Posted this a while ago but didn't much responses. Anyone do this before? I want to backpack for a year plus after uni and wonder how I should get around the exit permit policy. I asked the official people but they need my IC and personal info. -_-
just go ns.sg, click apply exit perm after you finish your Uni. But it put down as staying overseas.
There are people who stay overseas and never come back to Singapore, And they dont even have a house in Singapore. So you can put down as working overseas or extension of school or whatever. Nobody bothers one.
The idea of exit perm is to do a headcount on how many people are deployable when needed or during a mock call up.
It is not uncommon that people dont come back to singapore after studying overseas. Gendaken is one. Ask him
But sometimes they check right? Hmmm
I'm going to travel for a year, then go get my phd. So I'm be overseas till I'm around 30. Hahaha... Will they still call up after?
