Applying for Singapore PR as an EP Holder

As an Employment Pass (EP) holder, securing Singapore Permanent Residency (PR) offers numerous advantages, including increased career flexibility, access to healthcare and educational resources, and the stability of long-term residence. At Assurance Immigration, we are dedicated to supporting you through each step of this process. Our team provides tailored strategies and expert advice to enhance your chances of success, helping you build a fulfilling future in Singapore.


A strong PR application requires demonstrating your commitment to Singapore and meeting key eligibility requirements. Showcasing your involvement in the local community, highlighting your long-term goals, and, if applicable, any family ties can make your application more compelling.


The path to PR involves gathering essential documentation and emphasizing your potential contributions to Singapore’s society and economy. With Assurance Immigration’s guidance, we help you navigate each requirement, offering the professional support you need to present a solid case and achieve your goal of making Singapore your permanent home.

01 Employment Pass Requirement

Only existing EP holders are eligible to apply for PR. While you technically can apply on your first day as an EP holder, waiting at least six months is generally recommended. This allows time to collect six months' worth of payslips as evidence of stable employment.

02 Income Bracket

Your monthly earnings can play a key role in the PR assessment process. Generally, higher salaries are associated with stronger applications, reflecting financial stability and the ability to contribute economically to Singapore.

03 Educational Qualifications

Your academic background can positively influence your PR application, especially if you hold higher qualifications from recognized institutions. A solid educational foundation is often viewed favorably as it demonstrates your potential to contribute to Singapore’s development.

04 Age of Applicant

Age is considered in the PR application process, with younger applicants often perceived as having a longer potential to contribute. However, applicants of all ages who meet other key criteria and demonstrate dedication to Singapore’s development may still be eligible for PR.

05 Family Connections

Having close family members who are Singaporean citizens or permanent residents can support your PR application. It highlights familial ties to the country and may increase the chances of your application’s success.

06 Community Involvement

Engagement in local initiatives, such as volunteer work or other social contributions, can strengthen your PR application. Demonstrating a genuine commitment to the community reflects positively on your intention to integrate into Singaporean society.

07 In-Demand Skills and Qualifications

Specialized skills and experience that align with Singapore’s demand areas can improve your PR application’s prospects. Expertise that contributes to key local industries is viewed as beneficial to the country’s workforce.

08 Stable Employment Record

Having a solid employment history in Singapore, with consistent contributions to the workforce, can enhance the strength of your PR application. This demonstrates both your commitment and stability.
