How this count works
Enter the date of departure without a valid re-entry permit, or the date the permit expired while you were abroad, as applicable. The reminder adds 180 days to that date. Submission of an application does not guarantee approval.
Under the rules effective from 1 December 2025, a permanent resident who departs Singapore without a valid re-entry permit generally must apply within 180 days of departure. If the permit expires while the resident is abroad, the period generally starts on that expiration date. Returning to Singapore does not replace the application requirement. An unsuccessful application can still result in loss of permanent resident status. Enter the application submission date to stop this reminder.
