SINGAPORE PASSPORT

SINGAPORE PASSPORT

All Singapore passports issued from 15 Aug 2006 will be biometrically enabled (BioPass).

Singaporeans holding the current non-biometric machine-readable passports may wish to apply for the new BioPass to enjoy visa-free travel to the United States of America (USA) under the US Visa Waiver Programme.

You may wish to apply for a Singapore International Passport (i.e. BioPass) using the applications form (Form IMM E11 (OS) and Form P 28.3, links below) or submit it online at https://eservices.ica.gov.sg/esvclandingpage/apples. The completed application forms can then be submitted either in person (adult) or through a proxy at the Consulate-General.

VALIDITY
The new BioPass is valid for 5 years. If your existing passport carries a remaining validity of 9 months or less, the remaining validity of your passport will be carried over to your new passport. In such a case, your new passport will have a validity period of 5 years, plus the remaining validity of your old passport.
