TL;DR: No agency controls ICA’s decision. Pick a provider based on what gap in your application their agreed work actually closes — document review, a written submission, or follow-up on a request for more information — not on a headline success rate. Compare five named providers below, ask the six questions under "Questions to ask on the first call," and get any fee in writing before you sign. The best Singapore PR agency for you is the one whose agreed work addresses the gaps in your application. A first application with complete documents may need a final review. A family application with overseas records may need sustained preparation. Someone deciding between an appeal and a fresh application needs a review of what has changed, before buying a package. Applying directly to ICA is also an option. ICA lists eligibility categories, documents, government fees and the online application process. Consultancy support is optional, and ICA makes the decision. Use the [official ICA PR guidance](https://www.ica.gov.sg/reside/PR/apply) as your starting point. ## Five providers to compare The order is alphabetical; it does not represent a ranking of approval prospects. Provider Publicly described support What to clarify before engaging [E&H Immigration Consultancy](https://www.eh-immigration.com/services/singapore-pr) Profile assessment, document preparation and review, written submissions, and follow-up support Applicant count, review rounds, exclusions, GST, translations, and whether an appeal or reapplication is included [Epica Immigration](https://www.epicaimmigration.com.sg/) PR and citizenship advisory, document/form checks, cover letters and profile review; its site also links to separate pricing pages Whether you need a full package, document review or a pre-filing check; scope and conditions for repeat filing [First Immigrations](https://immigrations.com.sg/) Route review, document readiness, application preparation and agreed follow-up support The named consultant, specific deliverables and professional fee for your applicant category [One Visa](https://www.one-visa.com/) PR strategy alongside work-pass and company setup services Whether your quotation covers PR preparation alone or wider business and work-pass advice [Transform Borders](https://transformborders.com/) Immigration consultancy covering EP, PR and citizenship Who handles your case, preparation timetable, document-review process and follow-up responsibilities The service descriptions above are a starting point for comparison, not a verified ranking. E&H has not audited competitors’ case records, and buying a particular package is not shown to raise approval odds. For related guidance, see [Singapore PR Application Consultancy](https://eh-immigration.com/services/singapore-pr). ## Compare fees on the same scope E&H’s [published PR fee page](https://www.eh-immigration.com/singapore-pr-application-agency-fees) lists professional fees of S$2,000+ to S$4,000+ for a single applicant and S$2,500+ to S$5,000+ for a family. The exact quote is fixed after assessment. These are E&H prices, not a market-wide average. Government and third-party charges are separate. Confirm the final scope and any applicable GST before signing. For any provider, ask for a written quote. It should state the number of applicants, what documents will be reviewed, who writes any supporting statement, how many revisions are included, and what happens if ICA requests more information. Ask whether translations, notarisation, medical examinations, appeals and future applications cost extra. A lower headline price may cover less work; a higher price is not evidence of better approval prospects. ICA currently lists a S$100 application fee, with further fees at completion of formalities after approval. Check the [current official fee schedule](https://www.ica.gov.sg/reside/PR/apply) rather than assuming an agency quote includes government charges. ## Look for evidence you can inspect Read recent reviews about responsiveness, document accuracy and whether the consultant explained difficult decisions. Read critical reviews as well as positive ones. A rating describes customer experience; it does not measure the agency’s approval rate. Compare review dates and the actual service used, rather than comparing star averages alone. If an agency quotes a success rate, ask for the period, denominator, case selection and treatment of withdrawn or pending applications. Ask whether the figure counts people, applications or families. Without comparable definitions, two percentages cannot reliably rank providers. A testimonial or approval letter also does not show what would have happened without paid help. For related guidance, see [Client Reviews](https://eh-immigration.com/reviews). ## Preparation time and ICA time are different Ask the agency when it can begin, what you must supply, how long its review takes, and who answers follow-up questions. ICA states that complete PR applications are processed within six months, although some take longer. An agency’s preparation deadline does not change that official processing period. [Source: ICA processing guidance](https://www.ica.gov.sg/reside/PR/apply). ## Questions to ask on the first call - What is missing or inconsistent in my documents, and what can realistically be improved before submission? - Who will handle my application and write or review the supporting materials? - What exactly is included in the written fee, and what could trigger an additional charge? - Who submits, reviews and declares the application through ICA’s e-Service? - What support is included for further information requests, rejection, an appeal or a new application? - How will my personal documents be stored, shared and returned or deleted? A useful assessment should explain its reasoning and acknowledge uncertainty. If your records are already consistent and you are comfortable following the checklist, self-filing remains a reasonable option. If your circumstances are complex or you need someone to coordinate the preparation, compare the proposed work and the person responsible for it. ## Put the national statistics in context Annual PR grants measure how many people obtained PR, not the proportion of applicants accepted. Historical profile data describes grantees as a group; it does not predict an individual applicant’s result. If you would like E&H to assess the preparation your case needs, [book a consultation](https://www.eh-immigration.com/contact). Ask us the same questions you would ask any other provider. ## Frequently asked questions Does a higher agency fee mean a better chance of approval? No. A higher price can reflect more review rounds or a fuller scope of work, but no published data ties price to ICA’s decision. Ask what the fee specifically buys before assuming it changes your odds. Can I apply for Singapore PR without using an agency? Yes. ICA accepts applications directly from applicants through its own e-Service, and publishes the eligibility categories, required documents and fees. An agency is optional support, not a requirement. Why do agencies describe their services instead of each publishing a success rate? Success rates depend on the period measured, the applicant pool and whether withdrawn or pending cases are counted. Because providers rarely publish the same definition, a stated rate is hard to compare across agencies — which is why this article compares scope of work instead. Does this comparison rank the five agencies by quality? No. The table lists the five providers in alphabetical order. It summarises what each publicly describes doing, not an independent test of their work or a ranking of approval prospects. # Citations [1] [Canonical article page](https://www.eh-immigration.com/articles/singapore-pr-agencies-compared-fees-support-and-process)
