Paul Immigrations Reviews: Apply for Singapore PR the Smart Way

Because of its lack of natural disasters, political stability and low crime rate, Singapore as a developed island-state, is a popular choice for people seeking Permanent Residency and new citizenship in another country.

There are many benefits that a Singapore Permanent Resident (PR) holds over non-citizens.

Some of the Key Benefits Are: 

👍 Able to live in, enter and leave Singapore without the need to apply for a separate visa.

👍 Able to apply for a long term visit pass for the immediate family.

👍 No need to reapply for a work permit when changing jobs.

👍 Enjoy the benefits of the CPF scheme.

👍 Higher priority in loan applications.

👍 Lower stamp duties in property purchase and the eligibility to purchase resale HDB flats.

👍 Subsidised rates for medical, childcare and education expenses.

Also importantly, in order to become a naturalised Singapore citizen, one of the criteria is to be a PR for at least two years.

While the thought of becoming a PR in Singapore might be alluring, the process of applying to be one might be daunting. This is especially so for those with no prior experience.

For first-timers, the tedious paperwork and unfamiliarity with the entire process can be a big hurdle to climb.

Even though the PR application can be done online, first-time applicants might face difficulties in navigating the e-Service website.

For re-applicants who faced previous rejection(s), it can be emotionally distraught especially if the reason for past rejection(s) is not known.

So rather than fumbling through the process, why not get the help of an expert to guide you through while saving you time and effort?

After this you can decide whether you wish to engage their services.

Step 3: Request of Documents

➤ Audited form submission (also known as Form 4A)

➤ Essential additional documents (that reflect your participation in charity work, community engagement, etc)

Upon receipt of these documents, the specialist will advise if the documents satisfy the PR criteria and requirements of ICA.
