1. Five ways to apply for a green card in Singapore
I. Immigrants studying abroad
Students who have graduated from five public universities and government polytechnic schools in Singapore can apply for green cards. Students who graduated from other private universities have to work in Singapore for one or two years before they can apply.
If students study green cards in Singapore, the Singapore Study Abroad Service Center suggests that students can choose to pass the "O"/"A" level and directly enter the government polytechnic or the government will support their studies and provide 70%-80% tuition fees every year. After you have passed the GCE "O"/"A" education certificate examination in Cambridge, Singapore, you can successfully enter one of the polytechnics or universities, and then you can apply for a Singapore green card after graduation.
Second, the labor permit (WP)
Minimum level license, no diploma required. It is completely linked to the employer and cannot be extended. If it is postponed, it must be reapplied.
You are not allowed to enter or leave Singapore at will. Once you leave your job, your license will automatically expire. Applicants must not be in Singapore at the time of application. Wages are mostly below 1800 (SGD, the same below). Not eligible to apply for permanent residency.
Three. Professional license
Intermediate pass, college diploma and above have the right to apply. Some of them are linked to their employers, and they can extend their stay and leave Singapore at will. Once you leave your job, the license is still valid within the validity period, but you must find a new employer as soon as possible, otherwise you will be sent back to China immediately once it expires. Applicants can be in Singapore at the time of application. Eligible to apply for PR.
Fourth, the talent license (EP)
Advanced passes, excellent college diplomas and various advanced vocational qualification certificates recognized by Singapore all have the right to apply.
The treatment is basically the same as SP, with two differences: EP holders have the right to apply for family permission (DP) for one of their immediate family members, and DP holders can live in Singapore for a long time and cannot work. If they want to work, they must apply for various work permits (except WP).
V. Getting married
This method is relatively rare. Usually, when a girl marries a Singaporean, after a certain period of marriage, 90% of her children will approve, but if you are a man, marrying a Singaporean girl may not necessarily approve of you. Look at people, 90% women or 70% men.
Holders of EP or S Pass work permits in Singapore can apply for PR (Permanent Resident) from the Immigration Bureau.
The main factors that need to be considered when applying for work permit PR are educational background, permit type, salary, industry, time in Singapore, new property, family situation and so on.
Personally, I don't think there is any shortcut to job hunting PR, so I should submit my real materials in a down-to-earth manner, and don't leave a record of submitting false materials. Even if it is rejected, it will not affect the second PR application.
