1. What are the requirements for immigration supervision in Singapore?

In fact, from the perspective of various laws and regulations, we have not found any specific requirements for immigration supervision in Singapore. It is just that when the permanent residence expires, some people did not get the PR extension because of their short stay. At present, Singapore PR is valid for five years. To be on the safe side, it is recommended that the holder live in Singapore for 2-3 years in a five-year cycle. After all, during this period, he will work or do business and pay taxes according to law, so it is much more likely that his green card will be renewed when it expires. In real cases, some applicants may have left Singapore for more than five years, but they still pay taxes normally during this period, only to be rejected when updating their PR status. There are also applicants who have been abroad for the same period of time and do not pay taxes in Singapore, but they have also been approved when updating their status. In this case, to be on the safe side, it is recommended to live in Singapore for 2-3 years within five years after obtaining permanent residency.
