New year, new resolution! It is a brand-new year again and this is probably the best time we start thinking what do we want to achieve during the year, to align with our long-term life goals.
Personally, I think it is of utmost importance to step out of the comfort zone and take the courage to make important decisions that can improve our entire life. For me, I have been considering moving out of my home country and live abroad permanently. And Singapore tops my list of consideration, just like many other Malaysians who wish to start a new life outside Malaysia. I guess the reason why Singapore has always been one of the most popular choices among Malaysians is mainly because of the strength of currency and proximity from homeland. And it is of no exception for me too.
How to Start
Having said that, I have no idea where to start until I stumble upon Paul Immigrations website which rings a bell in my head on the need of getting a permanent residency in Singapore in future and being another step closer towards obtaining Singapore citizenship.

Paul Immigrations Reviews: What They Do
Paul Immigrations is a local specialist when it comes to the application of Singapore PR. Being one of the most renowned immigration consultancy firms in Singapore, the firm has a proven track record of more than 15,000 satisfied customers, and it has been maintaining a high success rate of approved applications over the years.
Well, some of you must be wondering, “Why do I need to appoint a consultant when I can do the application submission myself via the online portal of Immigration & Checkpoints Authority of Singapore (ICA)?”
Yes, you are partially correct – The application can be done by ourselves, but the process can be quite complicated and tedious especially for those who are not familiar with the requirements, system and documentation etc. Hence, a dedicated specialist who is fully-equipped with comprehensive knowledge and expertise of the application process would be of great help.
As I continue to research on this firm, I realise the services provided by the team go beyond the usual assistance with aspects of the application process that can be done on our own. The most value-adding part of their services is the practical advice and assistance in terms of handling and processing all essential documents with an ultimate objective of increasing the chances of approval by the authority.
Paul Immigrations Reviews: Strengths of Services
Step-by-step guidance throughout the entire process
❤ Don’t worry about the long list of documents required which can make the whole process tiresome. Based on several online reviews, the specialist team will work closely with us throughout the entire PR application process. Along the way, they will share expert tips so that we will not miss out any important documentation or furnish inaccurate information. No more risking the submission of an invalid application!
Preparing personalized cover letters
❤ For instance, they have a team of professional writers to assist with drafting a unique, personalised cover letter for each applicant to clearly demonstrate the individual’s strengths and accomplishments although it is not mandatory to submit a cover letter based on the list of documents required. Sounds good, right? No more hassle of cracking the head to write a cover letter ourselves!
Preparing additional essential documents
❤ I like the idea of them going great lengths to meet their customers’ needs. They always put customers' needs as their priority and pay great attention to details on the customers' background, education level, work experience etc. As they are aware that additional supporting documents that display your best qualities and contributions would be helpful for the application, they are able to help with preparation of such documents too.
Fast and accurate submission
❤ After having to go through the whole process of collating relevant documents, here comes the crucial part of the process: Online submission. As much as we are tempted to submit the list of documents requested by the ICA via the e-Service portal, it is highly not advisable. Let the professional helps to navigate through the system seamlessly and make our submission process an efficient and accurate one.
Managing the Uncertainty
For those who are unsure of whether to consider Singapore as their second home or which PR scheme to choose from (because there are 3 types in total: Professionals, Technical Personnel and Skilled Workers (PTS) Scheme, Global Investor Programme (GIP) and the Foreign Artistic Talent (ForArts) Scheme), it is also helpful to seek professional advice from Paul Immigrations as the first step.
Instead of spending tonnes of time doing researches online, it is definitely easier to contact the team to understand what to expect during a PR application and perhaps overcome the emotional barriers towards permanent residence.
What’s Next
Well, just sit back, relax and wait. A standard PR application should take approximately 4 – 6 months to be fully processed. However, some submissions may take longer, depending on the type of application and validity of the submitted documents. Don't panic, just wait for the good news to come!
