Most likely not going to flysppr19 wrote:Hi There!
Here’s my situation:
I was transferred from SG to USA (intra-company transfer) on Mar 2015
ICA renewed our REP for an year on June 2017 , going to expire on June 2018.
Currently I am searching for job in SG, no matter whether I get one or not, planning to return to SG by May 2018 along with family.
Let’s say if I me or my wife get a job there by June or July and apply for REP renewal, what are the chances for ICA consider our application?
Has only had such experience?
Please share, and any suggestions are most welcome.
Thanks,
Your REP expires but not your PR. When you come back before expiry don't apply for REP renewal until you find a job. You can live in SG and look for a job even after your REP expires, just don't step out of the country. After you find a job apply for REP and see how it goes. They may renew it for shorter durations until you build some credibility.sppr19 wrote:Hi There!

Thank you Wd40, for your positive thought. And I have one more question, we are family of 4, myself, my wife and 9yrs old daughter are SPR. MY son was born in US (holding US passport by birth). I may need to apply LTVP for him upon arrival in SG. Does my short validity of REP will affect his LTVP application?Wd40 wrote:Your REP expires but not your PR.

This I have no clue. Maybe you should contact the ICA.sppr19 wrote:Thank you Wd40, for your positive thought.

I would put 'self employed' and be prepared to back it up with some evidence like a half written book or business plan.Globaliser wrote:Hey all,
Related question and decided not to start a new thread...
My REP is coming up for renewal soon after 5 years of PR. I am currently on a career break since last July and enjoying life. (yes, I am an unemployed bum but by choice for now).
I own a property in Singapore which I live in, besides the mortgage no debts. My CPF OA is empty as it was used to offset my mortgage payment but SA and MA are up to date but no contributions since I stopped working.
Now the question is, what to fill in on the renewal application on employment, if I put unemployed will that have a detrimental effect on the renewal application (I imagine it would)?

I dont think self employed will work. If self employed, they will ask for evidence of income. He has to declare that he is unemployed and quickly find a job to renew his REP. All this is assuming he obtained PR under the PTS SchemePNGMK wrote:I would put 'self employed' and be prepared to back it up with some evidence like a half written book or business plan.Globaliser wrote:Hey all,

I thought about being self employed before but that would probably only work with evidence of a registered company and income from that company. At the moment I have neither. Creating a PTE. LTD. is possible but generating an income though it will take longer.
On the PTS scheme, I honestly never looked into the way my PR was granted (just that it was approved, period). How can I find out under what scheme it was approved? Old paperwork or it is held online as well?

I don't think your REP issue is a hindrance to your son's LTVP because he is a son of PR. But this doesn't mean he is guaranteed to be granted PR status!sppr19 wrote:OK...thank you once again for ur response.Wd40 wrote:This I have no clue.

I am very surprised you are not aware of this. Did you apply on the basis that you had an employment visa, or that you have a family member (spouse, etc) who supported your PR application?Globaliser wrote:PNGMK wrote: I would put 'self employed' and be prepared to back it up with some evidence like a half written book or business plan.Thanks both,singaporeflyer wrote: I dont think self employed will work.

I started om an EP in 2006 to 2009, left Singapore for a year, returned on an EP for a different company for a year from 2010 to 2011 and a PEP from 2012 to 2014 while still working for the same company I started with in 2010.singaporeflyer wrote:
