When would be the best time to apply for Singapore PR?
There is no better time to apply for SPR than now. Stringent immigration laws have only made obtaining permanent residency for foreigners more difficult. Since 2009, ICA officers have tightened policies to reduce the likelihood of foreigners obtaining Permanent Residency solely to reap the numerous benefits that come with being a Singapore PR. Unfortunately, this means that obtaining permanent residency will only become more difficult in the future, as stricter policies may be implemented. As a result, applying for Singapore PR as soon as possible is advised.
