Completion of Formalities
4 days before knowing the outcome, the status changed from processing to outcome received, the upload documents gone.
Feb 23 - Received IPA for PR. Needed to complete 6 task which was all online via ICA website (mostly just to acknowledged and declaration forms)
1. Complete PR Journey
2. Medisave health declaration
3. Upload medical examination
4. Upload passport size photo
5. Review and confirm personal particulars
6. Entry permit & REP acknowledgement
Feb 24 - completed and uploaded all 6 task since i didn't need to re-do medical as my last medical for LTVP was less than a year. Once completed, we were advised to wait for 10 working days as ICA will review our documents.
Mar 10 - received notification to make payment for IC card, Entry Permit and Re Entry Permit which cost $120.
After making the payment, I was immediately granted PR and I received an email that my LTVP was canceled. Initially, we thought they will give us an appointment to complete formalities at ICA Bldg. It was probably because i just had my biometrics done last year in May when I completed my formalities for my LTVP.
My wife immediately check the status of our application, the status changed from Finalisation to “Congratulations, your Permanent Residence is granted” and it showed my NRIC number
We were asked to complete 3 tasks
1. Download my Entry Permit
2. Download my Re Entry Permit
3. Book an appointment to collect IC - need to wait for the notification from ICA as to when can book an appointment. Important to remember the issue date when booking.
We waited 3 days to book an appointment and finally collected my new IC the following week at Singpost.
Hope this helps. Goodluck to all.
Love,
Pambuk
