3 Issues With Your PR Application Status
1. Uncertainty of Approval Chances
Applying for PR involves a secretive assessment process, and no official source provides any details of its internal methodology. How do you gauge your chances, let alone know how to maximise your application’s potential?
2. Onerous and Time-Consuming Process
The application process can drain invaluable time and effort. Completing the daunting paperwork alone is a tedious and onerous task. Worse still is the lengthy cooling period that comes with rejection before you can re-apply.
3. Higher Rate of Rejections
Recent years have seen a consistent trend of only 30,000 approvals per year after the steep decline in 2010. Given the ever rising demand for the PR status, applicants must now contend with a higher risk of rejection.

PR Application Status: Pending, What’s Next?
Every year, thousands send applications to become Singapore PRs. With a choice position in the economy, a stable government, world-renowned healthcare, Singapore is a highly sought-after destination for many to settle down.
Approximately, you can expect to receive an acceptance or rejection letter in four to six months. If you have been accepted, congratulations are in order! You may now proceed to complete the protocol at the ICA building.
However, if you have been unsuccessful, do not be discouraged. You can make another attempt in future as there are no limitations to how many times you can apply. Here’s what you can do to boost your chances when you decide to try again.
1. Reach Out to the Experts for a Positive PR Application Status
After becoming aware of your rejected application, a less exhaustive direction you can take is by engaging the people who do it best.
With years of experience and know-how, professionals such as specialists at Paul Immigrations are able to understand your unique circumstances and showcase all your best qualities to the approving officers.
Other services provided by experts that will help in your strengthening your case:
- In-depth analysis of your eligibility to meet the strict criteria set by ICA to apply for permanent residence in Singapore
- Personalised and professionally written cover letters
- Management of all documentation that requires submission
- Additional documents that are not mandatory but may bolster your submission
If you are unsure about the process or feel that you would prefer professional guidance, reaching out to industry experts should be a consideration for you.
2. Evaluate Your Rejected PR Application Status
Rejection can be difficult to digest and disheartening, particularly when you have so certainly set your heart on your new home. Nevertheless, if you still desire to relocate to this metropolitan city-state, you can always try again!
The reason for rejection will never be enclosed in your letter as the approval process is a highly confidential one. Nevertheless, by taking some time to reassess your submission, you may be able to come up with a general gist as to why it was turned away. Generally, there tends to be a combination of reasons that results in a rejection — here are some of them:
- Age
- Economic contributions to the country
- Family profile
- Family ties to Singapore
- Length of work and stay in the country
- Skills and qualifications
- Incomplete documents/inaccurate information
If you need help with this, consider engaging our team of experts at Paul Immigrations. Our professional insight can help you evaluate your rejection and later, assess your chances for your next attempt.
3. Prepare for Your Next PR Application
Now that you know your PR application status and have reviewed your past submission, you should start preparing for your next application! Do note that you are encouraged to wait at least six months before reapplying, and the chances of receiving another rejection are higher if there are no significant changes in your life.
As all PR applications must be submitted online, all the supporting documents ought to be ready and easily accessible to you. Additionally, you should ensure your paperwork was accurate, complete, and consistent. As disappointing as it is to read a letter encompassing bad news, you must not fabricate any documents, certifications or relationships you have. Instead, all the information provided has to be legitimate, up to date and legible.
A professional can assist you with all of the above, ensuring that your submission is complete and abides by the laws that govern this process.
