Hi all,

We have been living in singapore for 2 years now; last 6 months as PR. We are seriously considering taking up citizenship here, plan to be here for long; probably forever. An advise on when should we apply for Citizenship would be helpful.

Some details about us. We are an Indian family of 3, including our 3 yrs old daughter. Monthly income of around 30k, both myself and my wife are bankers. We are also in the advance stages of buying a property here.


Cheers
