Re: Singapore Citizenship: e-SC versus In-Person
I was told ICA run 2 calendar databases (or at least one database with slots pre-booked and made visible only to eSC route) thus eSC is normally earlier than manual. Generally it's 6-8 months from your eSC online submission date (***anyone with recent experience do chime in***)singaporeflyer wrote:At the time when I submitted, I was told by the ICA officer that eSC submission date is earlier than the over the counter manual appointment date.celeste9699 wrote:I got an appointment to submit the application in person on Oct' 17.

Since you already have a confirmed Oct'17 appointment date, I'd say stick to it and do in-person route. You may end up a later date with eSC appointment in Nov (Mar + conservative 8 months).

Re: Singapore Citizenship: e-SC versus In-Person
Hi All,
I am new here. Just came across this thread and wondering if I could pop a couple of questions. I will be submitting my documents for SC tomorrow to ICA and understand that there will be some interview going on. I am married but applying alone for now for the SC - can anyone tell me what will be the interview like? what general questions will they ask?
Thanks in advance!
Have a good day.

Re: Singapore Citizenship: e-SC versus In-Person
For the submission of documents in my experience, there is no interview. It is just an officer checking the copies against the originals. The officer may comment on the answers or lack of answers in the form (if any). I am not sure about other people's experience with this process.
Re: Singapore Citizenship: e-SC versus In-Person
Hi there, i am new to this forum.
i want to ask, how to apply e-SC if you are unemployed (e.g. housewives)?
P/S: e-SC require you to fill in your employment detail as compulsory.

How did you obtain your SPR? On your own merits or family ties?yskho1 wrote:Hi there, i am new to this forum.

Are you, like you quoted in your example, a housewife? If yes, any reason why your husband is not the main applicant and apply as a family unit?
Just curious, which passport do you hold?

if SPR under husband PR, so should be on family ties?jamie9vardy wrote:How did you obtain your SPR? On your own merits or family ties?yskho1 wrote:Hi there, i am new to this forum.

Lets say the husband choose to keep his citizenship but the wife wanted to be SC.
Passport is a factor in applying SC?

Well, this is not the first time this board is witnessing this where one applies SC and the other half keeps the back door open. You may have reasons for doing so. But ICA has seen too many such cases over the years.
You also know that even if your husband is not applying, he has to submit the exact same sets of documents that you are submitting? From his passport, IC, education certs to pay slips and CPF statements. ICA officer may also ask during the interview why is he not applying, more so when he is the one who brings home the bacon.
Passport is not a factor in applying SC but it plays a part in approval of the application. For e.g., if you hold a Malaysian passport you may get away with it but anywhere else the chances get reduced.

No matter how low the chance due to partner not applying, not malaysian, alot of similar cases, etc. If you can't even book the appointment to submit the application, there is no point to discuss about the probability of getting a SC, right?

Singapore Citizenship: e-SC versus In-Person
To answer this question, based on a friend's experience, you should still be able to submit your e-SC application. Probably you will have to leave employment details and income as blank or input 'Nil' or 'N/A'. The friend's PR is sponsored by husband but the main difference is she's employed. She applied along with kid minus the husband. If you're wondering, yes it's the favored nationality and race.yskho1 wrote:We are aware the document required even your partner is not applying.

Then it's up to ICA to assess your cases, in their own words, based on prevailing rules and conditions post submission.
Submission is one thing and approval is another, which we have discussed at length in previous post.
Re: Singapore Citizenship: e-SC versus In-Person
We tried putting in 0 or NA in the e-SC but it cannot accept. The main reason we apply SC is to get a SC for our daughter during the process.jamie9vardy wrote:To answer this question, based on a friend's experience, you should still be able to submit your e-SC application.

Oh okay, there we have it. You applied for SC under economic scheme and the system is smart enough to pick up that if you're not contributing to the economy by being gainfully employed, then you are not eligible.yskho1 wrote:We tried putting in 0 or NA in the e-SC but it cannot accept.

Again just curious, why doesn't the husband apply and you keep your passport?
Re: Singapore Citizenship: e-SC versus In-Person
The husband choose to remain his citizenship, maybe some commitment/properties there. As the wife part, she does not have any commitment/properties. Lets not dwell on this as each couple has their own reason.jamie9vardy wrote:Oh okay, there we have it.

Guess getting employed is crucial to SC application, again I hope that there are other people who can share their experience similar to us and able to get the SC.
