i don't know about your camp's system but for me our leave are applied by the admin clerk. must indicate to them it's overseas leave. even saturday and sunday also counted as your leave and will be deducted accordingly.

make sure your passport is not expired. more then 24hr less than 6 mths trip pls apply oversea notifications. anything more than 6mths pls apply exit permit. oversea leave ARE to apply from ur admin/leave clerk. pls make sure leave is approved before u leave for your oversea leave. and make sure IS OVERSEAS LEAVE.

I thought they relaxed the exit control for NSFs last year?
"Giving an update in Parliament during the Mindef budget debate, Dr Ng said the Ministry has agreed to relax exit control measures for full-time national servicemen. Currently, they are required to apply for an Exit Permit whenever they travel overseas, regardless of the trip duration. With the change, they will be required to apply for Exit Permits only for overseas trips of 3 months or more."

To T/S: Actually, your S1 office shall be able to do everything for you. The previous system, unless things haven't changed, allowed servicemen to apply for EPs at the unit itself. So just inform your clerk that you're going overseas on your block leave, & let him process your applications accordingly.
If you do obtain an EP, don't lose it cuz must surrender it upon your return. If you're only required to provide "overseas notification" details, then prepare to submit certain info (travel destinations, return/departure dates, overseas contact numbers, etc.).
Separately, you must tell your immediate commander of your plans too.
With passports, most countries require they have minimum 6 months' remaining validity (i.e. beyond either your departure date, or intended date of entry, or its stated expiration date) or else they won't let you in. Same goes if you're a civilian. So make sure yours is updated. -
some people do that because they don't want their leave to be deduted because of weekends which fall in between the period of leave they take.Originally posted by martin_lim85:np. btw alot of ppl makes mistake by going overseas by applying 'local'(wrong type of leave) leave which is wrong cos if unlucky got recall/mob and info get wrong. unit must answer to upper level. -
Apply leave, once approved then can book holiday and apply exit permit...

Yeah, the ICA Building is next door to Lavender MRT station. The passport section is on the second floor, if you wanna go down. Applying online or by post cost $10 less (at $70), if I'm correct.
BTW Their possessing time is 3 days, from the date of application. -
anyway if ur unit is a 5-day work week unit, applying leave on weekend will NOT be minus away from ur annual leave
