Notably, Singapore Permanent Residents (PR) enjoy a wide spectrum of perks. For one, they are provided with most of the rights and duties of Singapore citizens such as government-sponsored housing. But the biggest – and most appealing – benefit is having the right to stay in Singapore without visa restrictions. With a PR status, one has the right to live and leave Singapore anytime they want.
A PR’s spouse and unmarried children under 21 are also eligible to apply for permanent residence. A PR’s children are on the high-priority list to enter Singapore public schools. It may also be important to note that permanent residence allows you to switch jobs in Singapore without the risks of reapplying for a new work visa.
