Immigration
- Even in uncertain times during a weakened global economy, Singapore continues to attract foreign direct investments (FDI). (https://www.businesstimes.com.sg/government-economy/global-fdi-flat-in-2019-but-surged-42-in-singapore-un-report) The growth in FDI will bring about more business and employment opportunities. Along with an ageing population and lower birth rates, Singapore will look to immigration to fill the gaps. Since 2010, Singapore has granted around 30,000 SPRs anually.

Why choose us over a typical immigration firm?
A few years ago, our Ms Jocinda Wong has gone through the exact process and was convinced to obtain assistance from a local immigration company (who proclaimed to be an expert) to assist her in applying for PR due to her busy court schedule. She was promised that she would have a seamless process in her application. However, to her horror, the papers prepared by this company were not up to her standard and her full name was even wrongly typed on the application form – which was a fatal mistake! She ended up spending her Friday night to re-type the forms and papers for submission the next day! One can imagine how stressful and traumatic the process could be. The said company could not even answer to the mistakes they have done to her application. We honestly cannot fathom how many clients would have to face such issues like her – having to pay exorbitant fees in return of low work quality and lack of accountability.
Here at East Asia Law Corporation, we build the trust and confidence of our clients through our professional services with utmost integrity and honesty. Our lawyer, Ms Jocinda Wong and her team, will walk you through the application process from start to finish. Our Ms Jocinda Wong aims to provide you the most seamless way to secure your PR in Singapore and does not want you to have the same bad experience she previously had.
