Who is eligible to apply for Singapore Citizenship?
- Primarily open to Singapore Permanent Residents who have held PR for at least 2 years.
- Other categories: spouses of Singapore citizens (after holding PR), children born overseas to a Singapore citizen parent, and stateless persons born in Singapore.
- ICA assesses each case holistically — integration, economic contribution, and long-term commitment all matter, not just the 2-year minimum.
