Overview
Permit for Singapore permanent residents and some pass holders to maintain PR status while traveling abroad. Prevents automatic cancellation of PR upon departure. Can be single or multiple entry.
The Re-Entry Permit (REP) is essential for Singapore permanent residents who wish to travel outside Singapore. Without a valid REP, departing Singapore results in automatic cancellation of PR status. REP can be single-entry (one trip abroad) or multiple-entry (for frequent travelers). The permit is inexpensive and quick to obtain online.
