Heyy ya’all,
Curious about long term immigration prospects in Singapore. Did anyone did or look into this. We are an Indian couple with 8 yoe in the US and have a 2 year old daughter. Looking to immigrate to Singapore cause of its vicinity to India but we weren’t sure about a PR or other long term staying prospects there. Can anyone shed some light on their process?
Thank you

It’s expensive and if you lose job you’ll be back to India. Try countries which have better immigration like Canada, Europe or Australia.
Nothing is cheap, cars, housing, clothes. You’ll be stuck in 25 mile city in a hot humid weather always leaving you longing to travel out.
Schooling will cost you $2k per month per kid for Indian or mediocre school,$3/4k per month for international school. Foreigners do not have any chance in public schools.
Only thing which is cheap is food: chicken rice , pork and Chinese food stalls sell food at $3-8 per meal. Not sure if it’s worth making a move just for food. Most of these food stalls have hygiene rating of B or C. A rated stalls are usually $8 or more. Not many tell you why it’s cheap (rampant cases of food poisoning)
Yes singapore is expensive but overall what you can save is a lot more than you can in Europe or Canada or Australia.
Other countries i mentioned have clear path to citizenship in 3-5 years. The tax maybe comparable to US, but you get free schooling, free healthcare , retirement and unemployment benefits.
Come to Singapore to make decent money, pay low taxes and feel like you've touched the first world for a while. If you want long term stability - this is not the bet to make.
So if you are looking to get a PR/Citizenship then you're better off moving elsewhere.
skfks- My TC is less that 20k. But I know some ED's in JPMC who are still in employment pass. So there is no guarantee you'll get a PR based on 20K+ in comp.
