Kena one warning letter about 3yrs ago.. go malaysia for 2-3 days, 3 times never notify.. they list out the date at which you're recorded not in the country...

 

From then on until now, at least 4-5 more times i never notify.. so far no letter yet..

This part is another pain in the butt. Every year I get 2 or 3 times manning, 2 to 3 weeks at a stretch. Last time they say during manning, you can carry on life as normal, just inform both MINDEF and unit when you are going overseas. Don't know which smart aleck says now you must "seek approval" from unit before going overseas. Waste of time. :angry:

If I can remember correctly:

 

1st time warning

2nd time $100

3rd time $200 0r $250...

 

Please do remember, not worth paying the fines.

 

MINDEF's follow up can be fast or even take up to 6 months.

 

Good Lu

Whats stopping you from not applying exit permit? just a question.

 

I am on exit permit, made application & it took a week before they reply. I had some query after the reply, (basically I wanted 3 years, but they give only one year), so I make a phone call, & got a reply, professional & no fuss. Anyway, he said normally it is one year, but can renew.

 

Just an email only, with supporting documents. I send my employment letter & explain in email the details.

 

Also from my personal experience, SAF are pretty forgiving, even if you forgot, missed deadline, or make some error, as long as you inform them (before they send charge letter,warning letter, or catch you on the spot) , it is usually ok. key thing is not to sound aggressive.

 

Also, I have sometimes (ok, quite often), forgot to notify I am oversea. When you remember, just apply from the very day you apply, even if you are already oversea. no problem.

I think they used to be not link. last time, I got sms to remind me to take IPPT, when I was working in U.K, when I clearly stated (under notify going oversea)the period I was oversea.

 

but now I think they sync. I stop having recall manning, as well as ippt, 6 ICT notices. Maybe that has to do with now I am on exit permit & not oversea notification. Maybe only exist permit are link, since oversea notification is usually on short trip, so they take it easy & do not bother inform the respective units.

hope so lah, hope nowadays not so strict, its really an honest mistake, hope I can move on.

 

was wondering how come not automated one? so primitive, MINDEF cannot coordinate with immigration system meh?

 

Hmm if not activated should be ok, but if suay suay tio activated when you overseas and you never notify, MP will come see u liao [laugh]

the problem is the system in mindef is actually most up to date.............whereas unit information can be ready ready outdated..............depending on who is working in the unit............last time every year go back ICT also asked to update personal details...........every year also see the same old details...........3 years after i gave up my pager and my pager number still there...............

 

now is IT era............why can't they just link it up..............

I received a green certificate saying that I am exempted from the duty to apply for exit permit. So do I need to notify mindef when I go overseas less than 6 months?
