3 Main Problems With Your PR Application Form
1. High Rejection Rate
Stricter evaluation in recent years has led to a higher rate of rejection. Submitting a substandard application worsens your chances and risks rejection, forcing you to wait at least six months before you can try again.
2. Rising Competition & Demand for PR Status
Fewer available spots for Permanent Residents have made the competition even more cutthroat. As you will be going up against other candidate profiles that are as well-furnished as yours, how can you best secure your success?
3. Passing the Strict Assessment
The assessment criteria is extremely strict, rewarding only the top candidates with PR approval. Even the most eligible profiles need to sufficiently prove their edge and leave a lasting impression.

How to Improve Your PR Application Form
Completing the entire form may sound simple but it can be challenging, especially if you are a first-time applicant. Keeping in mind that you will be competing against thousands of other applicants for this coveted PR status, how would your application stand out in the best way possible to raise your chances of approval? If you are unsure of how to go about it, here are 3 crucial steps to complete the process seamlessly while maximising your chances.
Step 1: Confirm Your Eligibility before Submitting Your PR Application Form
First and foremost, check whether you fulfil the eligibility for Singapore PR status. If you belong to one of the following categories, you are eligible to apply for permanent residency:
- Spouse of a Singapore Citizen (SC) or PR
- Legitimate or legally adopted child of an SC/PR who is unmarried and below 21 years old
- Elderly parent of an SC
- Holder of an Employment Pass or S Pass
- Foreign investor in Singapore
- Student studying in Singapore
Each of these categories has its respective PR scheme and eligibility criteria, so be sure that you meet the list of requirements before continuing with your submission.
Step 2: Prepare Documents to Support Your Singapore PR Application Form
Every submission has to be supplemented with a number of supporting paperwork. Any missing paperwork will render your submission incomplete, thus leading to a rejection. While the list of documents might vary among the PR schemes, there are a few staple documents that you have to submit, including:
- Digital Passport-Sized Photograph
- Valid travel document with valid Immigration Pass and passport pages displaying personal information and official descriptions
- Identity card (if applicable)
- Deed poll/Change of name certificate (if applicable)
- Birth certificate, Family census or Family register
Step 3: Curate and Include Additional Documents for Your Singapore PR Application
Supplement your submission with additional paperwork that will help you stand out from the other applicants. The purpose is to highlight your positive attributes as well as the ways you can contribute to the country as a PR. Make sure that you highlight only the selected few achievements that portray you in the best light.
