Or in this case SMS summarily executed Bambi bwahahaha

One of our posters (who shall remain nameless) is going to be upset by that remark.

Honestly, I won't!

Why are you so desperate to commit to Singapore on a long-term basis after such a short period of time?

I can answer this for most. Most of the times, people are not looking to settle down in "Singapore", they are looking to settle down in "NOT my home country"

So everytime there is a new country that allows immigrants, there are about a few million that want to flock in. A few lucky ones who are the first in the list get through and others get stuck. This cycle repeats every time a new country opens the doors.

The irony is that its very difficult for most immigration departments to differentiate engineer A from engineer B (Probably in the beginning they don't even know that they need to do this). Given this problem, they take in far too many people from 1 country and then realize what they have done, scream "holy cow" at the top of their lungs and close the doors for that set of community (well not close, nearly close so that only some very few selected ones can creep in). I really wish immigration officials knew what people they really want on day one and could have kept a tight nice inflow of only the right people.

Everyone always wants to be somewhere other than where they're at.

After visiting quite a few countries in the region, I'd probably be busting my ass to GTFO too. For starters, never underestimate the luxuries of potable tap water and consistant electricity.

Hi Iyer,

So when did you apply for the PEP date after coming here or after how much time of having P1.
I also want to do the same.
Also do you have to refill the entire form and resubmit all certificates.

Regards
Rajiv

I've just resigned from my role and was holding a P1 Pass. If I'm renting an HDB can the landlord force me to leave while I'm waiting for the PEP?

On your last day your EP is cancelled; how are you legally staying in Singapore? Without a valid EP/PEP, you're not legally entitled to reside in that unit. Your T/A probably makes a reference to that. Read it.

If your P1 was cancelled, you would be issued a SVP for 1 month.

If I am not wrong only SC/PR/EP Holders/Valid Work Permit holders can rent HDB

People on SVP cant rent HDB.

So, theoretically, yes your Landlord can ask you to vacate.

But in practice, unless the landlord saw more $$ signs in a new tenant, they will demand that you fulfil the terms of the agreement - i.e. stay put and pay .. as it happened to me when the market was going south and moi was jobless

In common sense, one should start giving 1-month notice to cease rental agreement ONE MONTH before work pass is terminated.

Although some landlords can be pretty helpful and allow you to stay for say 2 more weeks or even one month to sort out your removal part.

Didn't you have any diplomatic clause in your tenanacy agreement?
