Asked by
I'm planning to get my BTO under "HDB Single Scheme" since my wife is a foreigner and I'm just over 35. One issue that makes me worry is the 5-year MOP fulfillment period. My job requires me to travel overseas very often, and each time I will be staying 1-2 months overseas, which can accumulate to around 5 months not in Singapore every year. Will this affect my MOP fulfillment, and will I still be able to sell my HDB flat after 5 years? If not, what is the minimum number of days which I will need to stay in Singapore each year, in order to fulfill my MOP? Thanks in advance!

Dear sir/mdm,

As long as you are the primary occupant to the apartment when you are in Singapore, without renting out the entire apartment, your MOP will not be affected.

When getting a BTO, it is also important to note that you are not only obligated to meet the MOP, but during the construction phase of average 3-4 years, you are also not allowed to own any private residential properties (including offshore units).

Thank you.

Hi,

1) You are eligible for 2-rm BTO under Non-Citizen Spouse Scheme.
2) MOP is not affected since you are just away for a short period due to work every year.
3) This is a common trend for most SC whose company is a regional office, thus the HDB understands the need of being away from the country due to work commitment.
4) Your MOP period will remain the normal 5 yrs as others.

Hope the above answer your main concerns, but if there are more query, please feel free to contact me at 90110636  , or email: ling.ck7@gmail.com if more information is needed.
I'll be glad to assist.

Best regards
