Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1.
What are the assessment criteria?
Each application is considered on its own merits. However, the main requirements are:
 you are a permanent resident of Singapore; and
 you make an adequate economic contribution to Singapore.
In assessing your economic contribution, the main factors considered are:
 your academic, professional and/or technical qualifications;
 your expertise and working experience needed by Singapore; and
 your investments in the type of industry or service sector needed in Singapore.
2.
My spouse, a foreigner, owns a restricted residential property. Can I still apply to buy
another restricted residential property?
No.
3.
How long does it take to process an application?
The processing time is generally within 20 working days after the date we receive all the

I have not decided on a specific property to purchase. Can I still apply?
Yes, you can apply for approval-in-principle. If you are granted approval-in-principle, you have

of approval. Otherwise, the approval will lapse. Thereafter, should you wish to purchase a
restricted residential property, you need to make a fresh application and pay the full application

I have been granted approval in the past. Does that mean my current application will
definitely be successful?
No, because your current application will be assessed based on the prevailing circumstances
and guidelines.

Is there any restriction on the type of restricted residential property I can acquire?
The land area of the property must not exceed 1,393.5 square metres or 15,000 square feet
