Is Singapore's immigration policy strict?

What conditions can I immigrate to Singapore? In the early years, Singapore's immigration regulations were very loose because no one wanted to come. Later, with the economic development, a rising tide lifts all boats, Singapore became prosperous, and the immigration threshold became higher. But in recent years, in order to attract immigrants, the threshold has been lowered. When you create more value for the country than ordinary Singaporeans, or the new government thinks you have this potential, you can emigrate. People in China need to work in Singapore first, hold a work permit, and then apply directly to the Immigration Bureau without an intermediary. The application fee and the fee for handling the ID card are less than 65,438 yuan+0,000 yuan. Simply put, Singapore needs three kinds of people: 1) capable people, 2) educated people and 3) rich people. The first two categories are not bad. No one knows what specific conditions are needed to immigrate to Singapore (except for investment immigration), because everything is done behind closed doors. Unlike other countries, which have immigration scores, you can immigrate if the scores exceed. The Singapore government has adopted a similar system, but this is only known to people inside the Immigration Department, who will not publish the standards. This has two advantages. First, it won't give people a chance to exploit loopholes. The second immigration bureau can handle it flexibly according to the specific situation, without being bound by rules and regulations, and no one will complain because of the scale problem. In a word, the benefits have been taken away by the shrewd government, which is the characteristic of Singapore. Singapore wants to increase its population by 50%. Due to the family planning policy in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China (only having two children), Singapore's human resources in the new economic era are seriously inadequate, so the Singapore government has increased the local population by attracting immigrants. 1990 there are only over 3 million people in Singapore, 4 million people in 1998 and 4.5 million people in 2008. The population here refers to Singapore citizens and Singapore permanent residents (so-called green card holders are actually a blue identity card). On an island of more than 600 square kilometers, excluding nature reserves, reservoirs and military land, how many people does a small country with an actual use area of only more than 300 square kilometers need? The answer of the Singapore government is 6.5 million. Singapore's relaxation of the immigration policy of 6.5 million people means that the current population will double, and only in this way can we ensure sustained and rapid economic growth. After SARS, the Singapore government gradually relaxed its immigration policy. Among them, the number of people who obtain Singapore citizenship exceeds 654.38+million every year, compared with only 6,000 five years ago. The number of people who have obtained permanent residency has also greatly increased. Every year, more people are added through immigration than newborn babies. After the news came out, the number of people applying for permanent residents and citizens in Singapore surged. When I applied for permanent residence in Singapore five or six years ago, I queued for less than an hour. Now you need to queue up at 7 am to get the number, and it's your turn at sunset in the afternoon. Second-rate talents are the most popular. Managing a country is like managing a big enterprise. The mainstay is always a second-rate talent. Therefore, although first-class talents are also welcomed by the government and immigration is not a problem, the Singapore government likes middle-class talents best, but they are not as good as top talents, but their expectations for themselves are not so high, so it is easier to stay in Singapore. If you run away with a Singapore passport, the Singapore government will lose more than it gains. Married with children, second-rate talents, local industries, and a lot of provident funds, they can't even run. This is the favorite of the Singapore government. 1997 After the return of Hong Kong, Singapore absorbed more than 8,000 Hong Kong families at one time, most of whom were ordinary citizens. Can I immigrate when I get married? If your contribution to Singapore's economy is below average, there are other ways to immigrate and get married, but you can't become a Singapore citizen immediately. You need to apply for a Singapore green card first, and then become a Singapore citizen in two years. I have to mention a notorious law in Singapore. In order to prevent foreign workers from taking advantage of the opportunity of working in Singapore to marry local people and stay in Singapore, the law stipulates that anyone who holds or has held a labor permit must obtain the approval of the Ministry of Manpower if he marries local people. In another recent case, an Indian woman worker married a Singaporean man under a false identity. She applied to the human resources department with her real identity, but the human resources department refused to approve it, so she made this decision. There are many posts scolding Singapore on the Internet, many of which are related to Singapore's rigid policies. I believe that some people have had unpleasant experiences and will gnash their teeth so much. There is also a ridiculous policy of the realistic Singapore government, that is, girls with job security can't give birth in Singapore, and if they are pregnant, they can't let their children get Singapore status. The government's starting point is good. They want to control the quality of the population, and people with diplomas and high salaries are the objects they are looking for. Most of the Singapore passports issued by the government are intellectuals and successful people with good incomes. Singapore green card is a second-class citizen economically. Singapore green card is more expensive than citizens to see a doctor and buy a house. Economically, he is a second-class citizen. It is said that American green cards enjoy the same rights as American citizens, but they have no right to vote. On the one hand, the Singapore government is forcing new immigrants to become Singapore citizens, and on the other hand, it is also to appease the mood of its own people. When immigrants account for half of the population, local people will be more or less uncomfortable.
