Dear Mad Scientist Thank you for your words of cautious on renunciation process. We will bear that in mind. Hopefully we will never have to go down that route. We are aware that the boys are allowed to apply for GBR citizenship again, after they give it up in order to retain SG citizenship. Not sure...

Understand. We want our boys to do national service. Now they are in local daycare. Elder child is going to local primary school next year. Hopefully as time comes by, they will be excited about the NS, like any of their peers. As for renouncing SG citizenship (or GBR's), it will take place after th...

Thank you Mad Scientist. We gotten the boys' citizenship just a couple of months ago, and applied for SG passports as well. Would it make any difference if we obtain the stamp with Right of Entry on their GBR passports, and not using SG passports until they expire?

Update - submitted Singapore citizenship application for my boys last November. Our interview with ICA is scheduled for next month. In addition, my husband has made an e-appointment in Sept to submit his PR application. Not exactly sure what to expect during the interview, apart from the obvious que...

Thank you for your advice sundaymorningstaple. That's a relief to know. We are concerned that ICA will disregard/reject their employment pass application entirely, because they renounce SG citizenship, even after the boys complete NS. It is fair, as long as ICA treats their EP application, the same ...

Finally we have relocated to Singapore 2 months ago. There was a long delay with my husband's job transfer. My 2 boys are now settled down in local daycare. Now my older boy is due for primary 1 registration next year for 2017 intake. As my boys are non SG citizens nor PR, MOE will not guarantee a s...

Thank you!

Hello. I am a Singaporean and my husband is a Brit. Few years ago, I read several threads in this forum about the implications for Singapore citizenship and National Service. Thanks to those useful information posted here, we applied UK passports (only) for our sons - 3 years old & 7 months old. Bot...
