Impacts of General Election 2020 on Singapore Immigration
We have come to the time again for Singapore to vote for a new government. Dubbed the ‘Pandemic Elections’, for the first time ever, the Singapore General Elections will be held amidst a global setback as Singapore looks to a progressive government that can ride us all out of this storm, together. What are the impacts of General Election 2020 can we expect?
Naturally, this is a time we face increased inquiries from foreign talent in Singapore with regards to their chances to apply for Singapore Permanent Residence and/or Citizenship:
- Will the Singapore Government be tightening immigration policies after the election?
- Is it a good time to submit an application at this time?
- When is a good time to submit applications? Now or Later?
- What is the impact of Covid-19 on the upcoming Elections?
As Immigration Consultants, it is important to keep ourselves abreast with the latest immigration policy updates that answers these genuine concerns. Having maintained strong and healthy relations with the various ministry counterparts, we are also able to access and analyse information that directly impacts Foreign Talent and their long-term plans in Singapore.
