When it comes to applying for Singapore PR, it might seem straightforward by just meeting Singapore ICA requirements, but there are several common misconceptions that applicants often fall into. Explore the three major misconceptions and gain insights for a successful PR application.

Misconception 1: Families with Children Must Apply Together

Wrong: There's a belief that families with children must apply for PR together.

Correct: It's beneficial for families with children to apply together, if unsuccessful, consider a different approach. Start by having the child apply individually, followed by a prompt application for citizenship. Within approximately 3 years, the child can complete the PR-to-citizen process. Even if parents don't update their permits, they can apply for LTVP under the child's sponsorship, securing their stay and allowing later PR applications.

Misconception 2: Waiting for Exam Results Before PR Application

Wrong: Students about to take O-level or A-level exams should wait for results before applying for PR.

Correct: For students from abroad, with good results in primary school (e.g., PSLE), they can apply for PR when transitioning to secondary school. Similarly, those approaching A-levels can apply if year-end exam results are available.

Misconception 3: Immediate PR Application Upon Finding a Job

Wrong: Many believe that once employed in Singapore, they should promptly submit a PR application.

Correct: While it's advisable to apply soon, wait at least 9 months into the job before submitting the application.

PR processing typically takes about 3 months, starting a year after submission. By waiting 9 months, it creates a perception of commitment, aligning with the official processing timeline.
