MS I hear you and it was kinda strange but thats what they suggested at CMPB. Only time will tell.

The other challenge is syncing up all of the trips with school terms and holidays to ensure we stay within the 3 months. I assume that 3 months equals 90 days.

Still waiting for CMPB to call back as they could not help much because of the unique situation. Bond by deed will not work as both parents have to live in Singapore. Guarantors wont work as we have no relatives and it is unrealistic to ask friends to go guarantor. The plan b will simply have some r...

Thanks @nanana, My daughter was in local school until recently finishing P6 and my son in HCIS. My wife has extended her PR a few times already and this latest time her aussie PR was only extended 1 yr. There are several factors at play here necessitating the wife and kids being back in Australia. C...

Sure thing I will pass on all knowledge.

Thanks guys. I will speak with ica tomorrow and work out if there are avenues. I actually want to give up the dependants pr and see if prior to uni he can come and serve to avoid the "adverse consequences" I think it will be a combo of 1year exit permit coupled with several ica, midef conversations ...

See the issue is we have no Singapore relatives. I am an Aussie and the wife is Malaysian. I can look into his to sort the bond. I know that you can buy a performance bond however I don't see that as the best solution as it could potentially be quite a cost. If it were not the higher of formula it w...

OK thanks but the main reason I am staying is I am the bread winner. Private schooling is very expensive in Singapore and wife and son staying in Singapore is not a financially viable option. I am not trying to avoid ns. My wife is an Aussie pr who needs to be in Australia to retain the pr. Both kid...

The lady I spoke with as ns said that if I gave up my pr he would lose his pr as he is my dependant. This would have repercussions should he wish to return for work. This needs to be confirmed with ica. Actually all I wish to do is avoid bond and allow my son to do ns. The complexity arises when I g...

There are a number of reasons for the move including health of myself as well as my aging mother, high cost of living etc etc. Just want to assess all options. I realise my son will lose his pr and ns liability if my pr or his pr is given up. I want to know whether the option is still there to do ns...

I think it was auto corrected by my phone when I put MY citizenship. Never intended for that. I can ask for 375 day deferment and then return every 3 months. I want him to do ns just don't want the bond. If I rescind wife and kids pr then can my son come back and do is when he has completed his Aust...
