Yes. I don't think PR has expiry date, as long as you stay in SG, forever, and don't go out for holiday or work. REP allow you to travel out and keep the PR only.

Call ICA, or don't bother. They never ask about the paper so far. You get to reprint new REP next time you change your passport and update in the website.

PR valid for 5 years. No?

No, you just have to renew your REP, that's all

funny coz i got no problem printing and saving end of last year. If you already have the hardcopy then it's fine

you are supposed to carry the REP with you when you exit/entry Singapore.

OIC

supposed lor ....ICA FAQ says need to go KALLANG To print leh ...aiyoyo...

No need print lah.. Only go when you pass there or when you needed.

Already 5 year PR. This one only use once when I convert my driving license.

You are PR ? if yes you might consider using your CPF to pay for upgrade on hospitalization.

Well, i am not looking at 5 star hospital, just upgrade your medi shield to max(up to all amount paid using CPF) will do.

then the soft copy ? I also never carry REP. Just stored it in cloud and show them if needed.

Medisave has daily claim limit of $450 for hospitalization and other limit for test and procedure.

The SGH nurse advice me on the estimated 2 days ward c bill was 2k+. If they cant get your insurance company to issue the guarantee letter the you have to pay this amount as deposit before they admit you(except A&E). Minus the medisave you still need to pay over2k deposit. The amount just go higher for better ward. The actual bill may be way lower if you don't need extra services but still, either you or your insurance company have to foot the deposit first.

So don't save on your medisheild. Buy other critical illnesses plan to cover your long recovery or early your retirement plan. I regret buying saving/investment plan ever since I started work. I should had focus on medical and life insurance and save the rest of my premium.

feeling lucky that my wife and my daughter PR application got approved....worry the tighten rules get into effect and quicky bring them to apply.....now, question is when to get them into singapore....and now can start looking for a resale hdb flat to buy....hope they dont stupid go cap the loan to value like the car loan.....

do u picnic under mrt track?

no, cos i reach home late. and my rented place is just 3 minutes away.
Plus, nobody to accompany me....go home n lock myself in the room lo

dunoo whether this is a good place for ask for job application. but however,
i will be graduating on 20th May 2013 and I am looking for a job that suits me. I am a mechanical degree holder. would appreciate if anyone here can guide / link me with the company. thanks

Resale flat for HDB route just tighten.
Starting 12 Jan 2013. PR need to pay additional 5% stamp duty. means 500k HDB is 25K.

I am not seeing the price of COV goes down as PR need to complete with Singaporean

There is no such thing as 'cooling measures'. HDB price will keep on going up. Just buy whatever within your reach, like a 3 room apartment, rather that wait and save for a 5 room.

Prices in the mainstream property segment (HDB to private <$1.5M) did not go down at all in 2008-2009, during what was billed as the worst depression in living memory. What makes you think that something as inconsequential as cooling measures will reverse prices? Slow it down a bit, yes... reverse it, no.

Besides being land scarce + immigration friendly, it is also an open market (foreigners can freely buy & sell private property) + safe haven for all Chinese (China, HK & Taiwan Chinese fearing the Communist govt, to overseas Chinese fearing repression from locals in their host countries). It's like the Chinese Israel.

Guys i have a question, I am nearing my graduating soon and would love to work in singapore. As we know most company would at least have recruitment systems that require you to be physically there rather than conventional phone interview (not small company at least). How did you guys manage to risk getting all the way to SG and returning home empty handed?

No so much of a risk returning home empty handed other than a bit of time and $. Some just take bus early in the morning to Sg for interview, after interview take evening bus back. Another alternative is you could crash at a friend place in Sg or JB. It's good to provide them with a Sg contact number, better if have Sg mailing address as well.

so sad meh... no frens meh?

come out yum cha wif us ler...
