I heard it's faster to get PR approved now. Most of the cases are about 6 months or less, unless you're not within the selected criteria, you may require more documents, etc.

I just applied mine a couple of months ago under my wife's sponsorship but nothing so far.

Thanks .. I need to get myself a house .. I held my pr application for 4 years due to my scholarship

It's rather random, most of the Malaysians I know got theirs within 6 months .. those from Indonesia apparently faster too recently .. those from other countries may take a little longer ..

If you're an EP holder, doubt u have to worry. S pass may take a little longer.

Is he a guy? Haha .. usually its harder for a guy to get it .. they seem to prefer females ..

Oh good luck then .. hate s pass too due to quota .. else ask your company to upgrade you to EP .. haha

Yes .. haha ..

My wife got her PR within 6 months, and she applied 6 months from her employment.

Her colleague, a male got rejected 3 times before he succeeded and ranks 2 level higher than her .. but his conversion to citizen was smooth.

Another male colleague of her still getting rejected until today after like many tries .. from what I heard coz he participated in the bersih rally .. hence the rejection

My Indonesian colleague and her fren got it within 6 months. Both female.

A male Burmese applied for almost 2 years but it was really hard for him to get it .. they came back to him requesting multiple documents .. despite he's a PhD holder and currently working for government

A friend of mine got his within 6 months too .. male but he has a lot of savings in sgd .. he used to work here before he returned to Malaysia for phd .. then applied after working for about 2 years

If you have an FD in one of the banks .. shouldn't be hard .. I heard if you have an insurance policy .. the likelihood of getting PR is higher too

I'm also waiting for mine anxiously because we would like to get a unit ASAP .. but I'm kinda worried they may classify me under marriage of convenience..

Getting a new job? Get some extra money from CPF? Get yourself a place you call home instead of renting(only if your other half is a PR too)? Medical benefits?

After living in Sg for almost 10 years .. I kinda sell myself to them .. I used to tell myself that I would return to Malaysia .. but I feel that its different in sg compared to Malaysia .. so getting a PR provides more flexibility compared to a work pass holder ..

Best not to hop around with a working pass when applying PR .. for my case .. my job scope is rather niche hence hopping is hard for me

Lucky my Pass is 5 years .. haha

Should be OK I guess, maybe u should have FD in their local bank, after all maybank is still a Malaysian bank .. haha

Coz I applied PR under my wife about 6 months from our ROM, so they may be a little wary about it .. and I'm currently employed less than 6 months

No idea, they issued me until 2028. Mine is a new pass .. I didn't renew it .. I was carrying a student pass back then .. EP > student > EP again ..

I have no idea how the passes work .. haha

No, I'm working in Sg now .. so I am applying under my wife while I'm working in Sg .. we got married when I was a student .. then I applied the pass about 2 months down my employment .. so I decided to tag onto my wife to expedite the process .. however we didn't take the marriage of convenience into consideration .. so a little worried about it .. if you read them on reddit or expat forum .. there's a lot of such cases where they got rejected

Haha .. yes that's what I heard too .. but I think TS wants to rush due to the possibility of quota issue

Yes, they don't. But, if you read on other forums they kinna raise this up, so I am worried to be rejected.

I pursued my PhD .. I was under scholarship, hence I was not eligible for PR throughout the programme.

Haha thanks but I need it ASAP .. initially we had plans to return to MY but guess not now .. everything is way efficient in SG

I don't know man .. it's hard to decide as of now .. sg kinda like a drug .. while things may be a little expensive but I do get a better and healthier life .. whenever I return to Malaysia I feel my diet/lifestyle is so unhealthy .. I have just returned for a day for cny and I feel everything is sooo bad haha

At least you have all planned out ..

I'm still early into my career, a lot of catch up to do. I would say I'm kinda late compared to my peers of the same age .. I took a gamble and hope it would pay off in the future by doing what I love

Microbiology, specially virology

Why would it be P&C when they have the authority over you?

They have to ensure that you have a clean record before they can accept you right?

I'm still learning the ropes. Just need to do my best. Haha
