# Does the "Singapore Citizenship Journey" (SCJ) improve my chances?

Last updated: 2026-08-12

- No. The SCJ is a mandatory post-approval requirement for those aged 16–60. It is not an application screening step.
- E&H emphasizes that you should focus your application on demonstrating "Integration" before approval, as this is what ICA reviews during the application process, not after.
