Hi everyone, my online name is Ricola. So you guys can call me Ric! Been on this forum for quite some time and reading some topics and questions by fellow forum users too. I do however need some enlightenment cause I am kinda in a dilemma whether I should apply this year or wait until next year 2025.

My information will be as follow:

Name: Ricola

Gender: Male

Age: 26

Nationality: Indonesian

Race: Malay (Mother tongue has been always Malay)

Occupation: Quality Engineer (On EP in one of the MNCs in SG)

Salary: Not so high (bring home about 4.3k a month) cause I just graduated from NTU in 2023 with a Bachelors Degree in Mechanical Engineering.

Education Background:

Primary School: East View Primary School, did and passed my PSLE.

Secondary School: Siglap Secondary School, did and passed my GCE O Level.

Tertiary: Temasek Polytechnic, did and obtained my Diploma.

University: Nanyang Technological University, did and obtained my Bachelors Degree.

Family Background:

My step dad: Singaporean

My step siblings: Singaporeans

My biological mother: Indonesian

Current situation: I am resigning from my company and my last day is 30th August 2024 and I will be joining the new company on 02 September 2024. As I am on EP, I have paid the necessary amount of tax when I am working in the current company after resigning.

With that, I have a few questions which I hope you guys might be able to guide and answer me

When should I apply my PR? Now while I am at my current company or wait for my new job at the new company to begin?
What are the chances of getting my PR Approved? The last time I applied PR was when i in Polytechnic taking my diploma and it was rejected (7 years ago).
Are there any other things which I could do increase my chances of getting PR?
Does my family background have an effect on my PR Application?

Thanks everyone! Have a blessed week ahead!

What can we say, without knowing your full vita in detail?

The exact PR approval criteria are (perhaps intentionally) kept unknown to the public - and do seem to change over time. So there is little advice we can give.

Normally I suggest waiting until you have worked for a full three years - but since you already spent most of your education here, this may not apply in your case.

It is up to you to decide when to apply for PR - and the only risk is getting a rejection (i.e. same result as if you don't apply).
