Just my few centsNeedAdvice2012 wrote: Can he get a PR again? Have there been cases? Or will it always be temporary? (i.e. on step-to-step renewing the EP). Is there a limit to the amount of times an EP can be rejected?
when a second generation PR takes up PR it is with the clear understanding that he is going to serve NS.NeedAdvice2012 wrote:Just one clarification here - he is not an NS 'defaulter' since he legally renounced his PR status. Does that make any difference for re-obtaining his PR? Are there many circumstances where the government sees him as suitable enough to issue an EP but not suitable to re-obtain a PR? Is it hard for a person with his background to normally even get an EP? Also is there a limit to how long we can keep re-applying for EPs? (like in the U.S. you can only get an H-1B for 6 years)
He cannot legally renounce unless proper protocols have been filed. The OP mentions he "renounced" at 18. He would have had to indicate prior to his 11 birthday that he would be renouncing. Also, I fail to see what extenuating circumstances, considering his parents are PR already and continue to be, he could have possibly had that would cause the government to allow him to renounce considering he should have already registered with NS at the age of 16.5 years. Had he followed proper protocols then his wife would probably not have to write the initial post. Until he clarifies that his renunciation was done according to the numbers, he would be considered a defaulter. I did not say he was a deserter, that is a different ballgame altogether.NeedAdvice2012 wrote:Just one clarification here - he is not an NS 'defaulter' since he legally renounced his PR status.

SMS, if a second generation PR who got his PR at age 2 but gave it up at age 7, but stayed on Singapore on a student visa until 18 (with one year gap in the Singapore student visa when he spent a year (when he was 8)in home country), is he supposed to serve NS, and if so how does he do NS? Would be be treated as an NS defaulter second generation PR, and so ineligible for student visa or EP later on in his life?sundaymorningstaple wrote: He cannot legally renounce unless proper protocols have been filed.

Thanks SMS for the quick responsesundaymorningstaple wrote:If he renounced before he started Secondary school or received a blue NRIC, then he should be in the clear (provided documentary evidence of said renouncement exists. So from an NS perspective he's home free......
HOWEVER, the gahmen here are not stupid. If he gave up his PR AND remained here all those years on a student visa, it will be obvious that the ruse was to avoid NS all along. While they can't hang him out to dry for an NS violation, they can very well reject his EP applications AND possible PR applications in the future. The gahmen have a very long memory.
To inherit his parent's assets, he does not need to be a citizen or PR of the country where the assets are situated or have the same nationality or PR status as his parents. There is no issue at all thereNeedAdvice2012 wrote: One other thing - what about inheritance? If he can never be a PR/citizen - does it affect being able to claim inheritance (since parents's assets are mostly in Singapore?)
depend on what type assets.SingaporeDon wrote:

You can achieve this by dreaming day and night for many moonstrebuchet wrote:Hi NeedAdvice2012,
I am in a very similar situation to your husband. I dropped my PR at about 18 and left for college and remained outside Singapore for work and am still overseas. I am above currently over 30. I think that your husband is very lucky to have received his EP as I know of many people in my shoes who couldn't even get that. I'd be very interested to know your findings about whether your husband can regain his PR and perhaps onto citizenship. Given the current political climate and the recent high profile cases I think this will be very hard.
