Hi guys,
I have a quite unusual case and want some suggestions. I got my PR in 2003 and in 2005 I left Singapore until 2017. During these years I tried to renew my PR but not successful since I spent most time outside Singapore. In 2018, I decided to come back Singapore to do some business and I got a valid EP.
Now, I want to withdraw my CPF which I got during my days in Singapore. CPF told me that I need to renounce my PR since my PR is still valid in their system. It surprised my a little as I thought I will automatically lost PR status if the renew failed.
My questions is, can I still renew my PR(REP) ? since CPF told me I am still valid PR holder. or shall I just go ahead to renounce PR? or since I got EP now, I will still need a CPF account, shall I just continue use my CPF account when I was a PR ?
and what if I don’t renounce my PR, can I still use my PR IC in Singapore ?
Thanks and all the best
Jeff

Re: renew PR or renounce PR ?
Better go to ICA for clarification.
That's all you can do for now!
Goodluck!

Go to ICA. Very likely they will ask you to renounce your PR. You surely cannot renew your REP after being away from SG for so many yearsjeffchen123 wrote:Hi guys,

Re: renew PR or renounce PR ?
It honestly sounds as though ICA just need to update CPF.
I not lawyer/teacher/CPA.
You've been arrested? Law Society of Singapore can provide referrals.
You want an International School job? School website or http://www.ISS.edu
Your rugrat needs a School? Avoid for profit schools
You need Tax advice? Ask a CPA
You ran away without doing NS? Shame on you!
