All About Pri 1 Registration for Foreigners & Phase 3

[lanesbalik]

Dear all,


I am a foreigner holding an EP (Employment Pass).
I have a son 6th years old and he’s holding dependent pass.

Understand that for foreigners, we are only have 1 shot registration day which is 30th of August if don’t mistaken.
We are living at Ang Mo Kio.

I do have a few questions as below:
1. How do i know that there is available seat in Phase 3 (30 Aug) ?
2. During registration, should i bring my son together? because my son is still in overseas now.
3. Is there any further assessment / acceptance test for my son?
4. How much is the admission fee?

Pardon me for i have a limited knowledge on this registration process.
Thank you very much.

Best regards,
Lanes

I have a daughter ready for P1 registration next year. Currently we're foreigners (expats) who just arrived into this country.


From reading the newbie posts, I see most instructions for P1 registration are for citizens and PRs.

How does the registration process for foreigners work? Yes, I see the priority for foreigners are last. But what is the process? timeline/schedule?

Also, I see from here http://www.guidemesingapore.com/permanent-residence/singapore-pr-pros-and-cons.htm that I can apply for PR six months from now, and possibly get PR next year. But that may already be too late for my daughter's P1 registration.

Is anyone or has anyone been in this same situation? Any advice?
