Renounce citizenship at overseas Singapore embassy

[smoko]

I read in another forum (am I allowed to post the link? ) that it is possible to fill in a form to renounce Singapore citizenship at a Singapore embassy overseas in which you are a citizen of, at age younger than 21. Is this true?

According to the person, technically, you have renounced Singapore citizenship and so not a Singaporean anymore. Which means you are not covered by the enlistment act.

You can renounce all you want.... but is it accepted and does it waive NS liability? Probably not unless everything else is followed correctly.

It might be allowed but ONLY if the child was born overseas and the mother registered the child as a Singaporean at a Singaporean Consulate and the child has never had an NRIC or a Singapore Passport (dual citizenship) or lived in Singapore. Otherwise, I doubt seriously that it can be done.

I guess the idea is that you're technically on Singapore soil in an Singapore HC or embasssy and you can advise Singapore Gahmen via the consular officer that you are renouncing your citizenship. That in no way though waives any other legal obligations including NS. It's an exercise in futility.
