Step-by-Step Procedure

Select the Correct ICA Service

Choose the specific e-Service for entry visa, PR, REP, citizenship, passport, Student's Pass, LTVP or another immigration service.

Check the Applicable Fee

Confirm whether the fee is charged at submission, approval/completion, or both.

Submit Supporting Documents

Provide the documents required for the particular application category. Avoid assuming that one document checklist applies to every ICA service.

Pay the Application Fee

Pay the applicable application fee using the payment methods available for that ICA service.

Wait for Assessment

Processing periods vary substantially by service: PR, REP, citizenship, Student's Pass and entry visa applications have different published processing times.

Complete Formalities if Approved

Where applicable, pay completion fees such as the PR Entry Permit, REP, Singapore Identity Card, citizenship certificate or Student's Pass issuance fee.

Keep the Immigration Document Valid

Track REP expiry, passport expiry, Student's Pass validity and other document dates separately.

Entry Visa

Fee

S$30 non-refundable processing fee per visa application.

Payment

For online individual visa applications, payment is made using the accepted online payment methods.

Filing Window

Applicants are advised to apply for an entry visa within 30 days before arrival.

Processing

Visa applications are generally processed within 3 working days excluding the submission day, although some applications may take longer.

Channel

Depending on nationality and application type, applications are submitted through the relevant Singapore Overseas Mission, authorised visa agent, strategic partner or eligible local contact.

Important Point

The S$30 fee is the ICA visa-processing fee. It is not necessarily the total amount a traveller pays an agent, because an authorised intermediary may charge a separate service fee.

Permanent Residence

Application Fee

S$100 per applicant.

Successful Applicant Fees

Entry Permit

S$20

Five Year Rep

S$50

Singapore Identity Card

S$50

Minimum Standard Successful Total

S$220 when all three listed completion fees apply: S$100 application + S$20 Entry Permit + S$50 5-year REP + S$50 Singapore Identity Card.

Important Correction

The PR total is not S$200. The S$20 Entry Permit fee must be included in the successful-applicant calculation.

Processing Time

ICA states that PR applications are generally processed within 6 months when all required documents are submitted and in order. Some applications can take longer.

Payment Timing

The S$100 application fee is paid at submission. The completion fees are paid by successful applicants during completion of formalities.

Non Refundable

ICA states that PR application and completion fees are non-refundable.

Re Entry Permit

Annual Rate

S$10 per year or part thereof of approved REP validity.

Five Year Example

A 5-year REP costs S$50.

Validity

The approved REP duration is determined under ICA's REP rules; do not assume every renewal is automatically for exactly 5 years.

Renewal Timing

ICA advises PRs to submit an REP application at least 2 months before the current REP expires.

Payment Deadline

For online applications, the approved REP fee must be paid within 14 days of the approval date or the application will be withdrawn.

Processing Time

ICA states that REP applications are generally processed within 1 week excluding the submission day, although some cases take longer.

Important Point

The REP is the travel/residency-permission mechanism for PRs travelling outside Singapore and does not itself confer PR status.

Citizenship

Standard Adult Pr Route

Application Fee

S$100

Certificate Fee

S$70

Identity Card Fee

S$10 for new citizens aged 15 and above

Common Total

S$180 for a successful new citizen aged 15 or above under the standard adult-PR route.

Overseas Born Child Special Category

S$10 for new citizens aged 15 and above.

Other Child Route

Application Fee

S$100

Certificate Fee

S$70

Identity Card Fee

S$10 for new citizens aged 15 and above.

Important Correction

Citizenship does not always have a single universal S$100-plus-S$70-plus-S$10 outcome. The fee depends on the applicant category. The standard adult PR route is S$100 at submission, followed by S$70 for the Citizenship Certificate and S$10 for the IC for new citizens aged 15 and above.

Processing

Citizenship processing times differ by category and are not part of the fee schedule.

Passport

Online

S$70.

Over Counter

S$80.

