SINGAPORE - Media OutReach Newswire - 2 August 2024 - Corptrust Pte Ltd, a renowned consultancy firm specialising in Singapore PR and citizenship applications, welcomes the recent launch of the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority's (ICA) new e-system. Introduced on 26 June 2024 without prior announcement, this new system is accessible through the ICA e-services portal and is set to revolutionise the application process for Singapore PR and citizenship.
The new e-system integrates the previously separate PR, citizenship, and long-term visit pass application portals into a unified platform. This change is expected to simplify the process for applicants, particularly families, who can now submit multiple applications simultaneously. For instance, a family with a Singapore citizen and a newborn requiring both a long-term visit pass and citizenship can now complete both applications through the same portal.
Key features of the new e-system include:

- Unified Application Process: The user interface and experience for PR and citizenship applications have been standardised, enhancing usability and consistency.
- Common Data Set: Applicants must now provide a comprehensive data set for each person in the application.
- Simplified Document Submission: Form 4A, a staple of the PR process for over 20 years, is no longer required. Instead, all details are entered directly into the e-system.
- Additional Information Requirements: Applicants must now provide previous passport records, spouse employment history, and more detailed information about family members.
- Elimination of Certain Documents: Annex A to Form 4A and declarations, now handled electronically, are no longer required. However, home country ID cards and household registers must now be submitted.
- Alternative Principal Applicant: A new feature allows families to nominate an alternative principal applicant. If the primary applicant is unsuccessful, ICA will evaluate the alternate applicant, simplifying the decision-making process for families.
- Supplementary Document Submission: The new portal provides sections for uploading supplementary documents, enabling applicants to strengthen their applications with additional relevant information.
