Common Mistakes during Submission of PR Application
Many applicants fail to recognize the high standards that the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA) applies during the review process, which can lead to oversights. Some also neglect to demonstrate sufficient social integration efforts or are unaware of the government’s stance on immigration policies.
Importance of Supporting Documents & Accurate Guidance
Avoid PR Application Rejection!
Often, applicants submit only the compulsory documents, not realizing the importance of additional supporting documents. In some cases, applicants may be unaware of new or existing policies that could impact their application, relying instead on advice from friends or online forums, which may provide inaccurate or poor guidance. Additionally, errors during the submission process, typically taking 1.5 to 2.5 hours, can lead to delays or rejection.
A Singapore Permanent Resident (PR) application can be rejected for a number of reasons, including
Financial Instability

Employment History
Frequent job hops, poor performance reviews or gaps in employment
Incomplete Application
Mistakes, omissions, or inconsistencies in your PR application
Appeal Process
If the circumstances that led to your PR rejection is not applicable to you, you can submit an appeal. However, an appeal should only be made if you can present substantial new factors that strengthen your application.
Lack of Integration
Minimal community involvement, cultural understanding or language skills
Educational Qualifications
Lack of educational qualifications or recognised institutions
Age and Health
Older age and poor health may reduce PR approval chances significantly
Reapplication Process
