SINGAPORE EXPATS FORUM
Singapore Expat Forum and Message Board for Expats in Singapore & Expatriates Relocating to Singapore

I assumed that you mean your REP expired when you were 17. Because you were outside of Singapore when your REP expired, you lost your permanent residency. To regain PR, you must apply on your own merits through the PTS scheme or family scheme (if married to a Singaporean). Being an ex-PR who did not...

LTVP holders can be covered by local insurance (e.g. PR parents buying health insurance of LTVP child).

I think you have a chance since you were approved for PR on 2014 when PR approval has already been tightened.

In local schools, it is said that the higher ranked schools have more stress due to lots of homework b...

I can not recommend a choice for you not knowing how you are living in Bangalore. But there are some points to consider - Private schools are expensive. When your child begins primary 1, there is a great chance that he/she will not be able to get a spot on the local school. So your future budget mus...

You can apply for LTVP directly. PMLA helps to assess your chances of being granted a LTVP before marriage.

The new e-rep system which was introduced last year may have injected some kinks into the system. It is possible that the ease of application (now online) encouraged many people to apply thus extending the processing time. I could be wrong because the 100 sgd fee per application will also stop some ...
