PR Basics

I have been working as a foreign worker in Singapore for two years. I was told that I must have a minimum salary of S$6,000 and a minimum five-year duration of stay to apply for PR. Can I apply now?

If you are an S Pass or Employment Pass holder, you can apply after six months of working and staying in Singapore. There is no such salary or duration of stay requirement. Generally, it is better to apply after two years of living and working in Singapore to have a IRAS tax profile, which can help your PR application.
