| Permanent-residence pathway | Applicants generally need 60 months of qualifying registered residence based on employment-permit conditions and must be legally resident and employed when applying and during/after processing. Five calendar years alone do not qualify; self-employment alone is not accepted under this scheme. Approval gives permission to work for a further five years without another employment permit. Stamp 4 upgrades are a separate permission.As of 2026-09-20Source 1Source 2 |
