# Is it getting harder to get Singapore PR in 2026?

Last updated: 2026-08-12

- With roughly 33,000–35,000 PRs granted annually against a growing applicant pool, E&H emphasizes that strategic case-building—highlighting your unique "rootedness" in Singapore—is now more critical than simple form-filling.
