Singapore Permanent Residence Scheme for Singapore Work Pass Holders

In order to apply for permanent residence (PR) under PTS scheme, you must be an Employment Pass holder. You should be under 50 years old, although exceptions can be made on a case by case basis. The PTS scheme allows you to include your spouse and unmarried children below 21 years old in your application. The procedure to acquire Singapore permanent residence (PR) through the PTS scheme is straightforward, though it requires research, leg-work and attention to detail.

以下逐步指南将帮助您轻松解决新加坡PR应用程序流程。

Step 1: Decide when to apply for PR

The first question that typically comes to the mind of the majority of work pass holders is "when can I apply for my Singapore PR"? Theoretically, you can make the application the day you start working in the country as an Employment Pass (EP) holder. However, one of the application requirements is to provide six months’ of payslips from your Singapore employer. This also means that you should wait at least six months from the day you start work to apply for your PR.

Realistically, how soon you can apply for PR status also depends on the type of employment pass you are holding and the unofficial annual quota set by the government.

此外，在提交PR应用程序时确保您与雇主有好处。申请表包含雇主填写的一节。

第2步：考虑您的批准机会

除了就业类型传递给您的工作，您在新加坡工作多长时间，当时审查您的PR申请时，当局也会考虑其他因素。这些包括：

• Your education background. Singapore authorities give a lot of weight to your degree and the institute from where you graduated.
• Your physical stay in Singapore. The longer your physical stay in Singapore, the more the authorities are convinced that you plan to reside in Singapore permanently.
• 您的工作背景和您的工作稳定性
• 雇主的凭据（更成熟的公司，越好）
• 你的薪水和金融福祉
• Your character (such as whether or not you are a law-abiding citizen)
• 您的家庭在新加坡领带。如果您在此处有家庭关系，则被认为是积极因素。
• 您对社会的慈善捐款，如志愿者，捐赠等。

底线：政府希望确保您是一名守法居民，如果您获得公关状态，您将不会成为新加坡的负担。他们希望你成为该国的资产。

Step 3: Decide on PR filing for your children

如果您已婚并生孩子，您必须制作的一个重要决策是您是否要为您的儿子申请PR。

根据新加坡法律，在第一代PTS计划下授予新加坡公关的主要申请人（即，您）免征义务兵役。然而，所有通过父母授予公关的健康男性，必须在达到16岁的时候注册国家兵役。他们将被要求为2年的全职国家服务服务，然后每年40天运作准备的国家服务，直到50岁（适用于官员）或40岁（其他级别）。

不同的父母认为国家服务义务不同。有些父母不介意它，认为孩子在服务两年后的孩子会更强大和更成熟。其他人在让孩子经历过任何兵役时都很恐惧。在您为您的儿子制作任何PR应用之前，您需要根据自己的角度仔细思考并因此决定。

第4步：下载文档并查看备案要求

一旦您的资格建立，您已决定继续进行PR应用程序申请，则下一步是获取PR申请表格和审查提交要求。

For your convenience, you can download the necessary forms online byclicking here。具体来说，下载标题为4A的两种形式，并附上PTS方案列出的4A。

表格4A文件由两部分组成：PR申请表和附件A.第一部分（PR申请表）将由您完成。它要求您的家庭和您的家人的细节，涵盖基本信息以及教育和专业历史。第二部分（附件A）适用于您的雇主，他们必须解释他们的业务性质并确认您的就业和薪资细节。您的雇主不被视为赞助您的申请。本文的后期部分将提供关于完成表格的指导方针。

The second document contains explanatory notes on Form 4A and this is the document you need to pay attention to first. Read this document and get ready to prepare the supporting documents as explained in the next section.

第5步：准备支持文件

The first order of business after you have downloaded and read the necessary documents is to submit the application online. You will need to start compiling the supporting documents. The list of supporting documents required is provided in the explanatory notes and documents list in Form 4A. Here are some additional helpful guidelines that you should take into account:

• 对于每个支持文档，制作扫描的副本并保持原始方便。在在线提交PR应用程序时，您将被要求上传扫描的副本。
• If you have any document that’s not in English, you must produce an official English translation of the document. The safest approach is to get it translated and stamped through your embassy. Make sure to scan the originals of both non-English and English translated versions of the document.
• 以前的雇佣委任信，绩效评估报告，建议信是有用的。如有必要，请联系您以前的雇主。
• If you have purchased a property in Singapore, include the documents that provide the necessary proof. This will be considered a positive factor both in terms of your financial position as well as your longer-term intention of staying in Singapore.
• 确保您还附上CV /恢复最新副本。
• 准备求职信是一个好主意，其中您可以阐明您对新加坡的热爱，您的财务和家庭稳定，您成为新加坡公关的决定，以及您附加应用程序的支持文件列表。

底线：新加坡在文书工作中很大，而且它的准确性很大。你提供更好的越多。一旦您准备好所有所需文件的副本和原件，您已考虑上述其他指南，您就可以为下一步准备，即填写PR申请表。

Step 6: Completing the PR application form

PR申请表格不是完整的复杂形式。下面列出的一些有用的指导方针应使其更轻松：

• 按时间顺序写下您的教育和就业历史。
• In the education qualifications section, list out your high school diploma and anything higher. You do not need to list educational details prior to high school.
• If you cannot produce an appropriate certificate for a degree or diploma education that you have completed, don’t list it. Otherwise, it might create unnecessary delays where authorities might send you a letter saying that you need to produce the necessary document for verification purpose in order to further process your application.
• 您的配偶和儿童的细节也将以相同的申请表格完成。即使您没有为您的任何家庭成员（配偶或儿童）申请PR，您仍然需要在申请中提供他们的细节。对于每个家庭成员，有一个领域您将指示您是否正在为此家庭成员申请PR。
• 询问您的雇主填写附件A（即“公关申请表的最后一页，以”申请4A的附件A（永久居住申请）“）。此表格的完成是作为确认提供的信息是准确的，有效的信息才不是意味着公司的赞助。

虽然国家形式,它将带你的应用roximately 30 minutes to complete, in reality, you will probably end up spending a few hours to complete the PR application form. The next part of this guide (Part II) will describe the actual submission procedure for the application as well as what to do once your PR application is approved or rejected.
