Finally Signed the Lease Agreement

Now still have covid-19 measures so the entrance they restrict to one, can only enter from the bus terminal side, then the usual scan and scan stuff. After that take a queue number, a staff is there to assist if not sure what to do, then go up level 3 to a some sort of temporary holding area.

Then didn't have to wait too long, our number was called, after that my parent's number, we went to one counter each, signed a whole bunch of documents.

For me no need to pay any cash, they will deduct 5% from my CPF account, S$15,225.05. For my parents they had to pay S$939.55 cash because they haven't pay the down payment, I think theirs is a special case because they can't use their CPF to pay, so I paid for them. Also they cannot take back the option fee of S$500 today, only when they pay up after they sell current house then can take back, my S$1000 I can take, they will credit to me in 1 month's time. By the way parent is 2-room, mine is 3-room.

So now just wait for flat construction to complete.

Hi, I selected in May 2019. I think probably there's quite a lot of backlog from last year so it may take longer than usual for HDB to contact you.

Wow did not know my wordpress ID cannot sign in here anymore

Congrats bro. Haha i almost could have been your neighbor.

I got offered Tengah BTO (Garden Vines, Plantation Grange and Plantation privilege ).. In the end I turn down and got a resale which is near my parents.

Interestingly i managed to just make it pulling all resources together. But Resale got almost double the grants i get from BTO if not i wont be able to pull it off.

But i have to admit. now i have to contend with decaying lease problem (typucal SG woes) .. but still ok.. at least got roof over our heads.plus i need the house ASAP.. . hwhhww

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

How to Marry a Thai in Singapore

You should refer to here -  https://www.rom.gov.sg/reg_info/rom_marriage.asp Please spend some time to go through and understand the information on that section (legal provision, other information, filing of notice, solemnization and etc), if your still not sure, feel free to drop a comment here or you can use their FAQ . 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
