Spouse application for PR will depend a lot on the calibre of the Singaporean husband. On the part of the Vietnamese wife, checks on whether she has been blacklisted in Singapore and the statement provided by both Viet wife and Singaporean husband on where and how they met. The main consideration will be on singaporean husband's educational level, stability of occupation, income stability etc. Forget about how many children the Viet spouse has given birth if the singaporean husband is considered unstable in career and income by ICA. There are so many viet spouse with children whose's PR application are rejected.

just to add on,some few cases is base on the wife calibre.one of my friend marry a indonesia chinese girl.they know through marriage agency.my friend is not highly educated,he did not study and not even hold a PSLE cert and sometime do odd job.his income is 1.8k when he apply for wife PR.First time he apply for her and she get it.

We guess is mainly because of her been highly educated and work in a bank at indonesia.And she apply sg citzenship and got it on the second year after getting her PR.

But cases like this is very rare and that time she so easy to get PR and citizenship is 4 years ago when sg govertment open their so call foreign talent gate to let all soft of people come in and get PR and also produce more baby.What a joke,birth rate did not go up and make our train and buses more cramp

nowadays is either the husband must be highly educated and hold a stable job or the foreign spouse but dont think a lot in sg whereby foreign spouse is highly educated

Foreign wives married to Singaporean men, are granted both fast PR status and SG citizenship if they have skills that the Singapore Government look for and high educational level. Skills like IT professionals. This is what I heard.

if the vietnamese spouse is highly educated, then she can apply for PR or citizenship based on her own merits. But if she doesn't, she will have to depend on her singapore husband's merits for application.

I've lived in VN for 4 years. I learned alot of things. Once there was a fire in a commercial building in Saigon. Close to 100 people died. They reported only 8 and the whole place was covered with tarpulin the next day. CNN decided to report 11 fatalities.

[COLOR="Red"]Corruption is tolerated, but the people remains proud. Traffic is terrible, but people see it as progress. The Vietnamese are a proud people. We must not take that away from them. It is what my own people lack. Noticed when you see VN people in chaos over something, but suddenly everything is resolved after a few minutes?[/COLOR] We should learn from them.

I once lived in a room on the 2nd floor. There was this stabbing incident down stairs. Someone called the police who arrived 30 minutes later. The police demanded 1,000,000 dong (yr 2002 rate) from each store surrounding the place and left without catching the criminals. Now you know why traffic accidents are resolved without the police. They'd impound your motorbikes and would be given back to you for 200$US.

They lack universities. So, they make exams for school children tough enough to limit the number of college enrollees. Very simple solution. Unlike in my country where education is a constant source of problem for lack of school buildings.

Every business institution in VN pays a monthly retainer for people in authority (the fire department, the education department, the police, the city administrator, etc...). But they do not complain. It is their system.


Just saw this at one of the forum by a foreigner teacher who work there before and would like to share,quite agree on this sentence in red

Posted: Sat Jul 02, 2011 10:54 am Post subject: This could be reason why uneducated singaporean married a

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Overheard two uneducated bachelors talking.


This could be reason why uneducated single singaporean take a foreign wife.

Some male singaporean, single and stayed with their parent hired maid to look after their aged parent while he has to work 7 days a week to earn enough $$ to pay for maid salary and levy.

Now with the proposal to allow maid to have one off day a week, these uneducated single male singaporean may let go their maid and marry a vietnam wife to look after their parent and do house work, in addition, he can get free paik piak every night.

Let me do some costing to justify what I said.

Married vietnam wife cost : $10,000 and stay with him forever, can paik piak every night and save on taxi fare and prostitute expenses every month.

Hire maid cost $510 x 24 (2 yrs contract) =$12,240 + insurance+bond+agency fee+ some uncertainty will the maid steal or runaway.

His breakeven is hire maid for 20 months and thereafter net profit all the way.

He try not to have kid so incur less expenses in future. Once their parent passed away, he sold his hdb flat and moved to vietnam for retirement because cost of living there very cheap.

So I foresee the foreign bride agency business will bloom and massive import of foreign wife in near future.

Hope mom will not impose coe or levy on foreign wife like what we did to the car or maid here respectively.
