Enhancing Convenience -
Revisions to Exit Control Measures Governing National Servicemen |
|
|
|
|
National Servicemen can look forward to more
convenience when they travel overseas with effect from 1 Aug 2006. |
|
The revisions to exit control policies were
recommended by the Fourth Committee to Recognise the Contribution of
Operationally-Ready NSmen to Total Defence (RECORD IV) to enhance
convenience for servicemen when they travel overseas. |
|
These recommendations were accepted by the
Government during the Committee of Supply Debate on 6 March 2006. |
|
Full-time National Servicemen (NSFs) will
henceforth be exempted from applying for exit permits for short overseas
trips of less than 3 months. |
|
Operationally-Ready National Servicemen (NSmen)
will no longer be required to surrender their exit permits upon their
return to Singapore. |
|
NSmen who have completed their
Operationally-Ready National Service (ORNS) training cycle will be
exempted from notifying the MINDEF Notification Centre (MNC) of
their overseas trips. |
|
Full-time National Servicemen (NSFs)
will only be required to apply for an exit permit for overseas
trips of 3 months or longer. This will allow NSFs to go overseas
over the weekend or after office hours without being subjected to
the inconvenience of applying for an exit permit. |
|
Operationally-Ready National Servicemen (NSmen)
issued with exit permits will no longer be required to surrender their exit
permits upon their return to Singapore. MINDEF will use the Immigration and
Checkpoint Authority's Exit-Entry Control Upgraded System (EECUS) to monitor the
return of NSmen. |
|
NSmen who have completed their
Operationally-Ready National Service Training Cycle and have been
phased into the MINDEF Reserve (MR) will no longer be required to
notify the MNC of their overseas trips of more than 24 hours and
less than 6 months. However, they will continue to be subjected to
exit permit controls for overseas trips of 6 months or longer. |
