Hi,

I am a registered Singapore citizen and I am currently residing in India and have decided to take up Indian citizenship and renounce the Singapore citizenship as I am about to retire and plan to get back my CPF monies for my children education. I was originally from India and had taken up a Singapore citizenship many years back.

My application for Indan citizenship has been approved and I am now asked to submit the “certificate of the renounciation of foreign citizenship” from Singapore before I can get my Indian citizenship certificate.

But I gather that to renounce Singapore citizenship, one is required to submit a copy of the foreign citizenship certificate and foreign passport which I do not have yet.

Now this is a catch-22 situation as I need the renunication certificate to get my new citizenship certificate and the renunciation certificate is issued only upon submission of the new citizenship certificate.

Can anyone please advise, if there is a workaround or if anyone has ever faced or heard of this kind of situation?

Thanks for the help

PS: India also does not allow Dual citizenship at the moment.
