Hi All,


Good afternoon and thank you very much for your advice on the below.


My Girlfriend and I is considering getting married. We would like to know the chances of her getting a PR and later becoming a Singaporean. How long will it take?


Me: Singaporean. 48 years old. Yearly income around $100k. Own business.

She: Philippines. 38 years old. Yearly income around $30k. Admin holding S Pass for 5 years already.


No plans of having kids yet.


Thank you

From what I observe, mostly it depends on your profile, whether you have bad record or not, how CPF contribution, Tax payment, other contribution... Then come to your spouse profile.

Difficult to say, as the authorities apply criteria that are not published and differ from those for other foreigners (which are mostly discussed on this forum, so we have some first-hand knowledge).

A big negative is of course that you are beyond the age of having kids.

But why are you fixated on her becoming PR and/or citizen? Isn't it enough if she is allowed to live (and work) here? Some people don't even achieve that, see here:
