Would like to see others' experience on the subject. Case 1: 1. Parents and boy are SG citizens. 2. Boy > 13Y but < 16.5Y old. 3. Parents and boy all have foreign residence, on the way to foreign citizenship, but just not yet have foreign citizenship. 4. All live overseas. 5. Boy's NS deferment appl...

If you could give more detail about your situation...

Exciting news! CMPB has approved my deferment until renunciation at age 21. I've been given a special exit permit that does not require a bond and will be returning to Singapore this Christmas. :D Did both of your parents (or only 1 parent) renounce their SG citizenship before they applied for your...

Re: Guide to NS issues

Hi kraikk: You mentioned "A lawyer is definitely useful" under the section "If all has failed". I wonder what explicitly could a lawyer do in this matter? Do you think there is room for negotiation with Mindef by a lawyer? Has anyone here used a lawyer before and care to share your experience? Thanks.

Re: Guide to NS issues

Hi kraikk, Thank for the good work. Have you research into the deal about both parents renouncing before the boy turns 18, as posted by Johnny3 in the "exemption from national service" thread (page 7, Posted: Wed Nov 26, 2008 3:41 pm Post subject: Re: Singapore/UK dual national and NS). Is this a vi...

Re: Regarding Renunciation of Singapore Citizenship

... as I have to contact CMPB, stating that I am a defaulter and have to resolve my NS offence as soon as possible. What exactly does this mean? They will not give me a straight answer... Hi Knightman, Have you actually contacted CMPB? What did they tell you exactly when they did not give you a str...

Hi,

Can you tell me how easy it is in this case? Is there any provision under SG law for a 16 years old to migrate and renounce SG citizenship, of course without NS?

How about the bond part? From 16.5 to 18, assuming that the US citizenship comes just before 18, do you think I still have to place a bond?

Thanks.

Re: Give us that facts to assist you

Thanks, PHK. Here is some further information. 1. Current exit permit obtained shortly after boy turned 13. 2. Passport was renewed before boy turned 11. New passport was valid for 2 years old at issuance and so it was subsequently extended until and beyond now. 3. Intent to renounce SG citizenship ...

Re: Singapore/UK dual national and NS

Here is my story, hope it helps: 3 kids with me here in the US, eldest son born in Singapore, left Singapore when he was 11 months old. So he never benefitted from any Singapore education or anything else, except using his SIngapore passport. His passport expired before he is 11, of course not know...
