Do I need to do military service to hold a Singapore green card?

The first generation of Singaporean immigrants do not need military service, but if their sons are permanent residents or new immigrants, they need military service. Because it is clearly written in the terms of the military service law; All male citizens have the obligation to participate in the national military service, starting from 1967. Every citizen has the obligation to protect the country, bringing people from different backgrounds and identities together, so that citizens are not discriminated against and everyone is equal. No matter how rich you are, you must do military service. It has become a way of life for Singaporean citizens and an experience for Singaporean male citizens. So Singapore accepts foreigners' naturalization.

If you are a generation of immigrants, you don't have to do military service. Like other Singaporean male immigrants, citizens with dual nationality need to go to military service registration first if they are over 16 and a half years old, and join the army when they are over 18 years old.

According to Singapore's conscription law, all male permanent residents aged 16.5 are obliged to register for military service. After they reach the age of 18, they need to serve for 2 years and return to the army for 40 days every year. This obligation lasts until they are 50 years old (general rank) or 40 years old (other ranks).

First of all, security issues:

There are no natural disasters in Singapore. After completing military service, they will not rush to the front to provide disaster relief, and there is no danger.

Second, the problem of schooling after military service:

Usually when you are in military service, you will get an offer from the university after taking the A-level exam, and the university will keep the offer until you finish military service, so you don't have to worry about not going to college.

Third, comrades are also partners:

During my two years as a soldier, I may make many sincere friends through thick and thin. Many business partners in the future may be comrades-in-arms during their service.

Fourth, military service can hone a person's will:

Military service can temper a person's will and is good for future development.

V welfare benefits during military service:

During military service, the government bears all the food, clothing, housing and transportation, and there are additional subsidies every month.

Six, the basic process of military service:

1, training and personal assignment: training in an island in Singapore for the first three months, and then assigning arms according to individual conditions. Some children who are in poor health may work as civil servants, and the government will comprehensively consider the children's physical quality, personality and other conditions, which is more humane.

2. Dispatch after training: After three months of training, I may be sent to Taiwan Province Province, Thailand, Hainan Island, Malaysia and other places for military service, which will give me a chance to experience life in neighboring countries and gain more knowledge.

3. Serving in the reserve: After completing military service, you should serve in the reserve for about 2 weeks every year. If you have already worked, the company will definitely give you a vacation, during which the salary will be paid as usual and borne by the government. Many people will take this as a small holiday to exercise and catch up with old friends.

Seven, special circumstances of exemption from military service:

Children may be exempted from military service under special circumstances. If the child is disabled, but there must be a medical report from the relevant medical institution; There is also homosexuality, which does not require military service.

Eight, military service time requirements:

Singapore has a tendency to shorten the period of military service. It used to take two and a half years to perform military service, but now it is changed to two years, and it may become one and a half years later. If a child refuses to perform military service, the government will take back his PR status, and the application will be basically unsuccessful in the future. Therefore, applicants should consider carefully.
