National Service Exit Permit

[Kathryn]

I applied Exit Permit for my 13yr old boy. I have 2 doubts :

First doubt is how many times can we renew the Exit Permit?
For eg, I did the EP today and put it for less than 2years. In 2025, I will need to renew and he will turn 15 so can I extend for 1.5years so that no need to pay bond and then in 2027, I can extend EP again for another 2years before he serves NS?

Second doubt is can I use my house in SG as a Bankers Guarantee for paying the bond?

Thanks in advance.

Information sharing only, for confirmed details contact official. you can apply for renewal from overseas, no limit, until you meet all conditions, if satisfy you get renewal. once reach 16.5 either submit bond, or surety bond (with two local sureties) if you met certain conditions, like applicant should be with parents, parents employed, etc.,

Mate; you are so full of sh*t like a bloody robot. If you do not know sh*t. go to the corner and suck your thumb

OP : No bond requirement when you apply at the age 13 will be twice. Which means at 13 apply for 1 yr and 364 which will lead to the age of 15, then do it again till he passed 16 1/2 . No bond as long as it is less than 2 years
By then he will need to do medical check up etc in Singapore or overseas to be submitted to CMPB
House cannot be used as bond. Banker's guarantee form of assurance in the form monetary submission

For multiple renewals, consult the relevant authorities like the Ministry of Defence or Immigration. Typically, extensions are granted based on circumstances. Regarding using your house as a Banker's Guarantee, it's best to confirm with the issuing authority for specific requirements and eligibility criteria. Best wishes with your application.

Hello, I apply Ep for my son at 13. EP given for 2 years.
My son is now 15 and requires renew and I followed what you said. Renew EP til 16.5. But Bond is still required..

My son turns 15 this year and his exit permit expires end of Jun. I tried extending for less than 2 years, however the website still says need a bank guarantee. Any idea if I need to cancel the existing permit and apply for a new one less than 2 years. Thanks for the inputs.

You don’t necessarily need to cancel the existing exit permit. If your son’s permit expires in June and you’re applying for an extension of less than 2 years, the bank guarantee requirement might still appear as a default system message. However, for extensions under 2 years, the bank guarantee is usually not required.

I’d recommend:

Double-check the exemption rules – Ensure your son qualifies for the under-2-year extension without a guarantee.

Contact ICP (Immigration & Checkpoints Authority) – They can confirm if your application is correctly processed without a bank guarantee.

Reapply if needed – If the system still enforces the guarantee, canceling and submitting a fresh application for <2 years might help.

For official confirmation, you can refer to ICP’s website or call their helpline.
