      Hi,


      Following the thread, does anyone has any idea about rental? A friend is thinking of putting her son in SJI is thinking of buying a house near the house and rent out the apartment after that.

      Are there any guidelines surrounding that? Is it something do-able?

      It is more tedious to change your address on your IC now. The police will require some proof. But such proof are not difficult to obtain eg. credit bills/ utilities bill with your name on the address. On the other hand, if you are renting out the place, it's not appropriate to have your address there as mails may get delayed,etc...
      not sure what you mean by

      \"buying a house near the house and rent out the apartment after that.\"

      anyway, with regards to buying a house this is from the moe website

      ==============================================

      Q19: I have purchased a yet-to-be completed property and should be moving in after the property is completed, can I make use of the new home address for the purpose of registration?

      A19: Yes. The new home address can be used provided that you are able to produce evidence from the relevant authority that you have committed to the purchase of this property. In the case of private property, parents must produce the original copy of the Sales and Purchase Agreement. The date of commitment by the developer in T.O.P (Temporary Occupation Permit) must not be later than 31 Dec 2010.In the case of HDB flat, the document issued by the HDB. Parents must move into the new property within two years of the child’s entry into Primary One otherwise the child will be transferred out of the school.


      ===========================================
      what this means is that if you purchase a house near the school you are supposed to move in and not rent it out to someone else.


      as for ic address. you have to produce proof of the address for the dept to change it on your ic. if you don't have proof they will mail you a letter at your new address, you are then supposed to bring that letter back to them and use it as proof of your new address and they will change the address on your IC.


      be careful how you go - trying to 'trick' the system might back fire and your child will suffer the embarrassment of being transferred out.

        Typo error. They are trying to buy a apartment within 1km of the school. Then rent out the house while they still continue to stay in their current flat. Wonder if there are any issues with this.

          read the moe paragraph again. if you buy and use that address for proximity priority, you have to move in within 2 years. Otherwise its contravening the guidelines.

            Hi All!


            My husband and I have different addresses on our IC. Is it necessary to have same address on the ic when registering for primary one? Does any one have such an experience? Please share.

              If you two are staying together, then one of you could be thrown into jail because of the discrepancy. Seriously. The NRIC is supposed to reflect our current place of residence.

              Otherwise, just explain to the school if they ask. Make sure you give the real reason. They should accept it if it is reasonable.

                hee hee Chief.....we are legally married. :lol: But sticker on his IC was torn off due to wear and tear. So neglience on our part. Tried to explain this to the school, but insist to have the current address. This is despite the fact that our girl's BC has our current address! Implication is school will use daddy's address which is more than 2 km. :?


                But MOE website never state both parents address must be the same..... So just trying to find out more or is it the school being particular. 😢

                    Why not quickly go to Immigration to make a new NRIC? They should have your actual address in the records, so it's a matter of getting them to issue you a new NRIC without changing any info. I think it costs about $60 (not sure). Takes less than a couple of hours. Better than losing out on the distance lah... especially if the school you are going for is hot.

                      I thought go to neighbourhood police post will do? Treat it as an update of address, maybe?

                        Hi, Neighbourhood police can help you update the address. They just paste the sticker over it and it sb pretty fast if their system is not down.


                        Probably just explain to them the situation. On the other hand, do bring down documents to prove that your hubby stays in that address. Eg. the PUB bills, credit bills,etc… that shows his name and the address. Make sure it’s recent as this is a new ruling by them before they change your address for you.
