Is United States or Singapore easier to get a permanent residence for?

Both ask for similar funds. Approval depends more on clean documents than on the destination; both refuse mainly for inconsistent funds and weak ties.

Can I apply for United States and Singapore at the same time?

Yes for e-visas, since no passport is held. If either is a sticker visa the passport is with that consulate, so sequence the sticker application first or use the second passport option where your country allows one.

Which is better value, United States or Singapore?

Singapore is cheaper per applicant, but value depends on validity: United States is valid 10 years and Singapore 30 days. A longer, multiple-entry visa costs less per trip.

Where do these figures come from?

Government fees, processing windows and funds figures are taken from the official United States and Singapore sources cited on each destination page and on the verified route pages and re-checked when the authorities publish changes.
