Hiii

For context, I'm 23 years old, female, currently a year 3 EEE undergrad in NTU, and have been a SPR since 2018 with my first 5 yr REP. I usually travel overseas to China once a year from May to July for school holiday, and to Malaysia a few times a year for short vacations.

Since my REP expires in Oct 2023 so I applied renewal yesterday, and just now I found out that I was only given one year this time... I'm not sure whether it is because for working status i put unemployed, but under remarks I explained that I'm still a student and that't why I'm not working in Singapore now. I'm a bit worried and here are a few questions I wish to get some help with:

1. Is this one year rep a sign that I won't get my rep renewed for next year?
2. Should i appeal for a 5 year rep this time?
3. Is there anything I did wrongly during rep application? like, should I not put working status as unemployed (cuz I'll be doing my internship in Aug)?

I'm very grateful for all thoughts, advice etc. Thanks a lot!

1. How long did you stay out of sg in last 2-3 years ?
2. In which category did you get your PR ?

In fact, something similar happened to a friend of mine. Chinese Undergrad from NUS. Her REP was renewed for 1 year when she joined a job. Next time, 5 years. She was also surprised but I guess its bcus she was new in her job.

Most likely, once u start working , it will be 5 years.

My advice - study well , enjoy and get a good job. No worries
