ICA PR Applications: Overcoming e-PR Submissions
The introduction of the online submission system for Permanent Residency (PR) applications has left doubts in the minds of many applicants. Although moving to digital mediums is convenient in many ways, it can leave some aspects of the application process a bit more ambiguous.

Ultimately, the team at IASG are able to address all concerns inherent to this new process with our 20 years of combined experience within the Singapore immigration sector. If you have any questions, feel free to get in touch today to organise a free consultation!
We are at the end of the first week since the Immigration & Checkpoints Authority (ICA) launch of the new e-PR submission system for Singapore PR Applications. With this, Immigration@SG (IASG) has been receiving increased enquiries from individuals to help them negotiate this transition smoothly.
Clients whom we have spoken to shared that while they acknowledge the efficiencies that going full digital bring, they are heavily dampened by the following when it comes to e-PR:
- Too much effort required in getting the documents together
- Lack of clarity on the standards and documents / information required for online submission
- Too much time taken to complete the online application forms (Up to 6 hours!)
- Not confident after filing that their full profile is being presented correctly to the authorities
- Fear that the newly imposed application fees will be void due to improper submission formalities
You may refer to another of our recent post where we shared a screenshot taken off a popular expat forum where a disgruntled applicant shared his thoughts on e-PR submissions.
