Address changed after PR e-Appointment

Hi,

I did make PR e-Appointment (haven't submit the PR application yet) a couple months ago and now I moved to another place in Singapore. I've updated my address via EP online but my question is do I still need to inform ICA?

Thanks in advance,

Ya, Why not just drop them an e-mail?

I changed my address too, & updated with MOM.
But i did not inform ICA, later online i came to know that my PR was rejected & i never received letter, assuming it must have gone to my old address...

Safest thing to do would be to go to a post office and set up mail redirection for a few months. That way you're covered wherever they address the letter to.

Actually, the safest way is to go to ICA and update. I don't trust ANY postal sevice, especially when it come to redirected mail!

I agree. Address update via EP Online is only for MOM's records. You better update with ICA directly as well.

I asked an immigration official once about updating my address due to an EP renewal. He told me, they'll also get the updated address once it's updated with MOM.

Yes. IRAS, MOM, ICA, NS, etc are all supposed to share records.

...but just to be safe, better update to related government agencies even if it means doing that twice!

Thanks in advance,

if you update ur address at MOM, ICA is aware of the change automatically. Between, you are saying "haven't submit the PR application yet". So what is the problem then?

Submit your PR application with the new address change..

Just got reply from ICA and I can update my new address on the day of PR application submission.

Thanks again!
