Renunciation of Singapore Permanent Residence
A Permanent Resident (PR) of Singapore may choose to renounce his/her PR status if he/she intends to relocate or leave Singapore permanently.
[Note: A PR who has lost his/her PR status by remaining outside of Singapore without a valid Re-Entry Permit (REP), is not required to apply for renunciation of PR. If you require a verification to prove you are no longer a Singapore PR, you may request for a letter via the online request form.]
If a main applicant is to renounce his/her PR status, then all the dependants (spouse and children below 20 years old) who had obtained the status under his/her sponsorship are required to renounce together. For a child who had obtained PR under the parent's sponsorship but is above 21 years old, a separate application by the child himself/herself is required he he/she intends to renounce PR.
