What is Singapore PR
Singapore Permanent Residence (PR) grants foreign nationals the right to live and work in Singapore on a long-term basis. PR holders enjoy near-citizen benefits including access to public education, healthcare subsidies, and HDB housing.
PR is administered by the Immigration Checkpoints Authority (ICA). Approximately 20,000–30,000 PRs are approved annually. The assessment considers economic contribution, academic credentials, family ties, and social integration.

• EP / S Pass / EntrePass holders who have worked in Singapore for a qualifying period
