Guide to Terminating NTUC Membership (SG)

Image
Yes, we all fall for that trick of cash rebates and promotions that once you signed up, you kind of forget about why we signed up for it in the first place. It doesn't add value and it all adds up to the monthly expense.  I am writing because the website in no way explained when/where you can terminate the membership even though I've read all the terms and condition on the website. As a warning as long as the card remain active, you still owe them some money for the membership. Non-payment or termination of GIRO does not constitute termination of the membership. You have to personally write them an email or call their hotline. Why am I terminating? Because I am not using it anymore and it's not really beneficial for me. I only go to the grocery store but not go to NTUC member affiliated shops to shop, attend class. I don't fully utilize benefits . The cash rebates will only count on the following year.

How to Apply for a Schengen Visa (in Singapore)

So you've decided to go to Europe. Congratulations! But because you are a citizen of a third world country, you need to apply for a visa.  But fret not! I will teach you the ways and means of applying for a Schengen Visa ( Although I am not a pro, but this is based on my experience on how I applied for one. )  First things first, when do you want to go? What countries do you want to go? Point 1:  Selecting the Visa Center It is important to take note of the countries to go because it would decide where you will apply.  The rule is that: You will apply the visa at the embassy of the member country where you will be staying the longest. If dates are the same, you will need to apply the visa at the embassy of the member country at point of entry.  For my case, I've decided that I would be going around Central Europe ( Netherlands, Switzerland, Italy, Germany ) and I chose to do my visa application at Vfsglobal - The Netherlands.
