Can a child born out of wedlock to a Singapore citizen apply for PR or naturalization?

*Yes**, children born out of wedlock of Singapore citizens can apply for PR or naturalization. However, the vetting process for children born out of wedlock to apply for Singapore PR or naturalisation may be more stringent than for newborns born out of wedlock.

For children born out of wedlock, they will need to submit a birth certificate and DNA test results to prove their consanguinity. In addition, they will also need to submit some other documents such as passports, visas, financial proofs, etc., to prove their residency conditions and financial situation in Singapore.

If there is a dispute or uncertainty among the parents of a child born out of wedlock, such as if one of the parents is a Chinese national, then they need to submit more documents to prove their kinship and residency in Singapore. These documents may include birth certificates, DNA test results, passports, visas, proof of finances, etc.

In conclusion, children born out of wedlock of Singapore citizens can apply for PR or naturalization, but more documents need to be submitted to prove their kinship and residency conditions in Singapore. If there is a dispute or uncertain situation, you need to consult the relevant immigration lawyer for more details.

In your case, the so-called illegitimate child is an illegitimate child in the popular sense. Their legal status and rights are very different from those of legitimate children.

The term "legitimate child" can be defined as follows.

1。The biological parents are legally united in accordance with the law at the time of the birth of the child.

2。The birth parents had sex before marriage and conceived the child, but the marriage was lawfully married during the conception.

3。The birth parents have sex before marriage to conceive a child, but when the child is born after the birth of the child is legally married.

Due to its own national conditions, China has its own strict regulations on the nationality of illegitimate children, involving the background of the parents.

The Immigration and Checkpoints Department of Singapore reiterates that foreign students can apply for PR

In recent days, Singapore PR applications have been simplified, and international students can get an employment pass or first without an invitation from the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority's'In the case of a pass, you can apply online to become a Singapore permanent resident.

The Immigration & Checkpoints Authority of Singapore reiterated this view and said that the long-standing plan to allow foreign students to apply for permanent residency had been discussed in Parliament as early as 13 April 2015.

Based on the criteria, we will further understand whether the applicant can contribute to Singapore and whether he or she can integrate into the local community.

According to Singapore's latest plan, it is reasonable for the immigration policy to be relaxed slowly. According to **, Singapore's population will increase to 5.8 million to 6 million people by 2020. By 2030, it will increase to 6.5 million-6.9 million.

In the future, about 10,000 new immigrants will be brought in every year. An important reason for the large number of immigrants is to alleviate the trend of aging in the country and weaken its impact on the economy.

In response, Singapore** said that the number of permanent residents will reach 30,000 per year.

Although international students can apply directly for immigration through established conditions, the competition will escalate due to the large number of applicants who will submit naturalization applications after the introduction of this policy.

Therefore, in order to improve competitiveness, it is still necessary to increase the gold content of your application materials, and for ordinary international students, you can refer to traditional employment immigration (one of the three major immigration application routes).

Singapore Employment Immigration (EP).

Employment immigration, one of the three major immigration pathways, mainly through the application for an employment pass, to achieve the immigration goal. The Singapore Employment Pass (EP) has a very high level and can be further applied for permanent residency in Singapore after it is approved.

The other two major pathways are the Singapore Entrepreneur Pass (EntrePass) and the Singapore S$2.5 million GIP Immigration Path.

Advantages of employment-based immigration.

Young applicants should have a diploma from a prestigious institution.

Definition of Self-Employment Pass (EP).

If you hold shares in a company and apply for an Employment Pass (EP) as a shareholder of the company, it is defined as a self-employed employment pass, and the applicant is the owner of the company;

If you do not hold the status of a shareholder and only apply as a director or employee of the company, you will be an ordinary Employment Pass (EP) and the applicant is an employee of the company.
