Is it more difficult to get Singapore PR nowadays?
- Yes. ICA evaluates applicants on skills, economic contribution, integration, and long-term suitability. The bar has risen over the years.
- Singapore grants roughly 33,000–35,000 new PRs annually with no fixed quota — meaning approval is merit-based and a well-prepared application matters more than ever.
