within 42 days

Ari registered Arya's birth in Gleneagles hospital in his second day (once Ari and I finished debating about his name). We got his birth certificate right away. However the process was not finished. Arya need to have a certain status in Singapore within 42 days otherwise Ari will be put in jail plus additional $2000 fine. First of all, Arya need to have a passport. To get a passport, we need to report his birth in Indonesian embassy. You know what!! We need to bring 2 witnesses. Luckily my mom and my cousin were here. It took 3 working days to process, after that we apply for his passport. there was requirement to provide photos. Ari didn't read the instruction carefully. So we tried to take Arya's pics when he was awake. After lots of tears, we got decent pictures however it was rejected.


We need to go to a photo studio in Orchard to have it done. It took 5 working days to process Arya's passport.
Once we had his passport, we need to go to ICA (Immigration & Checkpoints Authority) in Kallang Rd to apply for permanent residence.
We had to bring Arya. ICA is always so crowded. We had to wait for almost 2 hours. The good thing in ICA, they provide nursing room in each floor. I nurse Arya twice while we're waiting. In nursing room, I met other mom&baby. Arya is bigger compare to his peer. Good milk!!!
After showing Arya to the officer, Ari brought Arya home and I was finishing the paperwork.
It took 3 working days to process his PR. Arya is a Singapore PR now and as consequences, he is liable to be called for national service when he's 18 yrs old.
