申请PR需要哪些文件？
申请PR需要哪些文件？

ICA给你发的那封信上有具体的要求

"菜根"的经验：
我带了以下东西：ica给你发的那封信，包括那封上面有你名字的计算机打出来的信。那两个form填好之后最好都复印两份，他会要复印件。（如果没有复印好，他会当场让你去复印，就在ica就有）。
还有你公司给你的offer letter, 最好复印两份。
护照（复印两份那个有照片的地方） + 学生证（正反两面都要复印 2份）
成绩单，现在成绩出来了，去RO打印就行了。（复印2份）

上面所有的复印件其实都可以在ica复印，就是到时候你就办的忙一些，不过他们会停下来等你拿文件复印好。

我个人没有用到其它的文件。但是上面我所列的文件绝对是一个也不能少的。

travel document 是指护照吧。
identity card 是指 student pass 吧
Birth Certificates 当时他们也和我要了，但是我说我从中国来的，没有出生证明，他们也没说什么。

然后交了所有的文件和复印件，他会让你等，20分钟左右，他们会在你护照上面盖上一个 temp 的 EP ,三个月，这样你就可以工作了。然后等PR下来。

PR申请交了之后多久知道结果？
PR申请交了之后多久知道结果？

这个说法不一，官方的说法是3个月，不过具体来说是case by case的，有人少过4个礼拜拿到，有人40几天，也有人9个星期
"JYH"的看法：case by case，如果你有不错的学位，从比较牛的学校毕业，或者在知名大公司供职，officer大概不用看第二眼就批准了。当然经济景气程度也有影响，我申请的时候整体经济和就业很差，大批外国人出走，申请起来就相对容易。

出生证明哪里办？
出生证明哪里办？

据我所知，正规的出生证明是医院办理的，但是国内很多地方都可以办类似的文件，比如可以去公安局、派出所或者去你家里所在地的市、区或县的公证处办理。只要带上户口簿，办一个英文的出生公证就可以，包括你的出生地，出生日期，以及父母姓名。

出生证明格式(公证处有他们自己的格式)

出生公证书

兹证明ABC,性别,于xxxx年xx月xx日在xxxx地方出生. ABC的父亲是CDE,ABC的母亲是FGH.

中华人民共和国….公证处

公证员:

年 月 日
(此处加盖公章)


April 8, 2002(此处为日期,英文格式,公证处人员应该知道怎么填写)

NOTARIAL CERTIFICATE OF BIRTH

(英文档案号)AFC No:
This is to certificate that ABC, m/f, was born on ….at .... His father’s name is …, and his mother’s name is….

Notary:

The People’s Republic of China

翻译与公证在哪边办理？
到哪边把证件和文件(比如出生证明)等翻译成英文或者公证？

国内的话可以在公证处办理(收费大概200人民币，各地不同)
新加坡可以到supreme court，更多详情请参见http://app.supremecourt.gov.sg/ Service->Translation Service

更详细的说法

所有申请人都要提供正本和复印件 of

1, 申请表 (one copy for all applicants usually is enough)

2, 护照

3, EP （if you are EP holder) or WP/SP etc.

4, 毕业证，学位证，成绩单 （正本和翻译件）（if any)

5，出生公证 （if you do not have birth certificate, and that's the usual case) or birth certificate

6, 结婚证 ( if applies: couple apply PR at the same time)

7, 父母关系公证， （if applies: apply PR for parents)

8, tax invoice (IR8A)

9，移民局的邀请信 （if you have, it is much easier, if do not have, it is still fine)

其他一些重要的注意事项
ICA Operating Hours

Weekdays 8.00 am to 5.00 pm
Saturdays 8.00 am to 1.00 pm

注意：PR批准之前必须留在同一个公司，如果换公司的话需要重新申请，这个在说明上是白纸黑字写明白的。在PR申请批准之后，还需要employer签一份文件证明你还在原来的公司工作，这样才能拿到PR.

大猩猩的重要补充：

1）父母和兄弟姐妹的CV，最好交一个。免得补交。
大概的内容，包括年龄，住址，联系方式。
还有就是简要的工作经历，（所在单位名称.)
这个CV是自己用word做一个就可以了。
不必要公证，当然要英文的。

2）体检，如果你现在持EP，则不需要体检。
但是，你可能需要到MOM拿一个证明。
（原因：MOM有时候没有及时把你申请EP的纪录传给ICA.）
如果，你是直接申请PR，则必须体检。

3）排队：
如果你要上班，又不想拿假期去办理。
最好早上起床早一些。
如果你能7:10之前到达，一般能排到前面几个。
你总共要去3次，

第一次，交表。很快，一般10分钟。
（可能补交文件）
第二次，接受offer,去ICA按指纹，这个时间比较长。
可能要7点到，9点半才可以走。
第三次，取IC,很快，10分钟。

另外，要提醒的是，“第二次”回来以后，要立即通知公司HR,
为你交CPF;要是不及时，据说要罚款。当然一两天没问题。

Reminder from "SOS":

For those PR applicants, if you are required to submitted extra documents, pls keep one copy of the document and the receipt (Queue number).

请问现在的5年蓝色PR IC，什么时候能换成10年粉色？

"梅花宝剑"的回答：蓝色IC和粉色IC都是永久的，不需要更新。如果你是SPR，那么要更新的是你的RE-ENTRY PERMIT，因为只有这个PERMIT是有期限的。换句话说，如果没有更新你的RE-ENTRY PERMIT(俗称的PR STATUS)，那么你并不会失去你的永久居民的身份，因为新加坡永久居民的身份是永久的而非5年，你失去的只是不可以自由进出新加坡了(如果你选择一直呆在新加坡国内或者一直呆在新加坡国外，那么你完全可以不用更新任何东西)

粉色IC是新加坡公民才可以持有的，如果你的PR已经有2-6年的历史，那么你可以亲自去ICA的六楼填写有关表格，并在递交表格的同时，得到官员的现场评估。如果现场评估通过，那么你会被要求递交有关文件和材料，并宣誓文件的真实性。然后，你必须等待2到6个月，等待最终评估结果。如果你通过了最后的阶段，那么会收到书面批准信件，并会被要求在指定时间内去你的原国之大使馆取消旧的护照和国籍，并从原大使馆取得有关国籍取消的文件。然后，你会在另一个指定的时间到ICA六楼领取新护照并宣誓。但你的粉色IC和公民证明文件将会在以后的数个月内的有关仪式上，由部长或者议员亲自颁发给你。在此期间，你会得到一份临时的文件即临时IC。
