SINGAPORE - Singaporeans with year-end travel plans should apply for new passports now if they are holding passports with fewer than six months' validity or expired ones.

The Immigration and Checkpoints Authority said in an advisory on Thursday that doing so will help to avoid another surge in applications for passports towards the end of the year. " provide sufficient time for ICA to meet the demand for year-end travels," added ICA."Singaporeans who submit their applications late will risk not being able to collect their passport in time for their travel."

The ICA advisory comes after a surge in passport applications earlier this year, when travel resumed after a two-year hiatus due to the Covid-19 pandemic.In May, ICA said the number of passport applications had increased to more than 7,000 a day, compared with 2,000 daily before the pandemic.
