A lost passport must be reported immediately to the Passports Unit Citizen Services Centre, Immigration and Checkpoints Authority or to the nearest Singapore overseas mission abroad.

Passports reported lost cannot be used even if recovered subsequently. If one recovers the lost passport after a new one has been issued, he/she must surrender the recovered passport to ICA for cancellation within 14 days. Failure to surrender a recovered passport is an offence punishable by a fine not exceeding S$1,000 or imprisonment for a term not exceeding 6 months or both.

Visa applications take at least ten (10) working days to process from the date of receipt. Applicants should therefore provide sufficient time for processing and also take into account any delays in the postal service. We cannot give any applicant priority over another.

All Singaporeans residing in South Africa are encouraged to register with the High Commission. This is so as to enable the High Commission to stay in touch with Singaporeans and provide assistance in times of emergency. The registration will also facilitate dissemination of information on events organised by the High Commission.

The MFA eRegister system is a voluntary and free service provided by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) to all Singapore citizens who travel or reside overseas. Regardless of whether you are travelling abroad for study, work or leisure, the eRegister system allows you to record information about your travel itinerary abroad. The information you provide will allow to contact you in order to make sure that you are safe and, if need be, assist you should an emergency.
