3 Barriers to Becoming A Permanent Resident

1. Uncertainty With Chances of Approval

Applying for PR involves highly intimidating prep work and documentation collation with no official methodology. With such a daunting list of requirements and multiple hidden factors, how certain are you of your chances of approval?

2. Low Approval Rates

The approval rate has been plummeting since 2009, from 70,000 to 30,000. With increasingly stricter and inflexible regulations in place, how are you going to beat the odds and avoid rejection?

3. Time-Consuming and Tedious Process

Completing the application involves time-consuming documentation and extensive forms, and even a minor error or an omission of information can cause rejection. How are you going to ensure accuracy?

5 Benefits of Becoming a Singapore Permanent Resident

There are many reasons why foreigners choose to live and work in the Little Red Dot. Apart from its safe environment, stable economy, and job opportunities, the city state is also noted for being a dynamic metropolis that is ever-changing and continuously improving to meet the demands of its people and the world.

Becoming a Permanent Resident in this city-state will open many doors for both you and your loved ones, especially when it comes to job opportunities, accommodation or even education for your little ones.

 

 

1. Abundant Job Opportunities for A Singapore Permanent Resident

Being an economic powerhouse and a global business hub has its advantages. This is largely due to the efforts and initiatives in place by the government to ensure that both Citizens and PRs are given priority when it comes to job opportunities. Our stable and secure economic policies along with its strategic location attract international businesses. With a growing number of businesses starting up in the city-state, there are an abundance of job opportunities for both locals and PRs alike. Additionally, the unemployment rate here is significantly lower when compared to most Asian countries.

 

2. Efficient Public Transportation for Every Singapore Permanent Resident

Owning a car here can be relatively expensive, but fortunately, due to its size and efficient public transportation, there is no need for a private vehicle in the country. The city has invested a lot of effort and time into the public transportation system, so much so that travelling from one end to another takes less than an hour, especially if you take the MRT. The train network is constantly expanding to provide travellers with an ease of accessibility to different parts of the city. Due to its cost efficiency, most residents in this city-state take public transport to get in and around the city quickly and affordably.

 

3. Singapore Permanent Resident’s Access To The Central Provident Fund (CPF)

One of the biggest benefits of being a PR is having access to CPF. The CPF works much like a pension system, where by PRs, Citizens and their respective employers are required to contribute a sum of money to their CPF account. CPF funds are typically split into different accounts. The Ordinary Account is reserved for insurance, education, investment and housing purposes, while the Special Account is catered for retirement, and Medisave meant to offset hospitalisation expenses and other medical insurances.

 

4. Political Stability and Security for Every Singapore Permanent Resident

There is rarely any political unrest in the country. Due to its strict laws and regulations, the country has maintained peace and order. Apart from this, regular police and military patrol in crowded places and surveillance has deterred and has aid in the prevention of crimes. In fact, the country’s crime rate is so low that it is noted to be one of the safest countries in the world to live and work in.

 

5. Dream of Every Singapore Permanent Resident: Eligibility for Citizenship

After living and working in the country for a significant number of years as a PR, you will be eligible to apply for a Citizenship. Becoming a Singapore Citizen will undoubtedly provide you with the same benefits as locals in the country. As a citizen of the country, you will have access to better tax rates, voting rights and subsidised housing instead of resale housing. Additionally, you will also obtain a Singapore passport, which will allow you to obtain visas to certain countries overseas.
