A recent case shared by my teammate involved a former Singaporean who had been working overseas for years. He decided to renounce his Singapore citizenship ๐๐๐๐จ๐ซ๐ ๐ฌ๐๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ข๐ง๐ ๐ก๐ข๐ฌ ๐๐๐ ๐๐ฅ๐๐ญ.
The result? He was unable to sell the flat on the open market. HDB took over the property and reimbursed him based on the original purchase price, with a portion deducted before the reimbursement.
His flat had originally been purchased for around $๐๐๐,๐๐๐, a price that is very different from todayโs resale market.
๐ก ๐๐ก๐ ๐ค๐๐ฒ ๐ญ๐๐ค๐๐๐ฐ๐๐ฒ: If youโre planning to renounce your Singapore citizenship, make sure you understand what happens to your HDB flat ๐๐๐๐จ๐ซ๐ you make that decision.
In situations like this, timing matters. Always check the latest HDB rules and consider getting professional advice based on your specific circumstances.
