How soon can Singapore be naturalized?

There are four immigration modes in Singapore, as shown in the figure below. The fastest is the first and fourth, and naturalization immediately. The second method is commonly used. Skilled immigrants can apply for permanent residence after holding the SP/EP work permit in Singapore for half a year, and decide whether to approve it within one to three months. Permanent residents can apply for Singapore citizenship after two years. If all goes well, two years, seven months to three years.

1. Investment immigration

According to the relevant policies of the Singapore government, foreigners can directly become permanent residents of Singapore as long as they invest S $6.5438+RMB 5,000. This plan is mainly for entrepreneurs from all over the world. The aim is to attract more entrepreneurs to invest in Singapore. 50% of the investment funds can be used to buy self-occupied residential properties. Applicants for investment immigration must first register a limited company in Singapore, and then submit investment plans and home purchase applications. Investment funds can be put in place by stages. Relevant investment projects must be operated for at least 5 years. Investors' family members, spouses and children under 2 1 year can automatically become permanent residents. Parents can apply for long-term visas for their relatives to live in Singapore. Children over 2 1 year need to apply separately, and the chances of being approved are very high.

2. Skilled immigrants

The Singapore government welcomes professional and technical elites from all over the world to settle in Singapore. Any person with a college degree or above and professional and technical personnel can apply for permanent residence in Singapore. But first you must be employed by a local company in Singapore. Obtain an employment permit (EP) first. Permit holders can apply to the Singapore Immigration Bureau for permanent residence and be approved as permanent residents (PR). It usually takes 3-6 months from application to approval. At present, it is easier for applicants in the following majors to obtain work permits: computer engineering, electronic engineering, construction engineering, nursing, Chinese education and so on.

3. Marriage migration

According to the relevant regulations of Singapore, anyone who marries a Singaporean citizen or permanent resident (male or female) is eligible to apply for permanent resident. However, the Singapore Immigration Bureau will handle each applicant on a case-by-case basis, and not every applicant can obtain permanent resident status. However, as long as the application is really a marriage with a Singapore citizen or permanent resident, and the application materials and relevant supporting documents submitted are complete and correct, the discipline of obtaining approval for the application is great. I would like to remind applicants not to falsify. Singapore Immigration Bureau has made great efforts in counterfeiting. Once identified, it is difficult for the applicant to enter Singapore. Even if you successfully immigrate to Singapore by using a fake marriage, as long as someone reports it or continues to investigate through the Immigration Bureau, your permanent resident status will be cancelled. In recent years, many people cheat the rights of permanent residents through fake marriages. After being reported, their permanent resident status was revoked.

4. Special immigrants

Anyone who has made special contributions in world-class fields, such as the world champion of a certain sport. Such people can directly apply to become permanent residents of Singapore.
