Hi, this is a sincere question. My prospective wife(non citizen) will be coming over next year August to study for a masters degree in a local university in Singapore and we planned to buy a resale flat under the non citizen spouse scheme(will get LTVP eventually). I would like to ask at which stage of the process of getting a resale flat would it be necessary to provide proof of marriage when getting a resale flat? Is it possible to enter into an option to buy a resale flat and then subsequently produce the marriage certificate at the end of the 21 days? If yes how late can we do so?(i.e. before getting keys?) Thanks !

Good afternon Weixiang,

As long as when you submit the resale application, both of you are legally married and she has a valid pass then no issue.

Submission of resale application is after you exercise the OTP and when you are going to book for the first appointment.

Hope my explanation helps!

Congrats on your engagement.

Or do I need to produce the proof of marriage at the point of signing the OTP (before exercising it)?

    Thank you very much for your response ! Just a further question. By signing the OTP do you mean exercising the OTP?

    Hi YT Tan, thank you very much for your response. Just a further query based on your response.

    Qn : Do I need to produce the proof of marriage at the point of agreeing upon the option to exercise (before exercising/signing it) or is it ok not to and then have a 21 calendar days window of producing it should I choose to exercise the OTP? Or do I need to produce the proof of marriage at the point of signing the OTP (before exercising it)? This is important as this serves as a proof of having the intention/ability to buy a resale flat prior to marriage for the in-laws

Morning Weixiang,

As you are buying under non-citizen spouse scheme, both of you must have being married prior signing the OTP, which is unlikely Fiance and Fiancée scheme where both are SC and have the intention to get married soon.

Do feel free to contact me for further discussion.
