    Dear Amit,

    Me and my fiancée, Vibhor, are planning to apply for Landed PR, since we are highly educated (Bachelor and MBA) in marketing and we both have international working experience with multilingual skills. Can you please advice if it is hard to get a job in marketing in Singapore and what are our chances to be accepted for LPR?

    Many thanks in advance,

    Sabina

      Hi Sabina,

      It is really hard to answer such questions :) ……..There are too many variables to consider and each situation is different.

      However, in general, if you have a good/advanced background then the job search is relatively easier.

      From what I am seeing, it is much harder to get a PR now (even for people who are well qualified and have lived in Singapore for a while), so I would say that your chances are lower if you are applying right away.

      Keep in mind, that these are generalisations and what happens in your case might be different…
