What happens to my CPF account if I am no longer a Singapore Citizen or Permanent Resident?
Your CPF account will be closed and your CPF savings will be transferred to your bank account if you are no longer a Singapore Citizen or Permanent Resident, as the CPF system is intended to help Singapore Citizens and Permanent Residents retire with peace of mind in Singapore. To transfer your CPF savings, please submit the account closure form.
If you are currently holding onto a pass or permit that enables employment or long term stay in Singapore, your CPF account can only be closed after the legislative changes are made by end of 2023. You may submit your account closure form from January 2024.
