when to go for renewal of REP

salmanucit · Post by **salmanucit** » Wed, 05 Sep 2012 10:28 pm

Hi,
I am a PR and my Re-entry Perit (REP) is expiring in November. When should I apply for the renewal for my REP? Or how much time before expiring I can/should apply for the renewal of it? Can i apply for the renewal by the mid of September?
Thanks

Internet is a wonderful tool to find information, even though I'm not even a PR

Applicants are advised to renew their REPs not earlier than 3 months before the expiry of their current REP

The following link is found on the link page you posted. You will need a SingPass if you don't have one already. You can walk into any CPF board and apply and receive one on the spot.

Procedure

Submit your application online via Electronic Re-Entry Permit System (e-REP) with a SingPass account before the expiry date of your current REP.

Only reason I didn't include that is that is still takes 4 days while going to the CPF board it's instantaneous.

Just take note that when you apply early, let's say Sept for a November expiring REP, you will lose two months. If renewal is approved on Sept 2012, your REP will next expire on Sept 2017 (assuming 5 yr REP). But the advantage is that you stop worrying earlier.

After filled in the necessary info required online, you will get your REP approved immediately... oh ya, do not apply too early...
