Some asked why the family is seeking Singapore citizenship since they are already permanent residents.

SINGAPORE: A foreign family living and working in Singapore have received mixed responses after they sought information online on how they can achieve Singapore citizenship.

The 33-year-old father of the family, who will be the main applicant, has been in Singapore since 2008 and has been a permanent resident for the past 10 years, since 2014. He apparently works in the financial technology sector and earns a generous pay package including a base salary of $300,000, a bonus of $170,000, along with equity in his company.

The couple revealed that they are seeking feedback as to their chances of acquiring citizenship as the husband unsuccessfully applied for citizenship twice before, before he got married in 2019. The most upvoted comment on the Reddit thread the couple posted in says, “not sure whether you come here to flex the income, damn”.Some offered more practical advice. One commenter suggested, “Should be fine especially since you are contributing a son to NS, and your wife is still in childbearing age…I’d be very surprised if you don’t get it.”
