Background:

My husband and I are Indonesians, who have gotten married in SG in Apr 2023.

He has lived here since Jan 2018, applied for PR as holder of EP in Jun 2022, and gotten approval in May 2023.
I lived in SG from 2010-2015 as a student, came back for work in Feb 2021, applied for PR as holder of EP in Mar 2022, rejected in Aug 2022, appealed in Oct 2022, rejected again in Feb 2023.

I am planning to try applying for PR again by end of 2023.

Just wondering, which route will be more beneficial for me: apply as a spouse of PR or as a holder of EP?

Thanks for your input in advance!

There is no need to decide whether to "apply as a spouse of PR or as a holder of EP" - ICA will take into consideration all aspects of your personal situation in any case!

No difference but definitely mention you're a spouse of a PR in your personal cover letter. My application took 9 months... got it in my first try and was pretty straightforward. Proving integration is the most important thing.

Essential docs to include:Cover letter - my background, why Singapore and how I can contribute and integrate to society2 letters of recommendation from Singapore citizens - how we know each other, why I'll be good for the countryResume - my professional qualifications and academic background
