joshuaday11 You have already got the proof in your hands. The letter you have received is telling you in black and white, superseding all others. REJECT and REVOKE even if they are your own are very strong words. It means you understand the implications. Did your friends get such a letter? Just beca...

joshuaday11 It looks like right of entry allows social visits only and not study or work. While avoiding NS is not illegal, evading or the attempt to evade NS is illegal. The mother’s attempt at renunciation, yet wanting the whole family to stay in Singapore on the spouse’s EP tantamount to attempt ...

Singaporeflyer [So are they selectively issuing invitations for students?] I cannot confirm but I have heard that students in secondary schools or polytechnics do get invitations under a different scheme which is NS liable. New graduates (not undergraduates/students) used to get invitations on getti...

Oh SMS, old SMS, hi SMS! How do you do? The RMAF calls their Sikorsky helicopters Nuri i.e. parrot. There was a batch of helicopter pilots who came to Kuantan to get supplies during the Vietnam war. One week they were socializing and drinking with those in the airbase and the following week, news ca...

Otherwise there is no choice but to leave and come back to collect social visit pass first as time is running out. Given that Y has been experiencing strokes of luck l...

{Since you say collection of EP i assume the EP is approved. In this case can you check if there was a Single Entry Visa that is attached in the IPA? If you are going to exchange the SP for an EP, and if the EP was approved through online the employer has to do an issue pass before the employee goes...
