SINGAPORE: From January 2, Singapore Permanent Residents can renew or transfer their re-entry permit online via a new service called the Electronic Re-Entry Permit (e-REP).
This means they no longer need to go down personally to the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA) and furnish supporting documents such as income tax assessment.
All that is needed now is the applicant's SingPass to access the online service.
Singapore citizens or permanent residents can also use the service to submit re-entry permit renewal applications on behalf of their spouses and children. All renewals will be capped at a maximum of five years.
The re-entry permit allows a permanent resident to retain his status while travelling abroad.
