SINGAPORE - There is no provision under the Singapore-India Comprehensive Economic Cooperation Agreement for Indian nationals to become Singapore permanent residents and citizens, said the Ministry of Trade and Industry .
None of Singapore's free trade agreements, including Ceca, make it an obligation for Singapore to automatically grant employment passes to any foreign nationals, the statement said. However, it is misleading to attribute the number of Indians in such professions solely or mainly to Ceca, it added. This was especially so, MTI said, for"intra-corporate transferees" or those who are transferred from a company's overseas unit to Singapore.
Under Ceca, such transferees are required to have worked for their company for a period of not less than six months, among other things.This is not the first time Ceca has come under the spotlight.
