Will I be barred from obtaining an employment pass?
I was born in Singapore & because my mum is Singaporean, I automatically became one. However, my dad is from Brunei & I have lived in Brunei since I was was 1 month old. Apart from annual 2 week trips to Singapore to visit family for social reasons, I have never lived in Singapore. I travelled on a Singapore passport until 11 but from 12 onwards, have used a Brunei passport. I have never held a Singapore IC.
I was allowed by MINDEF to defer my National service commitments until 21 years old as I was deemed not to have derived any substancial socio-economic benefits. At 21, I then renounced my Singaporean citizenship.
Now, I am 29 & have a job offer to work in Singapore. Would my application for an employment pass be rejected?
I am asking because former PR's who have given up their residency status have been rejected before.
I would be most grateful if anybody had any idea or was a aware of a similar case to mine. In short, I was technically Singaporean, but never lived there for more than a month or held an IC.
Once again, thank you everybody.
