Some Benefits of Singapore Permanent Residence to Foreign Citizens

  1. Ease if Travelling: Traveling becomes quite hassle-free when you have a PR. The Singapore government will give you a blue card which will act as an identity document, this card enables you to travel across the country or even overseas.
  2. Citizenship: If you have decided to put down your roots in this country, then a PR can help you apply for citizenship further. Singapore PR even allows you to include your spouse or unmarried children(below 21 years of age). Children of less than 18 years of age are on high priority. 
  3. Long term Visa for Parents: You can apply for an extended-stay visa for your parents. The PR of Singapore could extend the stay of your parents without any difficulty. Your parents and you can enjoy more time with each other.
  4. Tax Benefits: You can enjoy the tax benefits of Singapore. Now, some might be wondering how can paying a tax be beneficial? It is because, after PR you will be paying taxes as a normal resident, but the twist is that here you will get access to CPF. CPF will allow you to pay for your own needs. When you are a Singaporean worker, your employer pays your monthly salary to CPF. This scheme will help you build your funds and even retirement funds that fulfil your needs. 
  5. Investments and Borrowings: Establishing or running a business becomes much more convenient if you have PR. Since the PR process demands various evidence of your financial/personal and academic background it makes you more trustworthy to the government. It is easier to get loans for your business. You can also buy more properties and extend your business.
