I worked in Singapore for two years. What are the requirements for becoming a permanent resident (getting a green card)?

The first step is to apply for employment in Singapore.

Step 2: Holding an employment permit (P permit or Q permit) and under 50 years old, you can apply for permanent residence in Singapore. If you are a male, you can apply for permanent residence for your wife and unmarried children under 2 1 year old. If she is a woman, she can only apply for permanent residence for unmarried children under the age of 2 1, and her husband must apply in his own name. Employment permit holders over the age of 50 can also apply, and the authorities will consider them on a case-by-case basis.

Required documents:

Original passport or other travel documents and copies of important pages (including personal data, entry and exit visas, etc.). )

1. ID card

2. Employment permit

3. Vocational qualification certificates and academic qualifications and degree certificates.

4. Marriage certificate

5. Birth certificates of the applicant, spouse and children.

6. Spouse education, degree certificate and ID card

7. Death certificate (if the spouse has died) or divorce certificate (if there is a history of divorce)

8 employer's letter reflecting the applicant's work attributes, working hours and salary.

9. Payment records of provident fund in the past 12 months (you can check with the Provident Fund Bureau) and income tax notices in the last three years.

10. If all certificates are in non-English, a formal English translation is required.

1 1. Generally, the processing time for permanent residents is about 6 months, and the Immigration Registration Bureau will inform the applicant of the results in writing. Not all eligible applications will be approved, and many people have to apply for permanent resident status several times.

If your application is approved, you will be granted an entry permit. The entry permit represents your permanent resident status in Singapore, and the required fee is S $65,438+000.

You can apply for re-entry permit at the same time as obtaining entry permit. Re-entry permit allows you to re-enter Singapore after leaving Singapore (such as traveling and visiting relatives). Generally speaking, the re-entry permit is valid for 5 years, and the annual fee is S $ 10, plus S $20 visa fee. The re-entry permit can be used multiple times within the validity period.

After obtaining permanent resident status, you need to apply for a permanent resident identity card (blue IC card).
