Electronic Re-Entry Permit (eREP) w.e.f. 2 January 2009
With effect from 2 January 2009, Singapore Permanent Residents (SPRs) can renew or transfer their Re-Entry Permit (REP) online viz the Electronic Re-Entry Permit or e-REP in short. The e-REP allows quick online transactions aimed at reducing the need for SPRs to physically appear at the Singapore Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA) Building to transfer or renew their REPs.
With the launch of e-REP, ICA will cease to issue REP in the form of endorsements or REP cards for all REP applications approved on/after 2 January 2009.
All SPRs, holding valid REPs and issued with SingPass accounts, can apply to renew or transfer their REPs through e-REP. Those who do not have SingPass or whose REPs have expired will have to submit their REP applications personally at the Permanent Resident Services Centre (PRSC), 5th storey, ICA Building or through an Overseas Mission closest to where the SPR resides.
Singapore Citizens or SPRs who have SingPass accounts, can also use e-REP to submit REP renewal applications on behalf of their spouse and children. All renewal of REP will be capped at a maximum of 5 years.
