If there are changes to the flat owners' citizenship (Singapore citizenship or Singapore Permanent Resident status), their eligibility to continue to own the flat will be reviewed.

If the flat owners cannot retain the flat, they will need to dispose the flat in the open market. This is provided they have completed the minimum occupation period (MOP) as at the point of change of their citizenship. The seller’s eligibility to resell the flat is subject to the resale policy at the time of application.

If the occupation period for the flat has not been completed, HDB will acquire the flat and compensate the owners at a price determined by HDB.
