Is it easy to immigrate to Singapore? What are the requirements?

It's too difficult. As early as 20 10, Singapore adjusted the application threshold for investment immigrants, but still received many cases submitted in accordance with the old policy but not in time to file. Recently, new progress has been made in the trial of these cases. During the two weeks from the end of last month to June, 65438+ 10/2, the Singapore Economic Development Board issued thousands of refusal letters, which cast a shadow over the immigration trend in Singapore in 20 12. To this end, our reporter interviewed Fiona, a senior immigration lawyer, to explain in detail the impact of this visa refusal on Singapore immigration applicants.

Fiona believes that Singapore's economic system is closely linked with the whole international community. In recent years, with the development of Singapore's immigration economy, the Singapore Immigration Bureau has formulated and constantly improved the conditions for immigration to Singapore. Since 2011110, the Singapore Economic Development Board and the HKMA have implemented the new policy of investment immigration plan, and the investment amount and application requirements have been comprehensively improved. Among them, SDB's investment immigration plan is changed from the original S $6,543.8+0,000, S $6,543.8+0.5 million and S $2 million. HKMA plans to increase its investment from S $5 million to S $654.38 million.

"So many applicants robbed the last bus of the old government, which led to a sharp increase in the number of applicants in a short period of time." Fiona explained.

The Singapore Economic Development Board recently approved those "last bus" cases, and many applications received rejection letters. According to past experience, after submitting an application, a case basically needs an interview to get the final approval result. However, these applicants received a rejection notice from the official without receiving the interview notice, and the rejection letter did not even explain any reason.

When it comes to visa refusal, Fiona thinks that "except for customers who submitted in accordance with the New Deal on 20 1 1, the cases of visa refusal are basically cases applied in 20 10 and a few cases applied in 2009, including a few applications that have been discussed with the Economic Development Bureau in accordance with the standards of the New Deal."

According to the reporter's understanding, at present, the immigration companies have received most of the refusal letters, and it is expected that the next batch of refusal letters will be received in the near future. Companies are further communicating with the Economic Development Bureau for confirmation.

Fiona believes that this large-scale refusal is mainly because the new law has come into effect when these cases are handed over to the Immigration Bureau, but the applicants still prepare materials according to the old law. "Therefore, these are non-subjective factors, and these refusals do not affect those who submit cases under the new law. Applicants for the new law need not panic. " Fiona especially reminds people who intend to immigrate to Singapore to think carefully. "There are certain risks in submitting cases at this stage of policy change. The applicant must choose a good time when submitting the case. At present, there is a big gap between Singapore's internal approval policies and regulations. Those who intend to immigrate to Singapore can choose one more country to handle it at the same time, so as not to be affected. "
