We have observed an ongoing trend amongst our clients emphasising Safety as a reason to pursue Permanent Residence or Citizenship in Singapore. In fact, 80% of the expats we have helped secure Singapore PR/Citizenship status ranked Safety and Security as one of the top 3 reasons for their application. The other two reasons listed were Education as well as Employment opportunities.
