<P>申请citizen是要成为PR后的2-6年,每个case是不同的。但是,ICA强调,作为PR不论你在新加坡住了多久,都不能因为住的时间就自动成为公民。也就是说,即使,你成为PR20年,如果不符合他们的所谓的条件,也不会批准。据我们问ICA officer的结果,一般来说,香港人,有欧美大学以上学历的,或者从欧美国家聘请来的(包括中国国籍的人士),以上任一PR两年后可以申请公民。其他的,要4年以上。当然,象国家级的运动员等,不具有广泛的代表性的,就不在讨论的范围了。</P>
<P>我们的亲身经验,去移民局,officer先看我先生的IC,他是属于2年的,然后,再看CPF statement,税单,以及那张免NS的纸,然后他就问,2年中有没有离开过新加坡。我们说有,他就拿我先生的passport,一页一页的算时间,我们都是短期出境,就告诉他都是旅行,算下来大概是2个月吧,最后,officer说,好,我算你2年了,因为你是短期的旅行,而且一共才2个月,如果是3个月以上,我就没有办法帮你了。</P>
<P>楼主,工作绝对比公民权重要啊。祝你们好运!!</P>[em10][em10][em10]
