Chance of approving PR

[doraemon888]

Hi

Everyone, I am new here

Thinking about moving to Singapore next year around june before the EP scheme changes.

Since my partner is an American, we can also move to the US instead, which will take me 1 year to receive a green card and another 3 years to receive a passport.

We are thinking about , perhaps, singapore may take less time for me to get a passport, so would love to hear about your suggestions about my profile.


Chinese

Age: 35

Job: business owner of a Singapore registered company (more than 4 years )

Income: depending on how much I can get a high chance of approval, it is my company ,so I can make it 10-15K SGD/ month

Single- getting married soon

planning to apply after 6 months of living in Singapore

Industry: online education

No family in Singapore

Education: Master's Degree, Melbourne University, ranking 38 in the world. Top 20 in Education.

Never lived in Singapore before - that's my major concern

I think our main concern is that, would that be enough to receive an approval after 6 months living in Singapore?

You list yourself as “Chinese”, is your nationality Chinese too? Or your race is Chinese but nationality is Australian?

Low chance to get PR if you work here for only 6 months. Typical advice is to work here for 2-3 years, then apply for PR.

However… you said you’re a business owner of a SG company? How many Singaporeans are employed? And how are you able to be a business owner here despite never setting foot here?

If you don’t wanna wait 2-3 years, you can treat the application fee as a donation after 6 months of work. Don’t be surprised if there’s a rejection and you could consider US as your Plan B in that scenario.

Do note that SG PR is for people who wanna sink roots here. If you get PR here, are you still gonna jet off to the US? If that’s the case, why bother coming to SG? Just go to the US immediately…

Chinese

Age: 35

Job: business owner of a Singapore registered company (more than 4 years ) If you own a business here? Is your director local rented director. You have to have a resident director and you say you have never been to Sg.

Income: depending on how much I can get a high chance of approval, It's not how much you CAN earn, it will be how much you have already earned. (Not the company unless it's a sole proprietorship and then you would need to be able to show proof of wages (not profits) You need to get and employment pass first, then PR. and then it will take 2 or several more in order to hopefully be approved for SGC IF you are lucky enough to get PR. In fact, I'm not sure you can operate a Sole Proprietorship with you not being present in Singapore at all. And any wages you draw from the company will be taxed in your resident country where you are working from. Therefore you have not Singapore income at all for personal tax purposes (many threads on this board on that subject)

Single- getting married soon Nothing useful there, either now or next year. In fact as you are Chinese it may well be looked at as a marriage of convenience.

planning to apply after 6 months of living in Singapore (Forget it.) If you are not MALAYSIAN Chinese, it's not going to happen. Additionally, if you are a neurosurgeon or rocket scientist, OR you have a pocket full of valuable patents in your name you MIGHT have a chance at 6 months otherwise, contrary to the 6 months listed on the ICA website the normal time is 12 to 18 months with it often stretching to 2+ months (just last week we had one on here with result at 27 months. Length of time doesn't translate to rejection or acceptance. Lots of other things also in the mix.

Never lived in Singapore before - that's my major concern {and rightly so as it appears you have never worked in Singapore at all, let alone lived here}

I think our main concern is that, would that be enough to receive an approval after 6 months living in Singapore? { NO }.

The race card is not enough, alone, to gain PR here. Unsure of your nationality but I'm guessing you are not Australian as you didn't mention Basic BS Degree from Aus. Basically the pecking order in Singapore for Chinese seeking PR seems to be M'sian Chinese (because ethnically and culturally they are like siblings as almost any who have three generations were at one time all part of M'sia until 1965. Behind them comes Indonesian Chinese. Again, culturally of a S.E.Asian style. Then the rest of the Chinese diaspora from around the world, as noted almost 100% of M'sian Chinese have less than a year wait and usually 6~9 months only. Good Luck, you are going to need a huge dollop of it, I fear.
