For most investment immigrants, obtaining permanent residency in Singapore is not their ultimate goal. Many people want to acquire Singapore citizenship. Then some people will have such a question: What is the difference between Singapore PR and citizens? The following Yongxin immigration experts will look at the difference between Singapore PR and citizens from the perspective of social welfare. There is a big difference between public relations and citizen welfare. Before the reduction of PR benefits, the main differences are as follows: 1. Buy an apartment. According to the regulations, PR can't buy a first-hand property directly from the Housing and Construction Bureau, and can't enjoy any government housing subsidies. Singapore implements the policy of home ownership and takes care of the housing needs of its citizens in every possible way. Under normal circumstances, buying a four-bedroom apartment directly from the Housing Authority only costs more than S $ 10 million. It would be cheaper if you could get the allowance. PR, on the other hand, can't enjoy such preferential treatment at all. They can only buy apartments on the open market, and the resale price of the same four-bedroom apartment is at least 200,000 yuan. Because you can only buy second-hand houses, many PR buy older units. For the same project, citizens only need to pay a few thousand yuan (enjoy more than 80% government subsidies), while PR has to pay tens of thousands of yuan. In fact, this policy difference in buying a house is still the biggest welfare difference between PR and citizens. A few years ago, in order to adjust the economic structure, Singapore raised the consumption tax. The government allocates a budget every year to give Singaporean citizens a certain rebate for utilities and miscellaneous fees to offset the increase in tax revenue. However, PR who also pays taxes cannot enjoy such benefits. 3. Singapore's stock and economic growth dividend In the past few years, the Singapore government has repeatedly given red envelopes to Singaporean citizens when the economy is undergoing economic transformation or economic performance is good. This time there is no public relations. 4. Baby Bonus and Tax Refund Singapore In order to encourage Singapore to have children, the government gives Singapore citizens a large number of baby bonuses and tax rebates. As long as you have a child, you can get cash. The more you have, the more you get. Plus the tax refund, it can reach 10 million yuan or more. However, for public relations, the cost of raising a child is the same (even more). Children grow up to be soldiers, but they can't get a penny of baby bonus and tax refund. 5. Children's schooling and further education. When registering primary schools in Singapore, PR children were drawn by citizens. In other words, only when a school's quota is not filled by citizens can it be PR's turn to register. In addition, students in Singapore can have many opportunities to get scholarships, while children in PR are generally not eligible for government scholarships. Even under the latest policy, children of PR have to pay more tuition fees than children of citizens. The above is the difference in welfare treatment between Singapore PR and citizens. Although the continuous reduction of PR benefits in Singapore will affect Singapore's weak disadvantage in attracting immigrants, Singapore is still very attractive in other aspects. Some people say that Singapore has never lacked immigrants. As long as the policy is relaxed, there will still be a large number of immigrants pouring into Singapore. Reference:/
