Permanent resident status available through various pathways: employment (EP/S Pass), investment (GIP), family sponsorship, or special categories. PR holders enjoy most benefits of citizenship except voting rights.
Singapore's Permanent Residency grants long-term resident status through schemes managed by the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA), including the Professional/Technical Personnel and Skilled Workers (PTS) route, the Global Investor Programme (GIP), and family sponsorship.
PR is indefinite unless revoked, and dependents may join. Holders access the Central Provident Fund (CPF), subsidised healthcare, and priority in public schools, but cannot vote or hold a passport. Second-generation male PRs must serve National Service. Fees total SGD 220 across the permits and NRIC.
This visa is ideal for skilled professionals, investors, or family members of citizens or residents seeking near-citizen rights and a stable base in Singapore.
