Singapore Citizenship Journey( Part 1)

Singapore Citizenship Journey( part 1)
* disclaimer for links as they might have been moved to a new site

It has been almost 18 years since i have resided in this country which i have considered as my first home. So, you will be wondering, why now only did i decide to convert? The answer is probably timing and also laziness. It is definitely not because of the intention of buying a property as DK and i have settled since 7 years go. ( both of us have been residing here since 18 years ago).

Step 1: What is the first thing you should do once you have decided?
Apply and fill in the forms
Refer to this link

Step 2:
Get an appointment for an interview

Step 3:
Wait for "the letter".This is the easiest and probably difficult for some applicants as they don't like to be a limbo situation.
The interviewee probably will tell you that the timeline to expect would be around half to one year.

Step 4:
You got a mail! So now, you are being offered the citizenship but DO NOT renounce your original citizenship yet. You are expected to go through the Singapore Citizenship Journey.

SCJ: expected timeline will be around 2- 3 weeks depending on how fast you complete the 3 main sessions and also the survey.

Step 5:
Repeat Step 3....wait again.
Once you have received "the letter" to inform you are now accepted as a Singapore citizen,
 you can now start preparing to renounce your original citizenship.
