Re: Don't want to renounce Singapore citizenship

Thank you for the response and time again. It is very sincerely appreciated. My parents did register me for citizenship before the age of 1. I'm assuming a relative or someone advised them to do so. They always have someone to translate the documents for them. I'm assuming the person that helped the...

Re: Parent renounce Singapore citizenship to get son away from NS?

Dear MS. Thanks for getting back. Moved from SG to Switzerland in 2019. In Switzerland, my wife can apply for citizenship after 10 years and the application process takes about 2 years. So the earliest she could have CH citizenship (and give up SG citizenship is late 2031). Since 2019 she has right...

Re: Don't want to renounce Singapore citizenship

OP alana Many things does not make sense to me 1. You said your parents are largely uneducated and yet they know how to register you for SG citizenship at the age of 1 2. Your parent visited SG entering SG with SG PP for you , twice !! Wow. That takes a lot of reading , asking questions and you need...

Re: Parent renounce Singapore citizenship to get son away from NS?

In our case, my wife is SG SC. She can't give up SG SC as of now as she doesn't have another citizenship. Takes 12 years here to be able to got it. By that time our son is 17/18 already. There are a few countries that has moved their goalpost from PR to citizenship. Some countries have even place a...

Re: WE WANT TO VISIT

OK, you have to understand how IRD works. You left without sorting your taxes. There is no way IRD able to trace you overseas since you scoot immediately with no overseas contact address. So the closest will be your landlord. Last place of contact address in SG. Landlord denies liabilities. So he ga...

Re: Don't want to renounce Singapore citizenship

I received a letter from ICA in early 2017 telling me to either revoke or renounce. They probably found out that I used my US passport to travel to SG in August 2015. I did not reply to their letter and have not heard from them since. If I should visit SG, do I expect to be detained by their govern...

Re: Ignoring ICA on citizenship

So my question is does anyone know of the consequences of ignoring the deadline? Does anyone know the answer to this when the deadline is years ago? How would ICA respond if one visits Singapore now (using passport from another country where he's a naturalized citizen)? Not much. There is a validit...

Re: Citizenship by descent- Singaporean mother Australian born girl

I will throw my 2 cents based on my own personal account. I forbid anyone to do this if you are not ready for the pitfalls. My daughters were born in Singapore. We left for Australia when they were young. We did not renounce their SG citizenship when they turned 21. What we did is when we entered S...

Thanks for the response Mad Scientist, much appreciated. Not sure I know how to apply for an exit permit for my son without a Singpass though, anyone ?
If you are overseas, call the NS hotline, they will provide you a one time Singpass login.
