Singapore Citizen Application
The process for SG Citizenship applications are extremely lengthy and complicated.
The Government’s Selective Immigration model demands any eligible and outstanding Singapore Permanent Residents
be sure-footed in their applications.
On top of that, there are numerous contributing factors to a robust citizenship application that our team will be able to concisely present to clients.
Flexibility Of Visa
With the country’s strong bilateral ties, Singapore Passport holders face few travel restrictions across the world. One gets to enjoy the freedom and flexibility of Visa-free travel to different countries without needing to apply for any travelling pass with their respective embassies.
Health Care / Hospitalisation Subsidy
A Singapore citizen gets to enjoy a more considerable amount of subsidy for medical and hospitalization bills in Public Hospitals, Polyclinics and National Centres compared to a PR and a foreigner.
There are also additional government subsidies to finance the medical expenses of needy Singaporeans only.
Multiple Career Opportunities
Similar to a PR, there are always more job openings that will be available to Singaporean citizens and PRs based on the current government’s policies to ensure the locals are first and to be given priority in job opportunities.
Sponsorship Of Long-Term Passes And Permanent Residency For Family Members
A Singapore citizen is entitled to sponsor his/her direct family members – spouse, unmarried children under the age of 21, born within a legal marriage or legally adopted and aged parents to obtain a long-term staying visa or even a PR status. Whereas as a PR, you are only limited to sponsoring PRs for spouses and unmarried children under the age of 21.
Education
Singaporean children are entitled to a government initiative called the Edusave Scheme.
This scheme rewards children who do well in either their academic or non-academic activities and can also be used to help pay for the 2nd-Tier Miscellaneous Fee.
Also, Singapore Citizens pay the lowest fees for public education and are entitled to the most immense amount of subsidies for private and tertiary education.
Government PensionCentral Provident Fund (CPF)
The Central Provident Fund (CPF) scheme, in which a Singaporean employee or PR employee and their employer have to contribute a monthly minimum amount to the employee’s pension fund.
The scheme helps the individual financially on home-ownership, health care, children’s education, family protection and asset growth through investments and higher interest rates given.
CPF contributions can also be a form of tax relief, hence, resulting in a lower taxable income per year.
If one has been a PR for more than 2 years, the employees’ CPF contribution is the same as a Singapore Citizen.
