Singapore passport is about to expire. I'll teach you how to change it by hand.

If your Singapore passport is not valid for 6 months, please renew it as soon as possible and apply for a new passport, so as not to delay your future travel. The various methods of applying for a new passport are summarized as follows:

Route 1: Network

Submit the application form through the Electronic Passport Application System (APPLES) on the website of the Singapore Immigration Bureau (www.ica.gov.sg). Open the home page of ICA, the first column of citizen service or the commonly used electronic application, and click on these two places to fill in the form.

Path 3: Drop Box

There are drop boxes outside the Singapore Immigration Building and on the first, second and third floors. Just throw the completed application form in when you pass by.

Path 4: Electronic Hall

There is a self-service machine in the electronic lobby on the first floor of Singapore Immigration Headquarters, and you can also submit the application form online. The advantage is that if you don't understand anything, you can ask the staff for help on the spot.

When can I get a new passport?

When the new passport is ready, the Immigration Bureau will issue a notice card to collect it. In order to avoid queuing, [mail? Protected], or make an appointment to get your passport online in http://eapposition.ica.gov.sg.

It is strongly recommended to make an appointment to get a passport. Some netizens said after the pro-test: It didn't take 15 minutes before and after, and they got a new passport, which was proper!

In addition, you can also queue up at the entry-exit counter, the iCollect issuing machine in the electronic lobby and the designated new post office (with handling fee) to get a new passport. See if you like it.

Special reminder:

Some people want to postpone the renewal of their passports as much as possible, because they are worried that if they renew their passports too early, the start date of the validity of the new passports will be the application date. In other words, the validity period of the existing passport (usually five years) will be lost. Eat? It has dropped a lot. Actually, it's not necessary Some netizens personally tested that the previous passport 20 15 12 1 expired, and I applied for a new passport about 8 months in advance, showing that the validity period was 2015/kloc-2-202012 65438+.
