Marry Malaysian gals..

[SingViet]

My wife is a vietnamese. I will advise bros here to keep MANY copies of your education, CPF contribution, Pay Slip and Tax returns. You will need damm a lot of copies when you apply for PR for your wife. ICA's different departments requires them individually. For example, when you apply for PR for your wife, they require you to show all these documents. PR Matters is on 5th Floor of ICA building. After you apply for PR for your wife, u need to go down to Visitors Centre on 4th floor of ICA. They will again ask for all these documents to be submitted. Damm... don't understand why need to submit so many times. Aren't their computer linked?

But my case is super complicated... hehehe i have submitted the documents at least 3 times liao.

Erm...bro I understand your dilemma. Keke~ STSVP/LTSVP and Permanent Resident Services, although under one roof but acts differently. Of course their system is linked, but didn't you notice that if you have extend your LTSVP for your wife after the first renewal, you do not even need to re-submit all the documents again. Just the important one like original/photocopy of marriage cert, photocopy of your NRIC and your wife's travel document. Lastly is your last 12 mths of CPF contribution. As for PR application, no choice you have to re-submit them again and again till you get it approve.

But why you need to go down to visitor centers again to submit your applicationa again?

Not true, but it is subjected to MOM's approval for those currently holding WP or those who had hold work permit before. All Ex or current work-permit holders, are not allowed to marry a Singaporean or PR unless he has written permission from the Controller of Work Permits. If those who violate this regulation of not informing MOM before ROM registration, what bro jeshezman says is correct. Furthermore he/she is not allowed to return for an unspecified period of time.

Under the Marriage Restriction Policy, a work permit-holder must seek permission from the Controller of Work Permits to marry a Singaporean or PR, whether in or outside Singapore.

So please do not attempt to go backdoor. (I mean behind MOM's back.) But I got one small little good news to assure you. MOM has approved over 85 per cent of applications by work permit-holders to marry locals.

Thanks to all bros who had adviced me.
I am quite relived to hear that MOM has approved over 85 per cent of applications by work permit-holders to marry locals....hehehe...

My dear bro, it's "Thanks to all bros who had advised me."

Do not worry too much about the approval. You will be a happy bridegroom with a happy bride in Oct/Nov.

Tks~ for relating your friend's incident. Sadly but true this is SGP style, reason is because they doesn't want low-skilled or uneduvated workers to blend into the SGP community by going back-door to marry with SGP citizens or PR. But SGP welcomes foreign talents with open arms and legs, grant them PR, privileges. Contradict isn't it?

Bro I understand the complexity of such case, esp. relating to past divorce. If the proceedings had been properly completed and finalised, shouldn't be any problem. ICA very meticulous towards divorcee.

Need some advice from brothers here.

I have cheong a lot of TN shops. But there was this PRC syt whom I have developed feelings for. We have gone out for several times and I have been to her rented apartment once.

However, I feel that she sometimes is warm and sometimes cold to me.

She says she likes me too but needs time to slowly work things out.

Any advise? I know I am playing with fire coz PRC gals are known to like only $$$.

Traced back to your previous post, I'm just giving you my thought. Dun rush love, especially thru such encounter. Give yourself some lead time before discussing marriage plans later. Dun get married for the sake of it.

From my knowledge, the rules(updated) are:

Marriage(Foreign spouse):
a. If foreign spouse is presently working or used to work in Singapore before, you need to apply to MOM for permession to get married but lately many new application has comes back with a standard reply" You are not required to seek permession to marry a Singaporan citizen." So the rule has change but check first better.
b. If foreign spouse has never work in Singapore before, you need only register your marriage in Singapore. With the marriage certificate, apply to ICA for dependent pass. They will grant you a 6 monthly or yearly entry permit(renewal basis) for your spouse. You need to prepare a list of documents for your application. ID, birth certificate, income proof, letter from eomployer, income tax for past 3 years, cpf for last 12 months, educational certificate.

PR Application:
Irrespective of whether spouse has work in Singapore or never, you still can apply PR for her. The documents needed are:
a. ID, birth certificate, passport(including photocopy of endorsemnet pages).
b. Educational certificate(If in chinese, must be translated by certified translator at Supreme Court)
c. Income tax for past 3 years
d. CPF contribution for past 12 months
e. Letter of employment stating last 6 months salary
f. Marriage certificate
g. If have children, birth certificate

Go to www.ica.gov.sg. Click on PR services to find out more and download Form 4 for PR application(for married spouse).

Most PR application will be rejected at first attempt and need to try again after 1 year. Contrary to myth that income plays a part, it is only a consideration. But if you have a good and steady income, it helps. If you have children, you will amost 100% get it at 1st or 2nd try.

Remember, ICA will grant your spouse PR. It's just a matter of time. If your effort is frustrated after a few attempts. then knock on your MP door to write ligthning letter to ICA.
