Hi, I'm a singaporean living overseas for many years. I may have the opportunity to come back to work in Sg. What kind of visa can I apply for my kids who are not singaporeans? Can I avoid PRship for them?

Before we proceed, here are a few question you need to fill upezerecs wrote:Hi, I'm a singaporean living overseas for many years. I may have the opportunity to come back to work in Sg. What kind of visa can I apply for my kids who are not singaporeans? Can I avoid PRship for them?
Thanks for your reply.
1. Did you attain dual citizenship for your children ?
2. Your ROM is overseas, yes ? Did you register your marriage here ?
3. Your kids, boy , girl ?
4. What nationalities are they ?
5. Did your spouse ever work here before ? If yes, on what employment pass ?

Technically to avoid PR for kids , spouse need to get EP here and apply DP for kids. This is one way to go.ezerecs wrote:thanks for replying
1. kids are not singaporeans. no dual citizenship.
2. ROMed in Sg.
3. Boys
4. french.
5. spouse never worked in sg but had PR which expired.
OR you could try this under LTSVP

If you wish to avoid NS, do not take up dual citizenship nor PP or whatever.
If spouse PR/REP has expired to regain , spouse need to return back all CPF monies plus interest before he can regain PR . But that will lead to children classified as 2nd Gen PR and lead to NS liabilities
I do not think your spouse PR expired if you apply spouse PR under Family Ties

Only one codicil to add. If the Father was PR on Family ties, but the kids were never gotten PR (remember that PR for kids is optional), then they can be brought in on LTVP's and/or student visas while still minors. But once reaching the age of majority, they will no longer be able to stay here unless they can qualify in their own right for some type of residency pass.

Bingo. You guys hit the right note. To avoid NS for the boys. 
I will check on my spouse PR status with Immigration though the PR card had an expiry date written on it.
For the Long Term visa, how long is long? It mentioned 3 months or more but how often would I have to renew it? Any idea?
What is dependant pass for then?
Thank you for taking the time to write.

PR does not expire but REP does but under Family Ties REP does not expire too, I think.ezerecs wrote:Bingo. You guys hit the right note. To avoid NS for the boys.

LTSVP can vary from six month to a year or 2 years. Use to be 5 years renewal. APplication is to ICA
DP is when spouse attain EP from MOM. Dependent pass is meant for spouse or children of EP holders in SG
