Singaporean marrying a foreigner.

Marriage to a Singapore Citizen does not automatically qualify a foreigner for long term stay, permanent residence (PR) or citizenship in Singapore. Foreign spouses of SCs may apply for long term stay, PR or citizenship for ICA’s consideration.

All applications are assessed based on the prevailing guidelines enacted by the Government of Singapore that include considerations such as whether the sponsor is able to support his/her dependant’s stay here and whether the marriage is genuine.

All applications will be considered on its own merits and subject to approval by ICA.
