Here is a clear and direct English translation:
⸻
In 2024, the number of Singapore Permanent Resident (PR) approvals hit a ten-year high, surpassing 35,000.
Many in the industry have said, “This is the easiest year in the past decade to apply for PR!”
But few expected things to look even better this year.
Based on the latest good-news updates, in the past six months, out of every 10 applications, 7 were approved, 2 were rejected, and 1 is still pending.
This not only shows that PR applications are now in a “golden window,” but also signals that Singapore is truly short of people.
So, is Singapore quietly relaxing its approval standards? Or is this just a temporary softening?
⸻
1. PR approvals surged — has the “immigration spring” arrived?
Looking back over the past 10 years, Singapore usually approves between 25,000 and 30,000 PRs per year.
But in 2024, the number jumped straight to 35,000.
Together with several policy signals from the Ministry of Manpower (MOM) and the Economic Development Board (EDB) in 2024, it is clear this is not a coincidence.
It reflects Singapore’s deliberate shift toward actively attracting people.
⸻
2. Birth rate hits a record low — Singapore “can’t afford to have kids”?
“0.97 — the lowest fertility rate in Singapore’s history.”
Even the usual boost from “Dragon Year baby” traditions failed to appear.
Young people do not necessarily reject having children, but they cannot afford to have them.
Work pressures, cost of living, and worries about childcare…
Against these realities, Singapore is relying more on immigration to replenish its population and workforce.
⸻
3. New job growth explodes — the government launches a “talent attraction plan”
According to MOM’s 2024 Job Vacancies report, Singapore has 77,500 open positions.
The sectors with the highest shortages include ICT, finance and insurance, and professional services, with more than half of vacancies coming from newly created roles.
The rapid rise of emerging industries has opened doors for overseas professionals:
• EDB launched the Global Founder Program (GFP) to attract founders in fintech, AI, healthcare, advanced manufacturing, and other high-growth sectors.
With job growth and talent shortages, the result is clear:
PR quotas have expanded rapidly, and application thresholds appear lower.
024年，新加坡永久居民（PR）获批人数创下十年新高，突破3.5万人！
不少业内人士直呼：“这是近十年来，PR最容易申请的一年！”
但很多人没想到今年势头竟然更好。
根据最新的报喜消息，最近半年，10人申请有7个通过，2个被拒，1个还在等待！?
这不仅意味着PR申请正处于“黄金期”，也预示着——新加坡，真的急缺人了！
那么，是新加坡正在悄悄放宽审批标准？还是短暂的“松口”？
1PR获批人数暴涨，移民“春天”已至？
回顾近10年，新加坡PR年获批人数大多稳定在2.5-3万人之间，而2024年这一年，竟然一口气冲到了3.5万人！
结合2024年人力部和经济发展局发布的多个政策信号，很显然：这并不是偶然，而是新加坡“主动抢人”的战略转变。
2生育率创新低，新加坡“生不起”了？
“0.97——这是新加坡史上最低生育率！”过去靠“龙年生娃”催生的惯例失效。年轻人不是不想生，而是“生不起”。
职场压力、生活成本、育儿焦虑… 在这些现实问题下，新加坡越来越依赖移民来补充人口与劳动力。

新岗位爆发！官方“抢人计划”
根据新加坡人力部《2024年职位空缺》报告，本地总职缺达7.75万个。缺人最多的行业集中在：ICT、金融保险、专业服务，一半以上空缺来自“新增岗位”。
尤其是新兴行业的爆发，为大量海外专业人士打开了大门：
新加坡经济发展局（EDB）推出“全球创业者计划（GFP）”，积极吸引金融科技、AI、医疗、高端制造等行业创始人落地。
岗位增长+人才短缺，结果就是：PR名额迅速扩张，申请门槛“看似”降低！
