1. PEP - no. DP not sure.Stiffmaester wrote:Thanks for the clarifications to my question above. Wanted to check some othere stuff with the regulars here who know the process:
Background: I applied for myself and my wife in May, 2012 (been close to 7 months since the application) and 2 months into my application the ICA had sent me the letter asking me for my family members' CV details which I furnished. I am currently on PEP and my wife is on DP, working on LOC with Mediacorp.
Recent Developments:
My company is considering sending me over-seas on a expat assignment for 12 months from Jan. If I accept this role, I will have to move out of SG by end of Dec to Bangkok with my wife for a year. I will remain an employee of my company in Singapore (XXX company in SG) but as an expat I will be living outside SG and will be paid salary in Bangkok. While there is a chance that I might have my PR processed by then (processed = approved or rejected ), its likely that I might not hear anything back from ICA by then given that off late its taking upwards of 9 months in some cases.
Questions:
1. Does my PEP and my wife's DP get cancelled automatically? Or given that I am an employee of a Singapore based company will I retain my PEP?
2. Further, if I move out for a year, does my PR application automatically get cancelled?
Would love some thoughts on this from those who know MOM processes. I actually did call them twice but I got 2 different answers from the call operators (1 said no issues, other said PEP will be cancelled). I have been clear with my company that I will only accept the role if there is no impact on my PR application so will welcome some clarity on this from those who might know.
Cheers!
