During the last two rejections, what did the letters said? Did the letters tell you to reapply after X months in Singapore?leong82 wrote:Hi everyone, I have been reading the forum and really enjoyed it. I just recently applied for my pr for the third time on the 1st of October 2012. I applied in early 2011 and 6 months after that. Both are rejected Here are my details:

Married to a Singaporean Chinese who is 28
I am Malaysian Chinese
Works in bank
Salary not good basic Sgd 2800 due to recent career switch
My wife earns 5k a month with big 4 audit firm

you didn't search around right ?g073n wrote:Hi ecureilx,ecureilx wrote:You don't get to do NS .. since you are 30 years old.leong82 wrote:Yeah, I applied under spouse scheme. I don't mind going for Ns if it gives me the pr to stay in Singapore.
if applicant less than 30 (let say 28), has he higher change to be called up for NS ?
You were rejected because your first 2 applications were too close together AND you will probably be rejected this time because you filed using the Family Ties scheme and are a newlywed which will smell just like a marriage of convenience. You might not get the kiss of bye-bye letter but you will probably be told to wait at least for two years before you file again.leong82 wrote:I remember the first one did but I am not so sure of the second one. But during both my previous applications which were rejected, I did not have a degree and not married yet. So I was hoping this 2 status change will help me for this time round.

Second Generation Permanent Residents are required to go through compulsory full-time military service as well as reservist duties after they have completed their full-time military service and turns operationally-ready.
After completing full-time military service, they are eligible to apply for Singapore citizenship. However, citizenship is not guaranteed for all applicants, as there are certain criteria that must be met such as educational qualifications and income qualifications. From 2006 to 2010, about 2% of 3,000 Second Generation Permanent Residents who completed full-time military service and applied for Singapore citizenship were rejected.[19]
If the person does not hold Singapore citizenship but still holds Singapore permanent residency, he is still required to serve the service requirement, i.e. reservist duties after he turns operationally-ready.[20]
Singapore Permanent Residents who served national service but did not acquire Singapore citizenship will be treated equally to those permanent residents without service obligation; they would not have access to the privileges granted to Singapore citizens.

He's talking about appling under the Family Ties scheme NOT 2nd gen PR.
OP, the odds are against you having to do NS, but you still have to register AND if you are lucky, they will just give you a waiver.
However, you will NOT find it in writing as to what age this happens or if there is an age cutoff at all.
Incorrect. Saint had to register when he took up PR under the Family Ties scheme, but was subsequently given a waiver. But you ARE still required to register.ecureilx wrote:i stand corrected.sundaymorningstaple wrote: Squirrel, You didn't read the thread did you?

BTW, almost 7 years ago, the registration thing went out of the window for first generation and those coming under family ties, above the NS registration age. That's going by what I have seen among my friends..
Those who get under PTS are not subject to NS, and even Mindef stopped sending the letter stating so .. unlike before when they do send the letter and then say you are exempt ..
