All About Home Addresses

Need some advise. I’m currently staying overseas, I own an HDB flat which is being rented out (got approval). If I wish to join the P1 registration next year, can I rent a unit near to the desired school (which is not the same catchment area of my HDB flat)?

Hi All


Im very new to kiasuparents.com.
I have a question to ask. I am not staying in the address printed out on my IC, how do i register a school for my son?
Should I go to the nearest sch to the address on my ic or the address where I am staying?
There isnt any good sch near to the address on my ic so would like very much to register for schools nearby to where Im putting up. So hw do I go about it? I must infm the sch or produce any documentation for the hse Im living in whc is also our property?
What If the sch i wanted him to be in is away frm where we staying? say more than 2km away?
Please help, im so blur over this…

You should register based on yr address stated in your NRIC. That would determine that you are 1km, 1-2Km or more than 2Km in the school.

I know but read somewhere, you are required to stay in the current hse for at least 2 years to be able to register at a nearby school. We did not meet to that requirement.

That's not true. It is how long you stay at the address AFTER registration that is important. If you plan to be at your current address for more than 3 years, and if you child is staying with you, then you need to change the address on your NRIC immediately.

Thanks Chief!
I'll take note.
Now next step is to know whats the procedure like in each school, whc sch is the best one for him,requires balloting or not,blah blah blah :roll:
so headache..too many things to think about!

[titank]

Just do some analysis like Plan A, Plan B, Plan C etc. One step at a time.

Of course popular school you must be able to determine the odds of winning. Use past balloting history as a guide in doing your analsysis.

Is there any duration guideline that I need to stay in the new address? Or as long as when July registration my house is the new address will do? Meaning in June my IC is changed to the new address.

My friend told me that I need to stay in that property for 1 year prior to registration and too late for me to hunt for a house now. True?
Thanks.
