Service
Singapore PR application guidance, from strategy to submission.
We help EP and S Pass holders prepare complete, well-organised PR applications. Honest assessment first, then a clear plan you can follow with confidence.
In short: Singapore Permanent Residency lets eligible foreigners live and work in Singapore without a work pass. Applications are submitted online through the ICA e-Service and decided by the Immigration & Checkpoints Authority based on your overall profile. We help you assess your readiness, choose your timing, prepare your documents, and submit a complete application. No consultant can guarantee approval.
Who this service is for
This service is designed for working professionals in Singapore who want experienced support with their PR application:
- Employment Pass holders applying under the Professionals, Technical Personnel and Skilled Workers (PTS) scheme.
- S Pass holders who want a realistic view of their readiness before applying.
- Professionals applying together with a spouse and children as dependants.
- First-time applicants who want to avoid common mistakes, and repeat applicants who want a stronger second attempt.
If your pass type is different, or you are applying through family ties, see our family PR application service or contact us to check whether we can help.
What is included
- Profile assessment. We review your employment history, income, education, length of stay, family profile, and contributions in Singapore, and tell you honestly where you stand.
- Timing strategy. Applying too early is one of the most common reasons applications fail. We advise whether to apply now or strengthen your profile first.
- Document roadmap. You receive a personalised checklist covering identity, employment, education, income, and family documents, so nothing is missed.
- Profile presentation. We help you present your career story, stability, and commitment to Singapore clearly, including guidance on your cover letter and supporting materials.
- Submission guidance. We guide you through the ICA e-Service submission step by step, and check that your forms and uploads are complete and consistent.
- Post-submission support. We help you respond if ICA requests additional documents, and advise on next steps after the outcome.
How the process works
- Free consultation. Share your goals and current situation. We give you an initial honest assessment with no obligation.
- Eligibility and strategy review. We assess your full profile and recommend whether and when to apply.
- Document preparation. We work through your personalised checklist together and organise a complete document set.
- Submission. You submit through the official ICA e-Service with our step-by-step guidance.

What we will not do
We believe trust is built through honesty. We will not promise guaranteed approval, claim any special relationship with ICA, or encourage you to apply when your profile is clearly not ready. All PR decisions are made solely by ICA. What we can do is make sure your application is complete, accurate, and presented as strongly as your real profile allows.

FAQ
Singapore PR application questions, answered.
How much does a Singapore PR application cost?
ICA charges S$100 per applicant at submission, which is non-refundable. If the application is approved, there are further government fees of S$20 for the Entry Permit, S$50 for a 5-year Re-Entry Permit, and S$50 for the Singapore Identity Card. Our professional fees are separate and are discussed transparently during your free consultation.
How long does a Singapore PR application take to process?
ICA states that applications are processed within six months, provided all required documents are submitted and in order. Some applications take longer, especially complex cases or those requiring additional documents.
Do I need a consultant to apply for Singapore PR?
No. You can apply on your own through the ICA e-Service. A consultant is useful if you want an experienced review of your profile, help judging the right time to apply, and support preparing a complete, well-organised submission with a clear cover letter.
Can my family be included in my PR application?
Yes. Your spouse and unmarried children below 21 can usually be included in your application as dependants, provided they hold valid immigration status in Singapore. See our family PR application service for details.
