Results & Benefits

No Retire Pension
Before obtaining Permanent Residency (PR) in Singapore, James faced the challenge of not having access to the Central Provident Fund (CPF) system, a key component of Singapore's retirement planning. Without CPF contributions from both his employer and himself, he was worried about his long-term financial stability and securing a comfortable retirement.

Before obtaining PR, James faced the challenge of purchasing a home in Singapore, as he was required to pay a hefty 60% Additional Buyer's Stamp Duty (ABSD) on public housing, making homeownership financially challenging.
