Hello,

I became a PR in 2023 under spouse sponsorship as my wife was already a PR for many years. Both our REPs are linked and both are set to expire on the same date in mid-2025. However my wife has recently been approved to become a Singapore Citizen meaning she will no longer need or have a REP. Once she becomes a citizen, what will happen to my REP given that they are currently both linked?

Thanks for the reply - do you know if there is any way to find out if my REP expiry date will automatically be extended when my spouse officially completes the registration as a SGC?

I wasn't sure if I needed to put a request into ICA for this.

1. After your wife become sc, you will remain a PR under her sponsorship, as confirmed by ICA FAQs.
2. As the REP expiry date is available in the ICA portal, so by right you can always check after your wife complete the sc registration. But if you need this info immediately, I think the only way to contact ICA directly?

Re point 1- does that mean that since she is now a SG citizen, my REP will always get renewed as my original PR was under her sponsorship? Or will my REP renewal be based solely on my own merits - e.g. own pay, job standing etc etc?

Will be renewed under Family Ties scheme or sponsored by her.

OK, so does that mean she has to apply for my REP to be renewed via her Singpass or do I do that myself via my own Singpass account?
