Well... that website left out a lot of the requirements... you will find the current Entrepass requirements quite onerous... check out the MoM website here:sam01 wrote:Yes you are right! There is a thing called EntrePass:

I easily meet all the requirements for this Visa. I may consider this option.
Thank You!
If you had no intention of living here for good (or at least very long time) you should had never applied for PR in the first place.sam01 wrote:I renounced my Singapore PR after living there for 3.5 years. At that time, we had no intentions of living in Singapore for good. Hence, it made no sense for me to serve a foreign army for 2.5 years and then return to Canada. Not that I have anything against the Singapore army. None of my other Expat Canadian and American friends served NS.
I always wanted to return to Canada as all my friends & family are here.
Is she still a Canadian citizen?sam01 wrote: My mom decided to stay in Singapore for a few more months and then return home to Canada. However, she quickly rose up the corporate ladder in the company that she worked for in Singapore. Hence, she decided to move there permanently by acquiring Singapore citizenship many years later.
Sure, go ahead and see what happens.sam01 wrote: So to answer your question, no I absolutely did not "envisage this predicament".
I myself now run a well established E Commerce company. Hence, I don't really need a "Job". I can work from anywhere in the world and still be able to sustain myself. In fact, I spend half the year travelling Europe and Asia while running my E Commerce company.
Being a Canadian Citizen, I am allowed up to 90 days each time I visit Singapore. So if I wanted to live with my Mom in Singapore, I guess I just have to make a quick 1 day trip to Malaysia every 90 days and return to Singapore for another 90 daysDoesn't seem like a bad lifestyle to me! I travel a lot anyways.
I am most curious to know what this is about. Sounds like a return to Entrepass of 2000-2005 where an idea, a biz plan, and a decent resume could get you in the door.PNGMK wrote:The entrepass is not the visa I am referring to. The new visa coming has a lot more open requirements.
When I became a PR, I was only 14 years old. At that age, I had no clue what a "PR" is and what I am signing up for. The decision to become a PR was made by my mother, not me. And its not like a Singapore government official would sit down with a teenager and explain to him what a PR is and what the obligations of a PR are. My plan at that age was to return home to Canada.If you had no intention of living here for good (or at least very long time) you should had never applied for PR in the first place.
Joseph Ziegler (Austrade Singapore - Landing Pad Manager) mentioned it in an Austcham meeting. I think the new visa is has multiple add-ons to address the issues real entrepreneurs have coming into Singapore (it sounded as though the visa addressed the real issues of cost for start up managers including access to local schools and housing cost issues being addressed).Strong Eagle wrote:I am most curious to know what this is about.

you assume the rules don't apply to you because you are a canadian in asia? or was this something that your mom also erroneously conferred onto you when you were a minor?sam01 wrote:...Being a Canadian Citizen, I am allowed up to 90 days each time I visit Singapore.

okay. aged 14, too young to understand NS. fine... this is absolutely possible in some cases. blame some people's predilection to wanting everything "cheap and green".sam01 wrote:When I became a PR, I was only 14 years old.

...Singapore does not allow dual citizenship.
...I feel that NS should be optional for 2nd generation immigrants because minors are not sure what they are signing up for when they get a PR. As mentioned before, most minors don't even know what a PR is, just like myself.
I think that 2nd generation minors who are PRs should be given an option to serve NS. When they see the benefits, I am sure more than 50% would willingly serve the country. But I feel that forcing a minor to commit 2 years of their life is unfair, especially when they don't even know what they are signing up for. It is a legal obligation after all.
