With effect from 4 March 2024, Immigration & Checkpoints Authority (ICA) is replacing previous submission for application of the Renunciation of Singapore Permanent Residence via Mission or at ICA Building, with an online application channel. For more details, please visit ICA website at https://www.ica.gov.sg/enter-transit-depart/more-information/for-permanent-residents/renunciation-of-permanent-residence for online procedures.
