CorpTrust Applauds ICA's New e-System for Streamlining Singapore PR and Citizenship Applications

  • Written by Daily Sun

Introduced on 26 June 2024 without prior announcement, this new system is accessible through the ICA e-services portal and is set to revolutionise the application process for Singapore PR and citizenship.

The new e-system integrates the previously separate PR, citizenship, and long-term visit pass application portals into a unified platform. This change is expected to simplify the process for applicants, particularly families, who can now submit multiple applications simultaneously. For instance, a family with a Singapore citizen and a newborn requiring both a long-term visit pass and citizenship can now complete both applications through the same portal.

Key features of the new e-system include:

  • Unified Application Process: The user interface and experience for PR and citizenship applications have been standardised, enhancing usability and consistency.
  • Common Data Set: Applicants must now provide a comprehensive data set for each person in the application.
  • Simplified Document Submission: Form 4A, a staple of the PR process for over 20 years, is no longer required. Instead, all details are entered directly into the e-system.
  • Additional Information Requirements: Applicants must now provide previous passport records, spouse employment history, and more detailed information about family members.
  • Elimination of Certain Documents: Annex A to Form 4A and declarations, now handled electronically, are no longer required. However, home country ID cards and household registers must now be submitted.
  • Alternative Principal Applicant: A new feature allows families to nominate an alternative principal applicant. If the primary applicant is unsuccessful, ICA will evaluate the alternate applicant, simplifying the decision-making process for families.
  • Supplementary Document Submission: The new portal provides sections for uploading supplementary documents, enabling applicants to strengthen their applications with additional relevant information.
