Quiter Throw IC to Siam NS: Jus to Fly to US to Play Soccer?

Shona SG

Hi all,

I'm currently doing my bmt in navy. However, im planning to go to US to persue my degree and to join a soccer club there. I've heard that i can only get exempted if i renounce my citizenship at 21 years old. I'm only 19 this year.

Could i get disrupted from NS for 2 years, then renounce my citizenship in the states? I dont want to come back to Singapore to continue NS. I'm not very sure if that is allowed. Would the office in charge allow me to do?

Should i get letters from the Singapore Sports Council to support the documents i need. Im mainly going to the states to persue my soccer ambition. What would help?

Thank you very much!

Refer to: www.mindef.gov.sg/nsmen for more information.

Without a doubt, you will still have to serve finish your NS.
That's for sure. No doubt about it, even with the benefit of a doubt.

The Enlistment Act of the Laws of Singapore has everything covered to make sure no one can escape/ evade NS.
