i got my manpower officer to call various places today and we've
figured out the following:
on the exactly my 22nd birthday, i will have to go down to ICA
and apply for something known as a "Temporary Permenant Resident".
Its an oxymoron I know right?
Anyways, because I have to leave Singapore within 24 hours after
ceasing to be a Singapore Citizen without having regularised my
stay, I will get my TPR almost immediately according to him.
Still, it is only because I am serving my National Service and
this TPR will expire on the day I ORD. And meanwhile, while holding
a TPR I can apply for a PR.
Kinda sucky, having to be concerned with entry and exit permits
once I become a PR. according to my Sir, he says that if I leave
Singapore without a proper exit permit, my PR will cease to exist?
Is that true?
Btw, between being a Singapore PR and Singapore Citizen, are
there any wide differences? I'm looking through, theres not alot of
shortcomings being a PR.
Dude..you'd be crazy not to get your US citizenship and passport
squared away first before you renounce the SG citizenship.
Your US birthcert is not proof of a US citizenship.
PR is only a residential status. When you renounce Sg
citizenship you need to surrender your SG passport too.
You still need a proper passport to exit SG and entry to other
country( Including US)
