Five Major Rumors About Applying for PR in Singapore

Five Rumors About Applying for PR in SG

2024-12-31

People often say that applying for PR is a mystical subject. Sometimes two applicants who seem to have similar conditions, one application is approved and the other is not. It is precisely because there are no official review standards for applying for PR that there are always many rumors circulating among the public about PR applications.

High Degree will Definitely Lead to PR

In fact, in Singapore, educational immigration is indeed the easiest way to immigrate, but it is not the rumored "higher education makes it easier to apply for PR", but rather those with a local educational background are more likely to apply for PR, and the earlier they receive local education and the longer they study, the easier it is for them to obtain Singapore PR or citizenship.

The 2022 Singapore Population White Paper revealed that 84.3% of students who have completed secondary school or above in the local area received PR, while citizens accounted for 80.7%.

Students studying in Singapore can apply PR by passing a national exam, PSLE， Cambridge 'N'/'O'/'A' level, or entering the IP program, Integrated Programme。

Getting Married to a Singaporean can Earn a PR

Firstly, it should be noted that spouses of Singaporean citizens are indeed eligible to apply for PR. If the applicant's spouse is a citizen or PR, then the applicant's application does have a greater opportunity to be approved, because it represents that the government considers countrymen family reunification and stability.

But! This does not mean that marrying a Singaporean will necessarily result in obtaining a PR, as there are many other factors to consider when applying for a PR, such as personal level, which is a more important aspect of assessment. So, don't believe this rumor, some people may even "fake marriage" with Singaporeans just to get PR, this is no longer a matter of success rate, but has escalated into illegal behavior!

You can Apply for PR by Buying an Apartment in Singapore

In Singapore, buying a house and applying for a Singapore PR are not necessarily related.

A Child Born in Singapore Will Get a PR

1) Under the premise of a normal marriage, once a child is born, one of the parents is a citizen, and the child is naturally born a citizen.

2) If the parents are PRs or one parent is PR but the child was not born PR, the parents need to apply for and approve the child's PR status before they can obtain it. Of course, in this case, the chances of approval are high.

3) If the parents are not of the above status, it is even less likely that the child will be a PR at birth, and they need to apply for approval from the PR later on.

If you have money in Singapore, you can apply for PR

The ICA have repeatedly emphasized that the wealth or net worth of applicants is not the primary criterion for assessing their eligibility for Singaporean citizenship. PR is no exception.

But there is one situation beyond that, if you can meet the requirements of the Singapore Global Investor Program (GIP) for investment immigration, then it can indeed be said that having money allows you to apply for PR.

But it is nonsense to expect to obtain EP and PR by investing in a certain company just because one has money. In Singapore, such cases have occurred before, and the ultimate outcome may result in both personal and financial losses.

Our Suggestions

1) In summary, applying for a PR is not a mysticism. In fact, as we have mentioned before, applying for a PR is actually a buff. Factors favorable for passing: high education, key industries, high income; Married individuals (or those planning to get married and have children) can apply together with their children; Both husband and wife hold work permits and receive high salaries; Do more volunteering, increase local educational background, etc. The more you stack, the closer you are to success.

2) Don't make some low-level mistakes. Ensuring complete materials, accurate translation and notarization, and no omissions or errors in form filling are the most basic. More importantly, what highlight materials need to be added, which ones can be submitted, which ones do not need to be submitted, and which ones must be submitted, are the key. If you cannot do it and are afraid of making mistakes, please seek professional help.

3) Don't be afraid of failure and not dare to try. No one can guarantee that all their conditions are perfect when applying for PR. As long as the timing is right, you can boldly apply.
