Will my Singapore citizenship application be affected if I accept an overseas job?
You will not be eligible for Singapore citizenship as only economic contributions in Singapore will be considered. Also, a Singapore PR can only be away from Singapore for 50% of the qualifying residential period, subject to a maximum absence of one year, whichever is shorter. However, absence due to official business, overseas posting by a Singapore employer may be treated as residence for purpose of citizenship application on a case-by-case basis.
