Work Permit holders are not eligible to apply for Singapore PR, and an assessment would not change that. If your situation has other angles — a spouse or family member applying, or a different pass in view — tell us on WhatsApp or by phone and we will give you a straight answer.

Singapore Citizenship applications are assessed on your record as a Permanent Resident, so there is not yet enough for us to assess. When you are closer to the mark we would be glad to look properly — and if you would like to know what the intervening years are best spent on, ask us on WhatsApp or by phone.

Frequently Asked Questions
Got any question? we've got answers.
Quick answers to the most common questions about our services and process.
Should I appeal a rejection or wait to reapply?
You can appeal within six months, but success is rare unless there is a significant change in circumstances (e.g., a major promotion, marriage to a citizen, or a new child). If your profile remains the same, it is better to wait and build a stronger record of community involvement and economic growth before submitting a fresh application.
How can I improve my chances of Singapore citizenship approval?
Focus on strengthening what ICA explicitly weighs: (i) stable employment and consistent contributions, (ii) clear family roots in Singapore (where applicable), (iii) longer residency track record, (iv) evidence of integration (community involvement, children in local system where relevant) and (v) complete, clean, well-documented submission (missing documents can derail you fast)
Why does ICA not provide reasons for rejection?
ICA maintains a policy of non-disclosure to prevent "gaming" of the system. Rejections usually stem from demographic balancing, a perceived lack of integration, or insufficient economic "rootedness." If rejected, it simply means your profile did not meet the prevailing benchmark at that specific time.
Can I lose my Singapore citizenship if I live overseas?
Citizenship is generally permanent, but it can be revoked if a citizen resides outside Singapore for more than 10 years continuously without ever using or renewing a Singapore passport. To protect your status while living abroad, it is vital to maintain a valid passport and stay connected to the Singaporean community.
What are the primary housing and financial benefits for Singapore citizen?
Citizens enjoy exclusive access to subsidized BTO flats and pay 0% Additional Buyer's Stamp Duty (ABSD) on their first property (vs. 5% for PRs). They are also eligible for housing grants of up to S$80,000. Additionally, only citizens receive the Baby Bonus cash gift and full government healthcare subsidies like Medifund.
