Although filling out an application may seem straightforward, there are more than ten different components of your profile that the government will consider when evaluating your application for PR/Citizenship. In addition, there are several additional aspects that are not well-known to the public, but which we can advise on due to our extensive knowledge and connections. We can recommend different agencies or organizations to help you build your case, and we can provide viable solutions to every aspect of your life in Singapore that may be considered by the reviewing authorities. Our expertise in strategizing is crucial in the case-building process. Do not leave something as important as your PR/Citizenship application to chance.

We ensure that our clients’ documents are of the highest quality and comply with the requirements of the reviewing authorities by utilizing our extensive knowledge and experience. We have a paperless system that is accessible through a secure portal, and all documents are securely stored in our system and private network, which is an uncommon practice in the industry. We keep our Document Controllers updated on all the latest changes to the system, ensuring that your final application is not unexpectedly rejected during submission.

Our personalized service ensures that our clients can adhere to a workable timeline that promises an unrushed submission that remains as fuss-free as possible. We exercise great flexibility with clients to minimize physical meetups if and where necessary, which translates to minimal disruption to their schedules.

We have noticed a significant difference in the prices quoted. Unfortunately, it seems that the prices are often tied to the client’s income level.

At Top Notch Immigrations, we are committed to long-term partnerships with our clients, and we strictly follow our internal pricing guidelines. We believe in providing fair pricing based on the amount of work required, not on the size of your pay check.

We take a meticulous approach to every case, assigning a dedicated Documents Controller and Consultant for the entire service period of at least one year. While the amount of work we do justifies higher prices, we promise to deliver top-quality and excellent services for less.

We have a transparent fixed pricing plan that is tailored to fit each client’s profile and needs, without any hidden costs or marketing gimmicks. Our services involve comprehensive checks to ensure that all documents meet the reviewing authorities’ standards, and we use our insider knowledge to present the best case forward for our clients, eliminating potential rejection risks. Our charges are based on two factors: the immediate family size of the applicant and the complexity of the case, such as a prior criminal history or having been rejected multiple times by the ICA/MOM.

We recognize that each case we handle is unique and cannot be approached with a one-size-fits-all method. That’s why we will carefully review your entire profile during our consultation and explain your current and improved chances of success through our services.

Singapore Permanent Residency is one of the most sought-after immigration statuses in Singapore, second only to citizenship. It provides a plethora of benefits, including the ability to reside, work, and purchase property in the country at a reduced tax rate, as well as access to various privileges such as unrestricted travel.

Additionally, PR children receive priority in the public education system, and employers are required to make CPF contributions. PR holders are no longer required to apply for a new work visa when transferring jobs.

However, with these benefits come certain responsibilities that the government can enforce, such as military service, which male PR children are obligated to undertake once they reach 18.

To demonstrate a strong commitment to residing in Singapore, it is advisable for both you and your spouse/family to submit your PR applications jointly rather than separately.

You can submit an application for ICA’s consideration after you have been working here on an Employment or S Pass for some time.

If they are above 21 years old your children will have to apply on their own merits. If your children are below 21 years old your children can apply for Singapore PR under your sponsorship.

Only Singapore citizens can sponsor their parent(s) for Singapore PR. Parent(s) of Singapore PRs can apply for PR on their own merits if they are employed in Singapore on an Employment or S pass.

It is not a prerequisite to have an employer’s sponsorship to apply to be a Singapore Permanent Resident (PR).

However, the PR status does not exempt an individual from registration or any other conditions required under the respective professions for which professional registration to practise in Singapore is prerequisite (e.g. medicine, dentistry, pharmacy, architecture, law, etc.).

For documents that are not in English language, ICA accepts translation done by the Embassy of the document-issuing country or a Notary Public in Singapore. A privately translated copy attested by the Embassy of the document-issuing country or notarized by a Notary Public in Singapore is also acceptable. ICA does not endorse any private translation companies or entities.

Changing jobs while your PR application is being processed will not negatively affect your chances, as long as you don’t have a history of frequently switching jobs. In fact, getting a promotion or a higher salary may even improve your chances. It is essential that you are seen as a stable and responsible candidate by the ICA.

Before making any changes to your employment or personal profile, such as having a newborn, it’s important to contact us so that we can assist you in preparing the necessary documents.
