Singapore Permanent Resident Guide
The Singapore Permanent Residence Visa is a migration solution that enables foreign employees and entrepreneurs to stay in Singapore indefinitely and enjoy the perks and benefits that Singaporean citizens enjoy.
These include the freedom for businesses and employment, the Central Provident Fund (CPF), better education rates, more affordable healthcare, etc. The PR application considers everything you have and will contribute to Singapore from the day you step foot onto the sunny island.
Am I eligible for a Singapore PR?
3 common types of Permanent Resident Visa schemes:
1. Foreign professionals, technicians, and skilled workers scheme: This is suited for individuals who are currently working in Singapore for a certain period of time (key requirement). The longer a foreigner has worked and contributed to the Singapore economy, the better it looks on paper when an application is sent for processing. Therefore, when the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA) assesses you for your candidacy, it will be based on the personal and professional merits you have acquired and built over the years while working in Singapore. Therefore, if you are a working professional and you are currently holding an Employment Pass or S Pass and planning to apply for a Permanent Resident visa in the future, it is essential to plan and build an excellent employment profile.
2. Investors Scheme (Global Investor Programme) This scheme is suitable for foreign investors who are willing to invest at least $2.5 million SGD into a new Singaporean business start up, existing business, or a GIP-approved fund. Eager entrepreneurs are required to have a good entrepreneurial background, a good track record of your business, and an investment plan prepared.
