Permanent residency in Singapore is an immigration status in Singapore, second only to Singaporean citizens in terms of privileges. Collectively, both Singaporean citizens and permanent residents form the country's resident population and are calculated together in terms of census data and statistics.
A permanent resident (PR) of Singapore has most of the rights, privileges, obligations, and responsibilities that citizens do, including National Service (NS) obligations for second generation males and first generation males applying as students and compulsory Central Provident Fund (CPF) contributions, among others.
