Landed Permanent Residence (LPR) FAQ

  1. Are all LPR applications guaranteed to be approved?
    No. There are no guarantees that your LPR application will be approved. You can check with your local agent, and they will also say the same. Singapore Immigration & Checkpoint Authority is the final approving authority for LPR application. But all my clients so far are all approved. My advice is as long as you fulfill all the requirements, and you do not have any bad records in Singapore, you have a big chance to be approved.

  2. Is LPR the same as PR ?
    The answer can be yes or no. Yes, if it's related to job offer. LPR is treated the same as PR in job application. But LPR is only a temporary PR, it only allows you to stay and look for job for at most 1 year, you have to find a job within that time to convert to PR. After you get your PR, you can stay long term and enjoy more benefits compared to other foreigners.

  3. What are the benefits of being PR?
    As a PR, you are considered a Singapore residence, so you can stay for long term in Singapore, without feeling worry for visa extension. You can apply for a library membership, credit card easily. You get subsidized on medical bill. You can purchase public housing flat, etc.

  4. I heard that being a PR, my salary is cut off? Is that true?
    That's absolutely wrong! As a PR, your salary is added by the company, for first year PR, you earn 104% of your salary, 2nd year 109%, 3rd year and so on 114.5% . The amount that is deducted is your cash portion, but the deduction plus additional from company will go into your CPF saving account. This is still your money, you can use it to buy property, for medical bill, and for retirement. For more info about CPF, please click here.

    How about if I take a LPR and go after few months like 10 months or something.. Is it something I need to visit within x duration?? actually I might go to some other country for office work after some time..?? I know there is a risk of getting job within limited period. however what is the risk?
