Results & Benefits

Before:

No Retire Pension

Before obtaining Permanent Residency (PR) in Singapore, Tina faced the challenge of not having access to the Central Provident Fund (CPF) system, which is a crucial pillar of Singapore's retirement planning. Without CPF contributions from her employer and herself, Tina was concerned about her long-term financial security and her ability to sustain a comfortable retirement.

Limited Option for Housing

As a non-PR, Shi Min was ineligible to purchase public housing in Singapore. This limited her housing options to the private rental market, which often came with higher costs and less stability compared to owning a public Housing and Development Board (HDB) flat. This lack of affordable housing options posed a significant obstacle to her long-term financial planning.

Uncertain Employment Tenure

As a non-PR, Shi Min was ineligible to purchase public housing in Singapore. This limited her housing options to the private rental market, which often came with higher costs and less stability compared to owning a public Housing and Development Board (HDB) flat. This lack of affordable housing options posed a significant obstacle to her long-term financial planning.

After:

Additional Up to 17% into Her Monthly Salary

Upon obtaining PR status, Shi Min saw a significant improvement in her financial situation. She now enjoys CPF contributions from her employer and herself, resulting in an additional 17% of her monthly salary being set aside for her retirement. This not only provides her with a secure financial future but also ensures that she can enjoy her retirement years without financial worries.

Access to Public Housing

With her PR status, Shi Min became eligible to purchase a public Housing and Development Board (HDB) flat at subsidized rates. This has allowed her to invest in a stable and affordable housing option, providing her with a sense of security and stability in her living arrangements. Owning an HDB flat also offers her the opportunity to build equity over time.

Enhanced Employment Opportunities

Shi Min's PR status has granted her a newfound sense of job flexibility and independence in Singapore's competitive job market. As a PR, she no longer needs to rely on her employer to renew her work pass (e-pass) periodically. This freedom from the work pass renewal process means that Shi Min has the autonomy to explore various employment opportunities and make career choices that align with her long-term goals.
