If you are still working in sg, you cant take, only January.  Process is about 1 month.

You can withdrawal full amount if not working.

My friend use to be a PR, but now no more, so he went to check and was told only can withdraw in JAN since all non-PR cpf accounts will be closed in December. Can withdraw immediately if not working in spore

you didn't answer the question.

did they contact you directly to close or given you a deadline?

or you just went to process it yourself with your own initiative?

means own initiative. thanks.

so has the interest stopped currently or there's a cut off date?

i try to do it via singapore embassy in Malaysia. will update here.

they told my friend
first step is to renounce your citizenship.
second step then only withdraw CPF (after 6-8 weeks)

I apply online, 6 weeks later, officer send email to go down to singapore (since KL singapore embassy full slot until Oct)

I went to CPF to close the account. lesson learnt, alway make appoint before go. my episone, CPF officer was kind to me to grant me a visit.

officer said, need to wait for 6 weeks (alamak). I opted for direct bank in to my singapore acc.

now my next quest if I hijack the thread a bit, how do transfer this money to malaysia bank.

Everyone know banks fees is cut throat. others like wise, remitly, etc. what is your experience ?

we are talking about CPF saving in 5 figures and more. taking out by cash is not possible. Johor custom clearly stated max MYR 25k or equi.

how do we know online rate of CIMB for comparisons. not sure CIMB offer rater on the fly.

WISE offer online guarantee 48hours hedge rate ON THE FLY, WITH option to bank in malaysia bank account or duitnow ID.

the other closest competition (or better) to WISE is SINGX, but not for malaysian.

hi,

Want to enquire..if want to withdraw cpf money to be deposited (online) to cimb sg account, can apply to withdraw by just completing the online form in cpf website https://form.gov.sg/63573e845cfdb20012171772 (seems like money be sent by cheque in sgd to home address).

Am i on right track or am missing anything esle. tqvm.

p/s cpf didn't reply to my queries (3 times submit thru 'Write To Us' alrdy).

i dont really get ur meaning...the online filling up  (for Malaysian only that states to receive money by CHEQUE) didn't say anything abt having forms, etc certified by Embassy...u mean after filling up the form online, cpf will sent another set of forms to be filled up, then certified by Embassy..(then money can be transfered by cpf to cimb.sg?..need to be sure before i press submit)...tqvm

Hi all,

i have been following this thread for a while and i did my submission yesterday at CPF Maxwell Service Centre, would like to share my experience here for benefits of all.

14 June - I filled up and submitted online form for account closure for Malaysian
19 June - I received email reply from CPF, telling me they need to verify my identity in order for them to process my account closure. i am given 2 options 1. filled up form and have all supporting docs verified by Singapore Overseas Mission then mail all the docs to CPF in Singapore for their processing 2. Present at CPF Maxwell Service Centre to submit all docs for their processing.
26 Jun - Manage to make online appointment on 10 Jul at CPF Maxwell Service Centre
10 Jul - Present at CPF Maxwell Service Centre to submit all required docs

CPF Officer informed me they need 14 weeks to process the account closure and another 2 weeks to process TT payment to my Malaysia bank account. In case of any issues they will contact me so now just sit and wait for 16 weeks (4 months).

IMPO as long as REP expired and never go back to Spore to work, then PR status would auto lapse  according to REP status

do you still declare this in BE Form, and LHDN allows to deduct  the total amount? or just keep silence.

Good question. Because compulsory CPF was not taxable w.r.t. IRAS 

what i did:

booked appointment at singapore embassy.. think waiting time is just a few days.
then submit all REP / blue IC / malaysia IC and a letter saying you would like to revoke your PR (with the day you submit, plus your mobile number, email address).
then wait for 8 weeks.
they shall send an official letter from ICA  or you can do self-pickup.
then only do CPF withdrawal.

this is the process told by SG embassy at KL.

If you don't need the money might as well just wait till they auto close and transfer to your bank account.

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)

I m planning to go down to SG to process everything.

Do I still need to submit it online form before going down? or just skip and direct go down to sg?

Ya, I see their website got "make an appointment".

Appointment backlogged?

Today book for few month advance for appointment? Got so bad?

Tomorrow I going down. See got time to check it out. Or maybe check with my colleague there.
