Introduction of various work permits in Singapore

PR = Permanent resident is a blue card (not a green card:)

The main difference between SPR = Singapore permanent residents and SC = Singapore citizens is that

1, sc holds a Singapore passport, while spr holds a national passport, so it is not allowed to enjoy any rights only belonging to citizens in Singapore, such as voting rights. And jobs that the government stipulates that only citizens can do, such as government civil servants.

2, sc's children are born sc, while spr's children are not born sc, because Singaporeans and China are the same in the nationality of newborns, and they pursue bloodline-that is, follow their parents' nationality.

3. Citizens are permanent rights and do not need to renew their insurance, but spr does. Usually, the first application for spr is 5 years, and the subsequent application for extension of insurance can be 5 years or 10 years.

4. There is another small difference. Sc's nric ID card is pink, and spr's is blue. Spr needs a re-entry permit (multiple entry and exit permit) to enter and leave Singapore.

5.sc enjoys government bonuses, bonuses, allowances and so on, but spr certainly doesn't.

6. The first generation male pr does not need military service, but all sc male citizens do.

7. Parents and adult/married children (2 1 year-old or married) of SPR cannot apply for SPR, but elderly parents of citizens can. Of course, the spouse of spr, unmarried children under 2 1 year old can also apply for spr, and so can those of sc.

8.sc has government subsidies for buying flats, but spr does not. It turned out that it was impossible to buy a new unit, and it needed to be bought in the resale market, so the first sc homeowner earned a difference of about 65,438+000,000. Not long ago, a new policy was introduced to buy some new properties. However, due to many restrictions and only apartments in certain areas, there are not many SDR beneficiaries of this new policy at present.

9. The advantage of spr is that you can enjoy (and must accept) the relevant payment regulations of provident fund like citizens, and you can get back part of the provident fund by canceling SPR. The personal income tax rate is also as low as sc. 2/kloc-over 0/year old, you can apply for SC—— if you have been doing SPR for 2-6 years (if you think this is also a welfare:). In addition, it is easier to find a job, because each company has a limit on the amount of work permits (foreigners have different work permits), but there is no limit on the employment of spr.

Basic conditions and materials for applying for PR

Path 1: As we all know, if PLMM marries GG in Singapore, it naturally takes 1 thoughtful 1 month to apply for PR in ICA with a marriage certificate (if MM has good qualifications, such as MS, BA, DIP and other diplomas, the success rate will certainly be faster, 100%). If handsome GG marries ugly MM in Singapore, the probability of PR getting a marriage certificate will be halved. There are many commercial marriage agencies (fake marriages) and the cost is quite high. Please be careful, because the consequences of being exposed are very serious, and you have to go to court ~ fine+prison. In infernal words, one will dry up millions of bones!

Path 2: business investment immigration, I won't say much about this, and I don't have any skills. If you are interested, you can go to ICA or EDB official website to check the information of investment immigrants (including mom and dad, the whole family should send at least S $1 million, most of which will be invested in government risk projects, and a few will operate by themselves).

Path 3: Skilled immigrants, this is very particular about your education and your company background. If you work in a local listed company or a multinational company, PR is almost within your reach. Skilled immigrants must first hold local EP, SPASS and P licenses (not to mention T-EP who graduated from PR and POLY for the time being). Generally speaking, SPASS is the most difficult to apply for, because SPASS is only an intermediate title, and the academic salary is lower than the other two types of licenses. Therefore, if you want to apply for PR with SPASS, you usually need at least half a year's salary table (M/S$ 1800+), which means you must work for more than half a year before you have a chance to apply successfully, otherwise it is useless to hand it over to the immigration office. There is also the time you stay in Singapore (I personally suggest that you graduate from a domestic university (master's degree/undergraduate degree/junior college), and it is best to wait in Singapore for less than two years 12 months before applying. In Singapore (public/private/master's/undergraduate/junior college), if your employer doesn't sign page EP 152 for you, you can write an explanation letter to ICA explaining why the company doesn't support you. Write more about how much you love Singapore and how much you want to stay in Singapore, and then say that you have fully integrated into this society without any exclusion. The content is roughly like this. By the way, the explanatory letter was submitted with your PR application form. The explanatory letter must be written in English and the format must be serious. People who have obtained EP permission will generally prepare the salary table (M/S $ 2500+) and tax return documents within six months, and then they can apply for evaluation conditions to see if your major is urgently needed in the local area. If it is urgently needed, the approval rate is high. Many holders of Class P licenses are unwilling to take Singapore PR, so let's not talk about it for the time being (P2(& gt；; S $3,500), p1(> S $7,000).) They don't need to apply for an invitation letter from the government and send it to their residence or company. This kind of person almost tore up one letter after another.

Path 4: Most students in government schools (Pri for primary school, Sec for secondary school, JC for preparatory course, Poly for science and engineering, Uni for university) will receive invitations from the government, so don't worry.

There are many unpopular ways, so I won't elaborate on them one by one.

About various work permits -EP, S-pass, WP, P 1, P2

Work permit, as its name implies, is a variety of permits for foreigners to work, so it includes the following types.

EP = Employment Pass, which is a kind of work pass. You can only apply if your monthly salary (basic salary) exceeds S $2,500. Divided into q1(> S $2,500), P2(& gt；; S $3,500), p1(> S $7,000). Of course, there are other conditions. Ep can apply for DP = dependent's pass-that is, you can apply for a visa for your family, that is, you can bring your family.

S pass, also a kind of work pass, is a kind of work pass for so-called "intermediate skilled workers". Only those whose monthly salary (basic salary) exceeds SGD 1800 can apply. Of course there are other conditions. If the monthly salary (basic salary) of S Pass holder exceeds S $2,500, you can apply for DP = dependent's Pass-that is, you can apply for a visa for your family, that is, you can bring your family.

WP= work permit, which is also a kind of work permit. It is a kind of work permit for foreign workers whose monthly salary (basic salary) is not higher than 1800.

About student id card

In addition, SP If you mean the student ID card (translation is for reference only), please note that the holder of the student ID card "is absolutely not allowed to engage in any form of paid or unpaid employment or any business, profession or occupation in Singapore during the validity period of the student ID card unless you have the written consent of the Director of Immigration. Violators will be investigated by law. " It means that you are not allowed to work, whether you have income or not. Unless there is a written consent from the director of immigration (translation for reference only), "will" will be taken to court (translation for reference only)-not possibly. . . So this permit has basically nothing to do with work. (The student ID card of the official school has special provisions to allow limited time work. )
