Already more than 10 weeks I have submitted all documents to cpf in person, till now money still not in and nowhere to check the progress. Cpf really good in getting money but not releasing money.

The worst thing is there is nowhere to check the progress....

Problem is we can't even see whether it is in progress, approved or rejected or whatsoever because no where we can check...CPF really did a bad job on this. Not even a single email is sent to us after we submit the application to confirm everything....

if its still no news, then please email them. they will respond and check if you require to go down. its the same for my case, waited 6 weeks, email them for status, then only CPF said need to go down to singapore. wasting time only for online application.

I am not sure how interest is calculated. do we still earn dividend on the last day of withdrawal, or on the day of closing. if it takes 14 weeks to close, afraid u might lose 14 weeks of dividend. which is quite some money with yield closing 4 %

according to CPF staff, after account closure is done they will calculate and pay the interest year to date before release your CPF.

From what I know, PR doesn't have "expiry date". It's the REP that allows a PR to enter Sgp as PR. If REP expires when you are outside of Sgp, you lose your PR because you can't enter as PR liao.

Does that mean as long as you're in Singapore, you're still a PR if REP expires? I think so, but I stand corrected.

its coming to 6 weeks but I have yet to receive any update, SGD already drop against the MYR.

12 weeks here

Seems so troublesome to request withdrawal.

Wonder if better to just wait until account auto close , then only withdraw.

If wait till auto close will be worse. Your money will be sitting there yielding nothing.

won't transfer automatically.. they will just keep it as dormant.. (no interest).   .. maybe future will hit SGD1 to MYR5... (so no interest pun ok)

IMPO, Spore Gov usually take half a year or more to clear all those services requested  one by one as Spore Gov very strict on documentation transaction on verification

Not purposely going down for CPF. It is a business trip.

Just maybe got time and pass by.

can make an appointment via on line?

Zhun zhun 14 weeks money banked in 😂

I didn't apply for PR and not SG PR. I use MY IC to open CPF acc. So he got to search my acc using MY IC. And I look at him like having difficulty searching.

I ask him if now close the cpf acc and what happen later working back in SG and as PR. He said I got to return back all the money I took out into CPF.

Just check my Sg account, CPF has transferred the money, which was banked in on 11 Sep, apparently earlier than I thought, it only took10 weeks.

Nothing, no email, I just login to POSbank account (DBS digibank Apps) and saw the money inside.

I submitted my application on 30 June in cpf Maxwell centre, the officer said everything is good, and ask me to wait for 3.5 months the money will auto credit to my account.

In your case you may want to follow up again, since yours is already 16 weeks, by the way you requested them to bank in Malaysia account or Singapore Account, that might be different.

anyone knows about PR renewal? since topic has been derailed.. i guess why not derail it further

example my frined has PR due for renewal next year around july . however end of this year he plans to go EUrope for PhD for 2-3 years
so he will be oveerseas for soem time
however he will be paying tax next year because this year he worked, and next year mid year will be due to pay taxes for this year (2023 taxes are to be paid in 2024). but 2024 he will be full time studying hence no tax .

since he is still paying taxes next year, that should work for him right? plus past 5 years he has been paying more than average taxes, in fact id say he is paying top 10% amount or more (e.g his tax per month can pay 2  blue collared workers salary) and he can always return after studies to continue contributing to SG. the only issue is that nowadays everything is computerized, and u cant justify all this to the computer which doesnt give a damn.  he even got some letter of appreciation during pandemic for volunteering during Sg's worst time in the past decade, the COVID 19 pandemic.....

anyone has similar stories of successful renewal?the reason to get PR is so that he can easily find a job after studies. but also heard EP does not need any quota, actually his pay qualifies for EP easily, but worried that EP will be given less preference compared to PR

When should one apply for re-entry renewal before the expiry date?
3 months or 1 month before the date?

did u check what is the 17 weeks interest ?

Anyone used CPF to buy shares/stocks? The shares will be converted to normal shares and stored in CDP account, right?
