Right of Entry Application for Singapore Citizen Minors

The Right of Entry (ROE) allows a Singapore Citizen (SC) minor to use their foreign passport for immigration clearance as an SC when entering or leaving Singapore through the Singapore checkpoints. 

To apply, the minor must be an:

• SC below 21 years old who holds a foreign passport

You will need the following documents:

Minor’s documents:

• Foreign passport
• Deed poll or religious certificate (if there is a change of name). The name on the foreign passport must match ICA’s records. If the minor holds a Singapore Identity Card, you must update their name with ICA before applying for the ROE.

Requestor’s documents:

• Letter of authorisation (if the requestor is an appointed proxy)

There is no fee to apply for an ROE.

ICA generally processes these applications within 3 working days, if you submit all required documents. 

Once you receive an email from ICA confirming that the ROE is approved, the minor can clear immigration as an SC using their foreign passport. You can save the digital ROE on your mobile device or print it out, in case it is required during immigration clearance.

If the minor obtains a new foreign passport, you must submit a request to transfer the ROE to the new travel document.
