Singaporeans urged to apply for passports ahead of June school holiday rush

Here are peak days to avoid when applying.

According to a release, the Immigration & Checkpoints Authority (ICA) reminded the public to ensure that their passports have at least six months’ validity on the day they plan to leave Singapore in light of the approaching June school holiday.

If the expiry date is approaching, ICA encourages the public to apply for a new passport soon.

Singapore citizens submitting their passport applications online, by post, deposit box or via the eLobby@ICA are entitled to a $10 rebate and will only pay $70 instead of $80 for the passport.

Where possible, Singaporeans are advised to avoid coming to the ICA Building for passport services during the busy periods, i.e. on Mondays, Fridays, Saturdays, school holidays, the eve of public holidays and the day after.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
