Singapore does not allow for dual citizenship. Foreigners who renounce their own citizenship to become Singaporeans are here either for the long haul to set their roots down or they are here for a few years before renouncing their sg citizenship to be US/ Canadians citizens. Certainly not for something as frivolous as primary 1 registration. Their home country is under no obligation to welcome them back either.
Yes... but there's a small technicality in the Constitution that says no for minors.
If a child is born to parents of different citizenship, the child can hold dual citizenship until the age of 21 years old when the adult (i.e. child) must make a decision on which citizenship to hold and which to renounce. If the adult fails to make a decision, the Government will deprive the child of the Singapore citizenship.
P/S: P1 application deals with the child's citizenship and not the parents'

Hi,
My in laws’ house is within 1km of Rosyth. They are currently living with us n renting out their house. Is it OK to change our address on the nric nearer the date of registration n try to ballot in phase 2c n then move back to their house if balloting is successful? If not successful, we will stay put in current house n register in a neighborhood school under phase 2c sup? -

Do note that under the National Registration Act, it is a felony to change the address of your NRIC to one that you are not currently staying in. Then again, since you own that address, it will be hard to detect. What you are doing is in the grey area.Hi,

Technically, I m really committed to moving back if balloting is successful. I guess will have to check with MOE officially.

how do you feel about 30 month rule ?
this year (2015 : kids born 2009) happen to be a year of very low competition rate.
in Phase 2B :
ACS Junior conduct balloting outside 1 km, instead of the expected less than 1 km trend.
in Phase 2C:
SCGS conduct balloting outside 2 km, instead of the expected less than 1 km past years' trend.

The trend for ACS Junior is balloting for > 2km in Phase 2B and < 1km in Phase 2C. Last year was an exception.how do you feel about 30 month rule ?

ACS J usually goes for balloting but so does ACS P. Except this year, exact no. apply within 1 Km for both phase 2B and 2C for ACS P. So no balloting.

ACS J has 59 applicants for 58 places within 1 km. Last person applied at closing time. I suppose the person thought balloting for 1 in 58 places better than balloting for 1 in 29 places since ACS P and J 1km overlap about 50%.
I think the less competition is there but parents being Kiasu will want to try their luck in a better school if they think they got good chance. -
I think some places will tally with your IC. They will probably raise flags when it’s not indicated?

Just registered with a school at phase 2C. We used a current address (living for 5+ years) which happens to be within 1km of the school, but actually we’re moving into a nearby BTO flat later this year. This new BTO address is apparently between 1km and 2km of the school. Do you think we’ll get into a trouble? This school has no balloting for SC (my child is SC).
No intention to "trick" the system or anything, but just didn’t know all these things like DPD home-distance category priority and the 30 months staying rule (just found out)… Thanks for your advice.
