Received a call this morning from a lady, sorry line got cut off. Her question was “Can a foreigner who is single purchase a HDB Resale flat?”

The answer is “No”. Single, foreigner or Singapore PR is not allowed to purchase HDB Resale flat even though he/she is above 35 years old. Singapore permanent resident is not “permanent”, subject to approval and Re-Entry permit renewal. Singapore PR is a Foreigner with a PR Status and eligibility in relation to buying HDB Resale has remained unchanged.
