Singapore PR Eligibility Calculator

An unofficial estimate based on publicly known assessment factors, updated July 2026. We do not store your data — your inputs are processed locally on your device.

Applicants aged 21-40 are generally most favourable

Most successful applicants earn S$6,000-S$10,000+. EP minimum salary from Jan 2026: S$5,600 (rising to S$6,000 for new applications from 1 Jan 2027).

~80% of approved applicants hold a graduate or postgraduate qualification

Sectors aligned with Singapore's national priorities (Tech, Healthcare, Finance) are viewed more favourably

EP holders are the primary applicant pool under the PTS scheme

Malaysia, China, and India are the top source countries for Singapore PRs

ICA recommends at least 2 years of residency. Most successful applicants apply after 2-3 years.

Family ties to SC/PR strongly impact your application, especially with Singapore's low fertility rate (0.97 TFR)

ICA assesses your ability to "integrate well" and "sink roots" in Singapore

Enrolling children in local schools is a strong signal of long-term settlement commitment
