The way an immigration consultant called getting Singapore PR a 'life hack' also didn't sit well with Singaporeans online.

SINGAPORE: A company that claims it can help foreigners obtain Singapore Permanent Residency in just six months has sparked online backlash, with critics calling its advertisement misleading and almost “scammy.”

Criticism poured in after a video promoting Singapore Permanent Residency described it as a “life hack.” The video stated that PR holders can buy resale HDB flats, live and work without needing an Employment Pass , and eventually apply for citizenship to enjoy the same rights as native Singaporeans.

The speaker concluded by urging viewers to apply for PR, claiming that using a consultancy could secure their PR status in six months, removing all the hassle from the process. Many Singaporeans online swiftly condemned the claims, arguing they were misleading and potentially a scam. Critics expressed doubts about the feasibility of obtaining PR status in such a short time frame without significant contributions to Singapore.You have to be ultra naive to believe that a firm that is trying to advertise its services is going to be fully truthful and representative. Good luck getting PR in six months if you have not made significant contributions.

He said, “These are 100% scummy and they often use hard sale tactics to lock you in paying high fees to just fill in and QA the same template you submit to ICA.
