PR/REP expired. Need 2 return. Is Renunciation letter reqd?
PR/REP expired. Need 2 return. Is Renunciation letter reqd?
My REP expired since I was out of Singapore more than 6 yrs now. My company wants to transfer me to Singapore. I spoke to ICA they told me I will need to apply for EP and then come and talk about renewing the PR.
But the immigration agent tells me - to apply for EP I will need to get a Renunciation Letter from Singapore consulate here. Is that neccessary ? I dont want to renounce my PR - i want to try to get it back when I m there.
Please advise.
Thanks

Have you taken out your CPF monies when you left SG ?
Did you return your PR status to ICA when you left SG ?

And No I did not return my PR Status. My REP just expired last year. Does that change anything. Please advise.

It would appear the the OP is not in Singapore but in his home country or another 3rd country and he's engaged a consultant there who has given him that advice.

You should not return your PR status, Apply the EP and come to see Singapore to ICA and discuss with them on regaining REP back as your earlier post mentioned
I do not know of any renounce paper required to return PR if you wish to do so. The SOP is to return the PR to ICA personally and revoke your status
You should not do what this PWC do as it may effect your renewal of REP unless you can point to ICA guideline which requires this which I am pretty sure does not exist.

Update
Just an update. PWC was correct. This was confirmed by the Singapore Consulate in NY. Basically since my PR expired a year back I had already lost the PR status, the only thing was to get a renunciation confirmation letter.
My EP got approved within 10 days with submission of renunciation application acknowledgement.
My wifes EP was applied tjru another company without the renunciation proof and it took a month (after renunciation application).
Hope this will be in records for any one needing it.
