REP renewed for a year

Post by cutie13 » Sun, 17 Nov 2019 4:05 pm

Hi! so I am writing to ask for advice. My REP have just been renewed for a year. The problem is, on January 2020, I will be going to Colombia with my husband as he was sent there for work. I might be gone for 2 years. here are my questions;

1. Will I be able to renew my REP even if I am out of the country?
2. What are the chances of me being renewed if I do Voluntary Contribution to my CPF?
3. If I enrol to an online design school based here in Singapore, will that be helpful in my renewal next year?

Appreciate your response in this query! :)

First thing first, 1) where are you based now? 2) how did you obtain your PR? PTS or family tie?
You must have been away from SG for a substantial number of years for ICA to only give you a one-year renewal?

Anyway, the answer should be a simple No to all 3 questions.

*Permanent* resident - if you are no longer based here permanently, why should ICA renew your REP?
