This is one of the method to withdraw your EPF as I found out later that KWSP actually offers other means of withdrawal. I'll share how I did mine.
- Use borang K to update an existing bank account that were previously opened before renunciation of Malaysia citizenship. This is to change the NRIC from the Malaysia NRIC number to Singapore passport and/or Singapore NRIC number
- What to bring
- Singapore passport
- Singapore passport photocopy
- Updating of bank account information will take 3 days for CIMB, so I had to take another trip to Malaysia just to go to KWSP and not able to do it all in one single day
Once the bank account information is updated
- Get a printout from the bank of the latest bank account information with the updated Singapore passport number and/or Singapore NRIC number.
- What to bring
- Singapore passport
- Singapore passport photocopy
- Borang K
- Borang K photocopy
- Bank account information printout with the newly updated NRIC number
- Form to fill up to withdraw EPF is "KWSP 9K (AHL)" and also a form to change Malaysia NRIC to Singapore NRIC number. I forgot to jot down the form number as everything happened in a hurry because it was near their knock off hours. The person attended my case forgot to get me to change my NRIC and phone me after I left KWSP. Luckily I wasn't very far away.
- If you have a Malaysia mobile phone number, KWSP will SMS you when your funds are transferred to your bank account. This process will take about 3-4 weeks.
