How to immigrate to Singapore

Apart from investing in immigration projects (investing S $2.5 million in a fund designated by the Singapore government for five years), it is more realistic for ordinary people in China to obtain permanent residency by obtaining permission, and then to be naturalized after living in Singapore for several years.

At present, there are three main types of such licenses:

1 Employment Pass

2. Personalized employment pass.

3. Entrance pass

But now in Singapore, it is more difficult to obtain a license or passport through naturalization than it was 2-3 years ago. This can be seen from the picture. Although the number of applicants for permanent residence and passports in Singapore is increasing every year, the number of passports issued has plummeted from 79,000 in 2008, and has not exceeded 30,000 in subsequent years.

Compared with previous years, the Singapore government has raised the monthly income threshold requirement for employment permits.

Although Singapore literally only needs a fixed P-type employment permit with a minimum monthly income of $3,300, in the actual operation of Singapore's Ministry of Manpower, they will require applicants to have higher salary and more experienced work experience. An informed friend in Singapore told us that a monthly income of $8,000 and more than five years of professional work experience are the realistic threshold for the Singapore government's P-type employment permit.

Of course, the premise is that there is a Singapore company to OFFER you. In recent years, foreign workers have seized a large number of local jobs, causing dissatisfaction among Singaporeans. The People's Action Party even fell to an all-time low because of the problem of foreign workers.

Therefore, the Singapore government has to ask enterprises to ensure the employment of local people. They tightened the application for employment permits for semi-skilled and unskilled workers and issued quotas to employers. Every time you hire a non-Singaporean employee, you need to pay an extra foreign tax. Moreover, before hiring a foreign employee, employers in Singapore must advertise for local people for at least 65,438+04 days to fill the vacancy. If they really can't recruit people, they can get permission to apply for employment permits for foreigners.

Therefore, if you want to find a good job in Singapore, you must have two brushes, so that employers will be willing to help you apply for an employment permit. If you graduated from two TOP2 universities in Singapore, National University of Singapore and NTU University, there is basically no problem in finding a job. You have lived in Singapore for a long time after you found a job and got an employment permit. If you get the highest employment permit, you can apply for permanent residency after about 1 year. If it is a P2 license, it will take about 4-5 years.

In addition, Singapore also has the Entre Pass program, which aims to attract start-ups that have been established for less than six months. But like other licenses, unless your startup company has some special patents or intellectual property rights, or has angel investment from local institutions recognized by the Singapore government, it is difficult for you to apply for Entre Pass. I hope these can help you. That's all I know.
