Aug. 16, 2007 - PRLog -- It is common for people having experienced the Singapore life seeking permanent Residence to sustain the quality living. Beyond education qualifications, Singapore also looks for those with relevant experience and/or specific skills that can add vibrancy and diversity, and meet the needs of our economy.

Generally an applicant can seek PR status under the following grounds

   Scheme for Professional /Technical Personnel/Skilled Workers

Permanent Residents (PR) status under the Professionals, Technical Personnel & Skilled Workers Scheme (PTS) is conferred to those who have secured employment in Singapore prior to PR application. They should also hold an Employment Pass (P or Q Pass). Applicants must be below 50 years of age. The spouse and unmarried children (below 21 years of age) of a PR may also apply for PR status. Applicants under this scheme will be assessed by a Points System, which takes into account the type of employment pass, duration of stay in Singapore, academic qualifications, basic monthly salary, age, kinship ties in Singapore
