Withdrawal of PR status

Post by renter » Tue, 04 Apr 2006 8:40 pm

Hi,

Does anyone know, when you withdraw your PR, whether you get back all of your CPF savings?


I've heard some time ago that the amount in MediSave account cannot be withdrawn. Is it true?

thanks.

To your first question, Yes. To the second question, No.

When you give up your PR you are allowed to withdraw all of your CPF including the amounts in the Special Account, Medisave Account as well as the ordinary account. There is no hold on any of it. If you are having to leave Singapore in a hurry (legally that is :mrgreen: ) you can give them the bank account details anywhere in the world and they will credit it into your bank of choice in a matter of 15 to 20 working days.
