Thank you all for your information...

My son want's to get fully better, qualify for OCS, and become a Pilot.

No one is looking for the downgrade, it's a life time you know... good night!

Thank you so much gentlemen. Take care!

Thank you so much for your reply sir.

What happens while serving NS if he needs medical tratement / surgery, willl they pay for it or is it the parents on the hook again?

How do they work the healthcare in NS anyway please?

Our son is only 10 years old, a dual citizen, and liable for Singapore NS. Recently our son went though major surgery at KK Women's & Children's Hospital for an ailment. He has missed more then 3 weeks of school and the surgeon told us at discharge that with reference to being able to lead a normal ...

am1live, My son is only +7 now, we have another 2 - 3 years to go before we leave Singapore, so we have not actually gone though the process but my previous postings of items to consider, right of entry stamp in foreign passport, not collecting PinkIC, intention to renounce and other things also bro...

Thank you very much Mad Scientist and OkLah! The work you folks do is really appreciated, no one wants to break the law, it's just that with NS the law is not crystal clear and has lots of bobby traps. Example, you are expected to apply for an Exit Permit (EP) even though you have already left... an...

Folks, I have been off this web site for a while but I am pleased to come back and see the excellent work that people like SundayMorningStaple and MadScientist continue to do... Now, I also have a US born son with US Passport + Right of Entry stamp and a Singapore Passport that will expire around hi...

jpatokal,

I not know and I do not even care. I am here in this forumn for "Exemption from Singapore National Service" issues only.

Thank you and have a nice day.

http://singapore.usembassy.gov/birth_abroad.html As per the American Embassy Singapore, you MUST first register the child's birth locally... no way around it. They were not concerned with getting a baby bonus, etc. from Singapore at all. Also, I am sure the father entered Singapore on his American p...

They will leave Singapore when the assignment is over in another 2-3 years. I figure they got at least a decade to get out and avoid NS you agree...

jpatokal, I am not trying to BS anyone, just trying to assist people. Why does the kid have to be Singaporean if the parent does not want it? In December 2008 I accompanied a relative, (newborn boy's father American with and wife Singaporean), to the birth registration at KK Women's & Children's Hos...

I am not here to judge anybody, just learn from others experiences and share my own knowledge too. You may wish to know that if a child is born in Singapore then the law requires the kid to be registered as a Singapore Citizen if both parents hold Singapore PR or if one parent has Singapore Citizens...

taxico, Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us, not everybody has that kind of character, you were very lucky to have such parents. I think if me and my wife were emotionally connected to Singapore, wanted to retire there, and explained everything to our son he too would sacrifice his...

taxico, I am pleased you too are American for the following reason: Americanism has never been about race, color, creed, religion, place of birth or line of descent. While some may disagree, it has been about integrity, honesty and fair play. With that having been said, if anyone was to read my prev...

taxico, As an American, a former Singapore PR, and as a world citizen "I firmly believe those that risk their lives to make the world a better place deserve the respect and need the prayers especially from those of us that take no such risk at all." I brought my American born son, Singaporean wife, ...
