Non-Citizens
Second Generation Permanent Residents are required to go
through compulsory full-time national service as well as reservist
duties after they have completed their full-time national service
and turns operationally-ready.
After completing full-time national service, they are eligible to
apply for Singapore citizenship. However, citizenship is not
guaranteed for all applicants, as there are certain criteria that
must be met such as educational qualifications and income
qualifications. From 2006 to 2010, about 2% of 3,000 Second
Generation Permanent Residents who completed full-time national
service and applied for Singapore citizenship were rejected.
If the person does not hold Singapore citizenship but still holds
Singapore permanent residency, he is still required to serve the
service requirement, i.e. reservist duties after he turns
operationally-ready.
Singapore Permanent Residents who served national service but
did not acquire Singapore citizenship will be treated equally to
those permanent residents without service obligation; they would
not have access to the privileges granted to Singapore
citizens.

National Service Liability
Under the Enlistment Act, all male Singapore Citizens and Permanent
Residents, unless exempted, are liable to register for National Service
(NS). Following the completion of full-time NS, they will be required to
serve up to 40 days of Operationally Ready National Service (ORNS) per
year for the duration of their ORNS training cycle till the age of 50
years (for officers) or 40 years (for other ranks).
Main applicants who are granted PR status under the
Professionals/Technical Personnel and Skilled Workers (PTS) Scheme or
the Investor Scheme are exempted from NS. Male children who are granted
PR status under their parents' sponsorship are liable for NS under the
Enlistment Act. They are required to register for NS upon reaching 16½
years old and will be scheduled for enlistment at the earliest
opportunity upon reaching 18 years old. If they are pursuing full-time
studies, deferment from full-time NS may be granted only if they meet
the deferment conditions stipulated by the Ministry of Defence which can
be found at www.ns.sg. All
NS-liable males aged 13 years old and above, are required to obtain an
Exit Permit (EP) when travelling overseas for 3 months or more.
NS-liable PRs are expected to serve NS. Renouncing or losing one's PR
status without serving or completing full-time NS would have an adverse
impact on any immediate or future applications to work or study in
Singapore, or for Singapore citizenship or PR status.
Males who are granted Singapore PR, and who were previously Singapore
Citizens or Singapore Permanent Residents, are liable to be called up
for NS regardless of the type of PR status they have been granted. For
