3 Main Issues With Your PR Application Status
1. Strict and Confidential Selection Process
The dwindling number of new Permanent Residents point to a strict selection process, made worse by the lack of reasons behind any rejection letter. You may find it difficult to improve on your submission to increase your chances.
2. Increasingly Fierce Competition
Records show that a huge number of high-calibre candidates compete for the limited 30,000 PR spots yearly. With uncertainty over when the numbers will drop again, even the tiniest of errors can worsen the odds and lead to rejection.
3. Tedious Process Without Room for Error
Online applications are troublesome and complex. Ensuring accuracy with a stressful application process is not always feasible. Knowing that even a single error in your submission can lead to rejection, are you willing to take the risk?

Is Your PR Application Status Rejected?
With thousands of foreigners applying for Permanent Resident (PR) status in Singapore every year, an unsuccessful outcome is a reality many applicants have to contend with. Unfortunately, the Immigration & Checkpoints Authority (ICA) does not disclose to applicants the reasons for their rejected submission. This makes figuring out why you were not granted permanent residency in the country almost impossible as it could be due to any number of reasons.
However, there are certain factors we know that contribute to ICA’s decision-making process with regards to the PR application. If your submission was unsuccessful, you may use these factors to gauge the possible reasons why you were not granted PR status.
1. Duration of Stay in Singapore Influences Your PR Application Status
While ICA does not explicitly specify spending a minimum length of time in the Lion City before one can apply for permanent residency, the chances of a successful submission is far greater if you have stayed in the country for at least one year. Generally, the longer your duration of stay, the more likely you will be granted PR status as it shows your commitment to the country.
2. Your PR Application Status Depends on Economic Contribution
If you are applying for permanent residency as a means to continue working in the little red dot, then getting a rejection might be a result of ICA deeming your economic contributions to the country insufficient. This could be due to a couple of reasons: either you have only worked in Singapore for a short length of time or your monthly income is too low for you to make significant tax contributions.
3. Advanced Age May Affect Your PR Application Status
Singapore is currently facing an ageing population, a situation that does not bode well for a small city-state that relies heavily on its people to help it progress economically. As a result, bringing in young foreign talents is one of the government’s priorities to ensure the country remains globally competitive. Unfortunately, this means you may face a harder time getting your submission approved if you are older (i.e. above 50 years old), in which case you will have to prove your worth as a PR in other ways.
4. Incomplete PR Application Form
The PR application form consists of several sections applicants are required to complete and accidentally missing out on any of one of them is not unheard of. Unsurprisingly, any missing information will render your submission invalid, thus leading to a rejection. An unsuccessful entry may also be a result of forgetting to include any one of the necessary supporting documents required by ICA.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes you can. However, you may wish to take into account the potential reasons for the rejection before trying again. Re-applying for permanent residency is of no use if you do so without making any significant changes to your individual situation that will put you in a better light as a potential Singapore PR.
In general, you should submit a fresh application six months after your last attempt. Do contact a professional to help you with this process.
Before submitting an application again, you need to thoroughly consider the different factors that might have possibly resulted in you not being granted permanent residence in the country.
For instance, if you have stayed in Singapore for only a short period of time prior to submitting your first application (i.e. less than a year), the duration of your stay might be the reason for your rejected outcome. You will then need to bear this in mind before deciding to submit an application again.
A successful submission depends on multiple factors. In most cases, it is wise for you to wait until you have resided in the country for one to two years to prove to ICA that you are committed to staying in the city-state for the long haul.
The additional paperwork should serve the purpose of highlighting your positive attributes as well as the potential ways you will be able to contribute to the country as a Singapore PR. One additional document we recommend you include is a cover letter that is written professionally by our team of experts.
Consider making your submission as soon as possible, once you satisfy all the eligibility criteria. Delaying it may put you at a disadvantage with the high possibility of newer restrictions in place.
