Of course you can apply and tell them that on the application. You're telling them you broke the law and they'll use that to deny your application and worse. Just like you can apply for a PR with just six months of an EP. You're almost assuredly going to be turned down. But you're welcome to try!cnfcnf wrote:I am just trying to understand things:
You will notice that there are 2 separate application forms for Singapore passport renewal. One that is submitted overseas:
http://www.ica.gov.sg/data/resources/do ... _11_OS.pdf
And one that is submitted within Singapore:
http://www.ica.gov.sg/data/resources/do ... M_E_11.pdf
The overseas one has a special section:
Have you been granted citizenship of another country? *Yes / No
(i) If Yes, state the country: ________________________________________________
(ii) If No, on what basis are you permitted to remain in the country where you are residing? ___
This would be quite unambiguous in implying that you can apply for a passport renewal if you have obtained another citizenship. Of course, if ICA decides to renew, that is an entirely different matter. I just want to know if anyone stated "yes" and what the outcome was.
Thanks
iirc, they'll make you choose one and force you to take an oath if you choose the singapore passport.cnfcnf wrote:Hi,
I was looking at the passport renewal form at: http://www.ica.gov.sg/data/resources/do ... _11_OS.pdf
It asks:
(b) I am / The child* is a citizen of Singapore.
(c) I have / The child* have/have not/has/has not* acquired the citizenship of another country.
The above clearly implies that one (who is 22+ years old) can get a Singapore passport renewed *even* if you say, "I have acquired the citizenship of another country".
Is this correct? Has anyone had a situation where they have declared the above and obtained a passport or been rejected for one?
Thanks in advance
i believe the form found in missions overseas are tailored towards people living outside of singapore. including minors <22yo. it helps to keep their database up-to-date, i would think.cnfcnf wrote:I am just trying to understand things:

i answered yes on the form many yonks ago and sadly ICA made me choose... sent me a few letters and in the end i had to give up my singapore citizenship as I was residing overseas and it was much easier
