Thousands of high-calibre applicants go through the increasingly rigorous evaluation process, yet only an annual limit of 30,000 receive approvals. The chances of standing out amongst your competitors are now much lower.
Making sense of the intimidating paperwork can leave you perplexed and disorganised. Consequently, the slightest of errors or incomplete documentation can result in immediate rejection without you knowing why.
Many have faced numerous rejections in their applications without any explanation. This knowledge gap may inevitably mean repeated attempts at a PR application only leading to endless rejection.
If you are planning to apply for Singapore PR, it is crucial for you to ensure every step you take in the PR application process is done carefully. You should also make sure that you have checked off everything on the list of requirements for the submission. This is to prevent any mistakes or missing information in your submission, and have ICA’s electronic Permanent Residence (ePR) system render it incomplete, thus resulting in a rejection.
With that said, you might feel intimidated by the process but fret not. We are here to share with you some insights on how to do so with this 3-step guide. Read on to find out what you can do to increase your chances of getting PR status approval.
