Son is not a PR anymore, so he is not obligated to serve NS, how can he be defaulter ? Gahmen let him off the hook.offshoreoildude wrote:Firstly I'm astonished the son got an LTVP at all.
I don't think the parents REP is at risk but the son almost certainly will be seen as an NS defaulter - what's his status on deferring NS or doing NS? Don't worry about WD40 - he's just feeling a bit of friction.
This is what I can postulate, knowing how ICA works and the government's perspective. I may be wrong, so don't take it personally, I'm just postulating...:ututu wrote:Son is not a PR anymore, so he is not obligated to serve NS, how can he be defaulter ?

The friend, his spouse, son and daughter are PRS in Singapore since 1998. He came to Singapore when his son was 4 years old. The daughter was born here. The son had his education in Singapore local schools and finished his A level in NUS High School. He is a brilliant student and wanted to continue his higher education in Canada. He was registered for NS and his enlistment was to be in Mar 2012. In Feb 12, he surrendered his PR and he was given a LVP after a lot of reject ions. The boy left in Aug 12 for his higher education. My friend’s REP is due for renewal in July 2013. My friend is owning a resale HDB Flat since 2001. His daughter is continuing her education here in Set 1.
My friend is worried about his renewal of REP in July 2013. Can anyone in this forum enlighten about the chances of renewal of REP of my friend under the above circumstances?
How would you know? Can you name one instance that this type case REP will be renewed ?Kakibukit wrote: Your friend's REP will be renewed based on his own merit, like whether he is gainfully employed in Singapore, whether he has paid his taxes, his CPF contributions etc. HIs REP should not be affected by his son's surrendering of his PR before NS.
But your friend's son will not be able to work in Singapore ever again, under any circumstances. He can only visit Singapore as a tourists, or on business.
This is ridiculous for people to abuse the system to try to save their kids from NS. When a person applies for PR, he/she MUST KNOW what he is getting into. But the whole thing is almost all Indians apply for PR just like they would apply for a free store rewards card. They fail to understand that the privilege comes with a responsibility.Kakibukit wrote:================Mad Scientist wrote:How would you know?

I can name a few which states otherwise ?
Show me the cases and I will show you mine .
I say it from 1st hand experience. Your REP has nothing to do with your son's PR status. Singapore government is very rational. And I am not alone, I know another friend who is still in Singapore as PR but his son has given up his.
I have another friend who did it differently. He has never applied for PR for his sons, and they studied in Singapore as foreign students. So his son didn't have to do NS.
And to do it this way, your son has to give up PR status (if he was a PR from birth) before he is 12 years old. After that, they can study in Singapore as foreign students, and pay higher fees. I believe that applies even to citizens.
Even if my son wants to come back to work in Singapore, he still can by taking up NS again as a pre-condition. At least this was told to us when he gave up his PR status.
There must be unusual circumstances in your case if your REP is not renewed simply because your son has given up his PR.
