportunity to do so as a Permanent Resident.

Thank you very much for your time and attention to this matter. I sincerely appreciate your assistance and look forward to your response.

Yours faithfully,

[Your Full Name]

I heard it will prompt the officer to process the application a bit faster.
My friend did the same thing, and just two weeks later, it was approved.

Just saw the PR Facebook group
Now REP also very scary....

My friend and I currently rent an HDB common room that is very near to the MRT and my workplace.

My friend and I each pay SGD 500 per month for this HDB room.
However, my friend and I are now planning to buy a condo together for around RM 500,000 - RM 600,000 at Danga Bay.
Maybe 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms unit.
Or 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms unit.
If we use our rental amount to pay the monthly installment for the condo at danga bay, we will eventually own the condo together.

This means we will both have 50% ownership of the condo.

I don't believe that staying in Singapore or Johor will affect your PR approval.

Factors such as age, current job, company size, salary, education, country of birth(romours), and bank savings are what I know can affect PR approval.

May I know what is your sector?

So less work time....
I work 12 hours shift....

Those are auxiliary polices, handled by private hires. The Singapore police force is reserved for Singaporeans only, even PR are ineligible for it.

Singapore is a country that depends mostly on talents to build the country, and 3D jobs that are handled by low skilled workers.

At the same time they gave too many PR back in the days, hence they are more reserved nowadays, even to the point of not renewing your PR if you're not staying in Singapore. Perhaps the main factor stemming from the younger generation complaining that the government is taking too many foreign talents that kinna steal their job.

Back in the days, getting an EP was rather a simple process, all you need is to check the salary criteria. EP has no quota, hence the abuse. Now, it's a different story, salary is just a part of it, there are several criteria that may overshadow salary for eligibility. S-pass, on the other hand, has a quota, many are afraid that they may not be able to renew their pass and are forced to leave the job. So, getting a PR is the most secure route for most. At the same time, it is the hardest to get now. S-pass enables you to apply for PR but usually placed under the lowest priority. The good news is, Malaysians are usually at the front of the list, likely due to culture and when we leave, we can't withdraw our CPF, unless you have reached your retiring age.

You can renew for another 5 years before deciding, to take or not. But, it seems to be the case nowadays after reading more on these. Age seems to play an essential role too. Old age >> not in sg >> revoke. They don't want people to treat sg as a 2nd home, rather their only home. Isn't your wife a citizen? Perhaps you could tag onto her by then?
