Grats!

It's about 2 weeks from the day you get the formality done.

For photo, anything will do. I used a random photo that i took 4 years ago but they didn't check. Basically, the same photo as my driving license. If you want to look good on your ic can always go for professional photo. Haha.

Thank you! Just wondering - for Singpass stuff I will have to re-enroll right? It's not automatic from what I've read? As well as banks etc.

Yes, everything has to restart. They will send you a singpass activation code in about a week or 2. You have to update ur bank details etc, which I have yet to do it .. mainly I have been procrastinating the whole time. Haha

Do we need to provide our Singapore PR IC number to the singapore bank?

I thought Malaysians use their Malaysian IC number to open a bank account in singapore,but not a work pass ID.


My DBS bank, OCBC bank, and Maybank savings accounts in Singapore all use my Malaysian IC number to open.

Yes you have to.

I was using my FIN to open back then, or passport. I don't rmb using my IC coz I didn't have it with me back then.

Anything related to sg u have to update them. Even driving license. So troublesome

Better update so that you just need to show Spore IC for any transactions that require identification.

My PR application has been pending for 18 months…

Should i follow up with ICA or just wait….

You can try to send a email to them...

No harm sending them a nudge. TS did and he’s now a PR

TS manyak uang… in many banks hahaha

Follow up ba .. likely under the waiting list ..

Haha TS is seriously rich .. I rmb him saying he had quite some fund in FD ..

My friend got an offer of salary SGD 4000 to work remotely in Malaysia, so I think it should be under S pass, he is wondering if he can apply for PR if he remotely under this S pass? Thanks

I think our gomen doctors given a chance don't want to treat these kind of rubbish people. Seriously if one of the few gov sector Malaysian should be more appreciative is the medical sector. Unlike most gomen sector teh tarik type most of them you stay at the service as specialist genuinely want to do good.

Even remote working also possible even though with S pass?

ICA never mention that S Pass or Employment Pass holder that work remote cannot apply PR.


They never control so much....

If he has a residential address in singapore. Back in the days those living in malaysia could get PR but since the game has changed, likely they will not issue a PR if you're staying outside of Singapore despite employed in singapore. After all, PR stands for permanent resident. If you're not staying in Sg you're not even a resident to begin with.

I have some colleagues who recently got Singapore PR. They commute daily from JB to SG for work and do not stay in Singapore.

How long did they work before they can get the PR? May I know what type of pass they holding? Thanks
