Buying a Resale HDB Flat - Register of Intent to Buy


One of the first step to buying a house in Singapore is to register your intent to buy. You have to go to the resale portal to submit your intent.

You need to fill up the details such as buyer information. You will also be asked who are the buyers and who are the occupiers of the house(if any). Be armed with the knowledge of your gross monthly income for the past 3 months (excluding the current month), gross monthly does not include bonuses and overtime as stated on  website and below:




You can skip occupier if you do not have anyone to include.  If your income is below ceiling S$6,000, you need to state how much is the basic salary (for a month) for the past 12 months. If your gross monthly income exceeds S$6,000, you're not obliged to answer Q3 and Q4.


Also, if you do put an occupier, you need to know the details such as :
  • The monthly income ( 6 months if no CPF contributions, 3 months if they have). 
  • The NRIC/FIN , date of issue, and date of expiry. 
  • Relationship to the buyer
I need to do a do over because I have submitted one with bonuses (which I should not have indicated as gross monthly excludes bonus). There's no need to pay S$10 for registration fee. ( I thought there's one).

Next Step is to also furnish a copy of HLE (They will keep the draft for a period of time). As of May 10 2023, new changes has been implemented to HLE. HLE will now be known as HFE

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. The link points redemption (and can only be redeemed in

As I was rummaging through my files, I've noticed that I've forgotten to write about visa application to Canada as a tourist. Being a passport holder from a third-world country, I have to present documents to show that I am indeed going to go to that country just for the holidays. I also need to show them that I have the intention of going back to our home country after the holidays. People can thank their lucky stars for being born in a first world country. The number of countries to travel are infinite, provided that you have the financial means to do so.                             So, what are the requirements to apply for a tourist visa in Canada ( for people living in Singapore): 1.

How to Apply for a Schengen Visa (in Singapore)

Image
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.
