My friend worked for 6 months before applying for PR, and it took 11 months from the application to receive PR approval. He held an S Pass in Singapore at the time.

I believe your friend is a Malaysian right? So he commuted back and forth between johor and Singapore for the whole duration before he apply for PR?

I would say good luck renewing their PR in 5 years time. My uncle was only given a year extension because he commutes daily. Now he rents a place just to renew his PR.

It is compulsory to have Singapore residential address when applying .. did they apply with malaysia address? I doubt so .. maybe they have a relative address to tag to.

Yes

Guy tupang asking
Will it affect PR application if I decide to move to Jb n travel each day, instead of staying in SG now

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

In your case, I think you need to update your address on Singpass and with ICA when you actually move to JB.

How long has it been since you applied for PR?

I actually haven't applied
Been working for 8 mths only
Some said just pay $100 apply, some said wait 1 year after I paid tax only apply
But I think it really base on personal qualifications, experience and maybe some luck

I still want to obtain PR, for CFP, better opportunity when I look for other jobs
But the rent here is killing most of my pay
So I thought of moving out SG and bring my wife n baby come stay together in JB (they are in KL now)

Not sure should I apply PR now before I move to JB will have big impact on my application or not

May I kindly ask if you hold an S Pass or an Employment Pass (EP)
and you are below the age of 40?

Lastly, could you please let me know which sector you work in?


I think you should just apply first. I worked for only 6 months before applying for PR.


I was only holding an S Pass when I joined this new company in September 2023.


It took just 1 year and 1 month for me to get PR.

I started working at this new company in September 2023. I applied for PR in May 2023 and received it in June 2024.

Age below 40 yes, S Pass
Manufacturing, finance staff

I try to gather required supporting doc and apply first
Never try never know..
Congrats to you, happy for you obtain SPR

According to my knowledge, you have a high chance of getting PR.

If your finances are stable, try to put some fixed deposits in a Singapore bank.

If you work in a big MNC, that will also increase your chances.

I hope you can apply before September 2024.

September 2024 plus 6 months equals March 2025.

Some people get PR just 6 months after applying.

Not a wise choice to move to JB and commute daily. It will somehow affect your chance of getting a PR. After all, PR is a Residency pass not a working pass. While there's precedence, does not to equate of you getting it. Maybe those who actually got it used Sg as their corresponding address instead of My. So, if you have a relative in sg you can use their address for it. If you don't, best to stay in sg until you get your PR.

Just apply now since you have worked for more than 6 months. We don't really know what the criteria are. I think they have a certain quota for certain pass to keep a stable community. They need skilled, likewise low to mid skilled workers. From what we been seeing, s-pass may take up to a year to get your PR approved. EP holders usually get the priority. Most I know get it within 6 months from their application.

You should stop this false narration. While they commute daily, we don't know if they have a residential address in sg that they used for their application. You need a Singapore address during application.

https://www.epicaimmigration.com.sg/faq/pr-...0that%20address.

They just need the mailing address.

You can put company address....


The PR approval letter itself was received by email as a soft copy.


After that, I received letters from CPF (informing me about having a CPF account and Medisave Life), a new Singpass password, and Great Eastern insurance.

I then went to ICA for document submission, and about one or two weeks later, I collected my IC at the Singapore Post Office.

These letters will not affect your ability to complete document submission at ICA or collect your IC at the post office.

No.	Criterion	Description
1	Foreign Investor	If you are a foreign investor in Singapore.
2	Student	If you are a student studying in Singapore.
3	Elderly Parent of a Citizen	If you are the elderly parent of a Singapore citizen.
4	Employment Pass (EP) or S Pass Holder	If you hold an EP or S Pass.
5	Unmarried, Under 21, Born in Legal Marriage or Adopted	If you are unmarried, under 21, born in a legal marriage, or adopted by a Singapore citizen or PR.
6	Spouse of PR or Citizen	If you are the spouse of a Singapore PR or citizen.

ICA does not specify a required duration of residence in Singapore before you can apply for PR.

Some Malaysians who studied in Singapore for primary or secondary school (with parents not being Singapore PRs or citizens) have received PR upon completing their O-levels or A-levels with excellent results.


They wake up at 4 AM, enter Singapore by 5 AM, and return to JB by 2 PM, Monday to Friday.

No .. here's a reply from ICA .. you need a residential address.

https://ask.gov.sg/ica/questions/clxwhkiyi00f0dsotcvlrc6ce

You do know that foreign students have to pay international rate right? So you're expecting parents that do not have PR would send the kids to study in singapore?

Anyway, for working, you need to provide 6 months working slip, hence it is not possible to apply PR without those, right?

If you visit JB, you might observe that many individuals from the T20 group reside here.

A visit to Eco World Property commercial area or big shopping malls in jb will provide a clearer view.

In JB, you can find many second-hand car dealers in smaller residential areas selling brands like Toyota Alphard, BMW, and Mercedes-Benz.

If you visit Johor Jaya, you'll see at least 15 car dealerships specializing in these luxury vehicles. The entire street along the highway is lined with second-hand dealers.

You’ll also notice many new Mercedes, BMWs, Lexuses, Audis, Alphards, and Vellfires on JB roads.


Actually, if you live in JB, you would know that in the morning around 4 AM or 5 AM, many school vans can be seen entering JB Customs. Some of these vans carry children as young as 7 years old.

JB has many international schools, with monthly school fees around RM 2000. Some believe that studying at Singapore government schools is better.

If you come to jb,you will know many T20 person live at jb.

Just go Eco World property or shopping mall......

Typically, the parents of these Malaysian students are not PRs. If they were PRs and worked in Singapore, they could rent a room there.

You do know that you have to pay around 10k sgd for a year to study in sinvapore right? Compared to PR you only pay 300 sgd per year. I know many students commute daily but how sure most of them were not PR?

Those T20 can afford to send them over to study. But did they get a PR without a singapore residential address? That's what I want to know. And, do you think every students are T20? If they can go for international schools why would they want to go singapore? Even my boss sends her kid to international sch instead of local because the school fees are similar.

A lot of Malaysian Chinese aspiring artists go this route, while a lot of Singaporean Malay aspiring artists do the reverse. Nothing new.

How long does the process take, is the application called "Extraction of birth certificate"?
