REP Not Renewed PR Status?

[redblimp]

Hello,

I became a PR in 2023 under spouse sponsorship as my wife was already a PR for many years. Both our REPs are linked and both are set to expire on the same date in mid-2025. However my wife has recently been approved to become a Singapore Citizen meaning she will no longer need or have a REP. Once she becomes a citizen, what will happen to my REP given that they are currently both linked?

It should be reissued as the same Family Ties, but as the spouse of a SG citizen. Shouldn't be an issue. However, I cannot answer if the REP will be issued with a new 5 year life or will be reissued with the same expiry date and then have to be renewed again for a new one (e.g., keeping the same expiry date as the old one. It might only be a transactional thing. You will have to call ICA for confirmation unless somebody on the board has already got experience there. If you call ICA and get a definite confirmation, please update this thread so that we don't lose the information and it becomes part of our archives. We are only here to pay forward our accumulated knowledge to those who follow us.
