I am Now a HDB Resale Flat Owner!

Me and wife reached HDB Hub at around 2pm, our appointment was at 3.30pm so we went over to the Courts to take a look, nothing interesting though, we'll probably buy our stuff and Gain City. So 3.25pm, I met my agent friend, he accompanied us to register, the officer called our number at 3.30pm, went in and signed twice, then spent 25 minutes waiting for the seller's representative to bring the keys to us, basket, he said he got stuck at the gantry or something, anyway excluding that I think the process would take no longer than 5 minutes, very fast, that HDB officer damn efficient.

I thought I was going to get a certificate or something, they only gave me 4 pages of paper saying I'm now the owner of XXX address and some rules and regulations and bla bla bla, and to sign up for SP Services account or make payment to town council, I need to provide the letter. Anyway, feels great to have our own place, FINALLY!

Congrats to your new home. Not sure whether for resale flat, are you able to purchase the HDB master policy fire insurance from Etiqa (member of Maybank Group)?. Currently I am paying $8.24 for 5 years coverage (5room). Covers only HDB building, structures, machinery etc..
For internal furnishings etc.. a separate fire insurance is required.

http://www.ica.gov.sg/news_details.aspx?nid=12665 Good news for those of us who cannot get PR for our beloved spouse, because the Singapore government has come up with a enhanced long-term visit pass called LTVP-PLUS or LTVP+. I'll sum up the key points in the FAQ provided by ICA so you don't have to go through one big page. Do let me know if I missed out anything or correction is required by dropping a comment. GENERAL LTVP+ will be in effect from 01 Apr 2012. LTVP+ holders will enjoy extended duration of residency, public healthcare subsidies and easier access to employment. No separate application required for LTVP+; an application for LTVP will automatically include your spouse for LTVP+, if eligible.

Current holders of LTVP will be considered for LTVP+ on next renewal. If holde

The ROM website did a really good job of putting together the information that you need in a well-organized manner. I've done it once and I think the guide is very easy to follow. The only hiccup I've had with my marriage is during the  Appointment for verification & Statutory Declaration where both of us were required to read out a wall of text and my wife had difficulty getting past the first few lines and the counter guy got fed up and told my wife to stop. Definitely my oversight as I didn't arrange for an interpreter beforehand but luckily, there was a licensed interpreter at the scene and we managed to get her to do the interpretation fo
