Yes it can. That said, where was your son brought up? I ask because I am in a similar situation with a son with US/Sing dual citizen. For me it is a no brainer. For youngsters who have never had to defend their countries and therefore see no reason for NS they have a problem. My son will be doing NS here. He was born here, has enjoyed the relative safety and security here, received subsidised schooling, medical, housing and so forth. Therefore I feel (an so does he) that he owes something to the country. This is how it should be. I don't ask anybody else to agree with either one of us. If you remove the ability for him then YOU are at fault (he is only 9) He may well eventually meet a local girl and want to marry and come back here (As my daughter recently did in February). How are you going to explain that due to YOUR personal belief you have made a permanent decision for him, without HIS best interest at heart, that may impact his life forever. If he does his NS then he has the best of both worlds without having limited his scope. And he will be a better man because of it as well.lyzadavies wrote:Hi
I have a son who is turning 9 in September. At the moment, he has dual nationalities, Singaporean and British. I don't really favour him going to National Service when he turns 18 but by renunciating his Singapore citizenship before he turns 11, would make me feel guilty towards him if say, when he is a grown man holding a very professional job that requires him to be in Singapore for business purposes, the Immigration might turn him down on his business visa. Does it happen to anyone?

Could you provide the link on ICA website that says it is okay to have dual nationality beyond 21 years old?
Can't find it anywhere...
