# Can a Singapore Re-Entry Permit (REP) renewal be rejected?

Last updated: 2026-08-12

- Yes. ICA may deny renewal if you have not been residing, working, or studying in Singapore, or have not maintained meaningful ties to the country.
- A rejected or lapsed REP means loss of PR status. Renew well before expiry, especially if you have spent extended time abroad.
