NS for PR

[Ginner-Sg]

Hi, was just wondering about NS. I became a PR last mth, though my wife who is a Singaporean. My question is do i have to do NS?, I've got no degree so did not come under PTS, was just wondering.

If I am not wrong, you need not and only your male kids would be asked to do NS

Wouldn't it have been an idea to check this before you signed the papers?

ICA website says those who get PR via PTS are exempt, it doesn't say those who get it via their spouse are so I'd be inclined to think that you may be expected to serve, but I could be wrong

"Main applicants who are granted PR status under the Professionals/Technical Personnel and Skilled Workers (PTS) Scheme or the Investor Scheme are exempted from NS. "

But spouses who get PR under the spouse scheme would get an exemption. just my 2 cents.. MS or SMS can confirm

I guess this one explains it, unless the rules have changed in a year (which they could have done of course)

Depends how old you are Ginner

SF and Jaycee are spot on. YOu may need to register for NS but you will not serve the NS duty

I wouldn't say you will not have to serve NS as it could depend on the age of the OP. If the OP is say 20 years old he might be called up for NS. If you are under 40 you will have to register for NS.

What are the chances of him being under 20 or near that age ??
He is married with a local and just received his PR. I bet ya he is around 30s.

I did say you might need to register for NS on my earlier post, did I ?

I think I did

You're probably right but without that all important info it's a hard to answer for sure.

Yes you did say he might have to register, I was just clarifying that he will have to register. I had to register and I was........... well lets just say I was in my 30's

I thought you are only 16 minus the school holidays, National Holidays, Saturday , Sundays

Yep depends also how expensive he is to be called for NS / reservist ...

I know some people in my firm who never get called for reservist cause they probably earn over 10-15k per month :/