Who Can Apply

A Singapore passport is issued to Singapore citizens. A PR or foreign national does not apply for a Singapore passport merely because they hold PR or an ICA pass.

Application Channel

Singapore citizens residing in Singapore can apply online through ICA's e-Service. Citizens overseas can apply online or through a Singapore Overseas Mission as applicable.

Important Correction

Passport fees are separate from PR, citizenship and visa fees and are not an immigration-pass fee.

First Loss

S$50 in addition to the prevailing passport fee.

Subsequent Loss

Ltvp

Application

S$45.

Issuance

S$60.

Multiple Journey Visa

S$30 if applicable.

Common Total

S$105 without the additional Multiple Journey Visa fee, or S$135 when the S$30 fee applies.

American Express.
Internet Direct Debit through supported Singapore banks.
PayNow.

Passport Counter

Visa or Mastercard.
NETS where supported.
Mobile payment methods such as Apple Pay, Samsung Pay and Google Pay where accepted.

Important Correction

It is inaccurate to state that every ICA fee must be paid through MyICA. The payment method and portal depend on the particular ICA service.

Refund Rules

General

ICA states that the listed PR, citizenship, REP and relevant application fees are non-refundable.

Visa

The S$30 Singapore entry-visa processing fee is non-refundable.

Student Pass

The Student's Pass application fee is non-refundable.

Important Point

Do not convert these service-specific rules into a universal statement covering every possible ICA transaction.

Late And Renewal Rules

Rep

PRs should submit REP renewal at least 2 months before the current REP expires.

Expired Rep

Do not publish a generic 'late processing fee' without identifying the applicable ICA rule. The more serious issue can be loss of REP validity and consequences for PR status.

Passport

Passport renewal/replacement has separate loss/damage penalties.

Student Pass

Student's Pass renewal has its own filing window and should not be mixed with REP rules.

Practical Checklist

For entry visas, budget S$30 and any separate authorised-agent service fee.
For PR, budget S$100 at submission and S$220 total in the standard successful case where all listed completion fees apply.
For REP, calculate S$10 per year or part thereof of approved validity.
For citizenship, identify the applicant category before quoting the total fee.
For passports, use S$70 online or S$80 over the counter.
For Student's Pass, budget S$45 application + S$60 issuance and S$30 MJV only if applicable.
For LTVP, budget S$45 application + S$60 issuance and S$30 MJV only if applicable.
Do not treat an agent service charge as an ICA government fee.
Do not treat visa validity as Visit Pass duration.
Track REP expiry separately from PR status.
Track passport expiry separately from citizenship status.
Use the payment channel shown by the specific ICA e-Service.
Check ICA's current fee page immediately before paying because administrative fees can change.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

The PR application fee is S$100 per applicant. For a successful standard applicant, ICA currently lists S$20 for the Entry Permit, S$50 for a 5-year Re-Entry Permit and S$50 for the Singapore Identity Card. Where all those completion fees apply, the total is S$220 including the S$100 application fee.

ICA charges S$10 for every year or part thereof of approved REP validity. Therefore, a 5-year REP costs S$50. The actual approved validity is determined under ICA's REP rules and should not be assumed to be 5 years in every case.

For the standard adult permanent-resident citizenship route, the application fee is S$100. A successful applicant then pays S$70 for the Singapore Citizenship Certificate and, for a new citizen aged 15 or above, S$10 for the Singapore Identity Card. Certain child application categories have different fees.

A Singapore passport costs S$70 when the application is submitted online and S$80 when submitted over the counter at an ICA Services Centre or Singapore Overseas Mission. Only Singapore citizens can apply for a Singapore passport.

The Student's Pass application fee is S$45 and the issuance fee is S$60. A S$30 Multiple Journey Visa fee applies if applicable. The common total is therefore S$105 without that additional visa fee or S$135 when it applies.

The relevant ICA application pages generally state that the listed processing fees are non-refundable. The exact refund rule should nevertheless be checked on the specific ICA service because fees and payment arrangements differ between entry visas, PR, citizenship, REP, Student's Pass and other applications.
