What's more interesting to me though is the exact nature of the immigration offences for which she was sentenced to eight months imprisonment. Was it due to her not giving up Singapore citizenship when she became an Indian citizen?

IMHO, if one is determined to remain as a Singaporean whilst at the same time living in Australia, it does not really make sense to go for Australian citizenship. This is because except in very few instances, the privileges one is entitled to being a permanent resident is the same as those entitled ...

As far as I know, they do not. I think I should state for the record that I did not mean to suggest that OP reclaims his Australian citizenship immediately after informing ICA that he has renounced his Australian citizenship. That in itself is not wrong as long as the OP then renounces his Singapore...

I should also add that under the citizenship rules, you have the right to reclaim your Australian citizenship at any time after renunciation, subject to passing the good character test.

Go back to Australia and renounce your Australian citizenship while onshore. Immigration will then grant you a former citizen's visa. This is essentially a permanent visa which allows you to remain in Australia indefinitely but does not allow you to re-enter Australia. If you need to travel, you wil...

if he is a SC, then you will not be allowed to enrol him into the AIS on the basis of his Australian citizenship. You will need to seek the permission of MOE and you'll have to make a pretty compelling case before they'll give the nod. Do you have custody or does his mother? have you explored home s...

As far as I am aware, the only condition of renouncing Singaporean citizenship during peace time is that you are of sound mind and at least 21 years of age. My brother left for Australia right after finishing his NS and has never been back since so he has not served a single day of reservist. He suc...

Why don't you call the Citizenship hotline and ask? I think as long as you have not attended the Citizenship ceremony, you should be able to cancel the application. If you decide to proceed, I reckon you should be able to hold on to your Singaporean citizenship while also holding the Australian one ...

For a Malaysian renouncing PR to go and live in West Malaysia, there is no policing. They just don't release the dude's/dudette's CPF until they are 55. Ditto for a Singaporean becoming a Malaysian. I know for a fact, however, that a Malaysian who gives up Singaporean PR but can show evidence of per...

Doesn't the truth always hurt? Singaporeans can live in denial of this fact all they want. That won't change it. Ouuuch. That would hurt me if I were a Singaporean. As foreigners, we come here, work, enjoy the benefits, get a more-than-decent lifestyle, save(and perhaps remit back!). But at the same...
