Embassy of the Republic of Singapore in Seoul

Renewal or Transfer of Re-Entry Permit

Learn more about renewing or transferring your Re-Entry Permit (REP) through the Embassy or ICA’s eServices, required documents, fees, and the collection process for your electronic REP.

Last updated 5 January 2026

The Embassy will assist you to forward your application for renewal or transfer of Re-entry Permit (REP) to the Singapore Immigration & Checkpoints Authority (ICA), which is the processing authority.

Alternatively, Singapore Permanent Residents (SPRs) can apply, renew or transfer their Re-Entry Permit online through ICA’s eServices (https://www.ica.gov.sg/reside/PR/apply-REP) with a SingPass account before the expiry date of current REP. The applications can be processed within one day if the applicants are in Singapore. For SPRs who are currently not in Singapore, the outcome of the applications will be made known to the applicants within 5 working days. For more details on application for SingPass, please visit https://www.singpass.gov.sg/main/.

Please note that ICA has ceased the practice of stamping the REP in the passport. Instead, an electronic Re-Entry Permit (Form 7) will be issued.

If you wish to submit your application through the Embassy, please appear in person with the following documents.
