REP renewal pending
REP renewal pending
Hi
I am a PR since 5 years. 3 days back, I applied to renew my REP and it has been pending since then. Is this common ? For my understanding, its quite instantaneous usually.
What could be a reason for pending status ?
thanks

Re: REP renewal pending
Are you living in Singapore? Are you employed?
Re: REP renewal pending
Yes, I have been living in Singapore since the past 7 years (5 yrs as PR).
I am employed. I earn quite well.
So taxes, cpf, salary, residence criterion all are ok in my case.

Re: REP renewal pending
It's to do with the time of the year. The latest IR8A's are still being lodged so ICA system doesn't have your latest tax status in the auto-renew system. Hence it's probably gone to an officer for manual checking. This is all guesswork on a blackbox but I do think timing is critical. It's far better IMO to renew before the end of the calendar year rather than prior to April 15 (tax deadline date).
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!

Re: REP renewal pending
Thanks for your kind words.
My REP got approved for 5 years. Took 3-4 working days. Perhaps, its the IRAS thing which you mentioned.
I am actually traveling today for Biz trip and coming back on 19th . And my REP expires on 20th. So, while it was safe, it was a weird feeling in case the processing takes long.
I suppose next time, its better to apply 1-2 months in advance. But, I used to think that REP renewal is instantaneous. But I guess, it's not.

1. Stayed in SG continuosly for 5 years
2. Been employed for the last 5 years
3. Paid your CPF and IRAS tax
It is almost instantaneous.
Sometimes it takes time for the approval as it might need manual intervention.
