Singapore PR Disadvantages

If you have a son who is under the age of 18 and also a PR holder, he will be required to complete his national service by serving in the military, civil defence or police force for 2 years when he turns 18.

Subsequent to the 2 years of national service, he will need to attend 40 days of Operationally Ready National Service every year until he completes 10 cycles of re-service.

However, if your son chooses to give up his PR status, he will not be required perform the 2 years of national service.
