SC approved
Posted: Tue, 18 Feb 2025 10:43 am
Applied 7 May 2024
Approved yesterday 17 February 2025
Have been through so many different passes in SG:
2010-2018 3 student passes
2018-2021 EP (renewed once)
June 2021 till now PR
My background:
Chinese Indonesian 33 yo single male
Have a diploma in music and bachelor in business admin from local Singapore institution
Currently full time working as admin executive in a Singapore autonomous university and part time as music teacher in a small music studio. Salaries are $4150 and $1400 respectively. (For the former, I got a $150 raise so last week I updated ICA with my latest payslip)
Didn’t expect it to take so fast. Was lucky that when I applied for PR I also waited for about the same time (9 months). A lot of people in the forum has been saying local integration is the most important factor and yet there is no concrete way to prove this to ICA; this is just my conjecture but I think the way see that I am integrated is from the fact that in my 14 years in Singapore, I always lived in HDBs in neighbourhood areas and not in expat enclaves or condos, after all close to 70% of Singaporean live in HDB too.
Secondly, I seldom leave SG and when I do, I usually am out of SG for maximum two weeks per year. And looking back I always in SG during the National Day.
As I said that’s just my thought but you might want to follow my footstep if you’re thinking to apply PR or SC in the future
