It a period of 1 year - (cooling period)
example -
1) open booking - feb 2022
You been invited to choose a flat
(if flat selection not available by the time your Queue No. = “No Count”)
if as your Queue No is the range of flat available.
Let say Tampines 30 flat you are no.20 but you didn’t attend the flat selection = count as 1st count 1st timer
2) SBF - May 2022
You been invited for flat selection too
Flat available: 40, you are no.25, BUT you didn’t attend to it again = 2nd count 1st timer
your next exercise:
3) Open booking (August 2022), you are
Counted as 2nd timer applicant till August Open booking 2023
(Note: But I unsure of how they count if you are invited for August/Nov 2022 & Feb/May 2023 flat selection but you didn’t choose it)
SBF Nov 2023 - you are back to 1st timer 1st count (reset after 1 year) that what HDB officer explain to me
correct me if there a better good explanation of 1st timer & 2nd timer explanation
