Hi there,
I was going through the forum and I must say it is very helpful. I look and look but cannot find one thing, Procedures for application for PR (If there is, I am sorry, I must be blind).
a) How long must my wife be in Singapore in order to apply? b) What are the documentations needed? c) Any other things to watch out?
I heard from a friend that immediately after getting the Marriage Cert, i can go to ICA and apply for PR already. Can anyone please confirm this?
If I have left out anything, please advice as well.
Khob Khun Mak Krup.

hi KhunKoh, Welcome to the club and congratulations getting married soon. All information on applying for PR is here => app.ica.gov.sg/serv_pr/per_res/app_for_pr.aspAs long you are legally married you can apply for PR and your wife does not really need to be in Spore at time of application but will be called upon for interviews when ICA is reviewing your application. Nothing to watch out if there is no bad history of you or your wife. ALL Documentations will need to be translated and endorsed by the Thai Embassy here, charges apply. cheers.

Hi Snake,
Thanks for the information here. So after i get ROM in December, I can immediately seek for PR status for my wife. That would be great.
Thanks again
Khun Koh

Hi,
I have another problem. I called Supreme Court today and they say they only do translation for the 3 major languages in Singapore. Where do i go for Translation and whether it is legalised or acceptable by ICA? I got a list of translator from Thai Embassy but does not seem good. Do I also need a lawyer to chop and sign? Can someone please help me on this.
Thanks.

Translation any advertised ones can do but you need Thai Embassy here to authenticate and endorse that the translated documents are correct can liao.

after u translate ur papers. if u want thai emb. to verify n chop pls go in the morning n submit. cos afternoon is for collection.
i hope there no changes on the timing for the paper submission in the thai emb.
usually it take 1 to 3 days to get it done. once done need to go lawyer to chop it or is it chop liao go emb.
lol sorry i forget which one first but dont worry when u do the translation u can ask ur translator. he or she should know.
Cheers

wow..married a foreign wife is not easy..so many paper work and document. Sooner or later will break down.
better think twice .....have a friend whose wife is a thai with degree and she got the PR within months stay happily here without problem and she is not a WL therefore reduce alot of problems....that the different for married a thai WL and a non Thai WL.

The rest is his path to go thru. nobody can determine what the future going to be including himself. Being having a relationship outside our country is a problem by itself already. after ur love one comes here is another set of problem be it she has a degree or have none at all. she need the care and also needs u be around with her cos she all alone here. i have many friends who marry WL n non WL girls result is diff. so we cannot decide or think that it will be a problem marrying a WL. just trying to be netural about this.

well mate i have to said to each his own. u dont choose it all about feeling. if u feel right with this person then u go with the person.
are we saying that we choose a educated person to be our love one n thing will sure to work out? i dont think so.
marriage is a gamble that all i can said. it all voice down to both of them whether they can make it or not.
of course i dont deny the fact, this girls may have a problems bcos of their thinking. it the risk the guy who wants to take the risk.
we cannot said all is bad just ur luck if u choose the bad ones. the only thing u can said is just ur luck to get someone who is bad.
couples together it not just about education or whatever is the thinking of the person..... he or she could be highly educated, very rich but dont know how to think. it still going to be the same.
as i said let the person decide what they want. his question is not asking about should i marry a WL. so we save those words to someone else who wants to ask about this.
moreover he did not say his girl is a WL or non-WL so is better we dont presume it is. it wont be nice.
I know where you coming from bud. trust me bro dont need to said more on this im sure most of them know how WL relationship is. unless someone asking then we advice them.
im not against on this kind relationship, it all up to the person. cos we can advice but he will still decide.
Cheers

Dun think need lawyer to chop after u have gone to Thai Embassy as they will authenticate that the translation is true and correct.
