Starting December 1, 2025, Singapore will introduce tighter immigration requirements for permanent residents (PRs). Under the new rules, PRs will have 180 days to renew their re-entry permits (REP). Failure to do so within this period will result in the automatic loss of their residency status.
This marks a significant change in how Singapore manages its permanent residency system, particularly for residents who spend extended periods abroad for work or other reasons. Currently, PRs whose REPs expire are given a one-month grace period, and authorities may sometimes exercise discretion to restore lapsed status. This flexibility will end under the new regulation.
From December 2025 onwards, PRs abroad when their REP expires will need to submit a renewal application within 180 days. Missing this deadline will lead to the immediate revocation of their PR status, with no option for reinstatement or appeal. Individuals who lose their PR status will need to reapply from scratch or secure a valid work pass to return to Singapore.
Implications of the Change
The update is part of broader amendments to the Immigration (Amendment) Act, passed in 2023, which aim to tighten long-term residency rules and ensure that PRs maintain active ties to Singapore.
This change will particularly affect Singapore’s global workforce and residents frequently stationed overseas. PRs working for multinational corporations or on foreign assignments may face complications if they fail to renew their REPs on time.
Losing PR status carries significant consequences, including the loss of public housing eligibility, health subsidies, and simplified re-entry privileges. It also means undergoing the PR application process again, which can be lengthy and subject to stricter approval criteria.
Understanding the 180-Day Renewal Window
PRs who submit renewal applications within 180 days will retain their residency status while their REP is being processed, even if they are abroad. Applications submitted after 180 days will be rejected. Affected individuals may still be granted one-time entry to Singapore through a Single-Entry Pass, provided they meet standard entry requirements. After that, they must either apply for a work pass or start the PR process anew.
Recommendations for PRs
With the December 2025 deadline approaching, the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA) advises PRs to:
This stricter framework reflects Singapore’s effort to strengthen its PR system and ensure that permanent residents maintain a genuine and ongoing connection to the country.

A young Nigerian lady, Jesulade Elizabeth, has captured hearts online after sharing a touching post about her faith during the ongoing Hallelujah Challenge 2025 and receiving a real laptop in return.
Jesulade had posted a photo of herself holding cardboard cutouts shaped like an iPhone 14 Pro Max and an HP laptop, labeled “Hallelujah Challenge October 2025.” She wrote that she was trusting God for the real items, adding, “See ya tonight. I’m so sat. I’ll be coming back to these, I know. #HallelujahChallenge2025.”
Her post quickly went viral, drawing attention and admiration from many Nigerians online who were inspired by her faith and creativity.
Moments later, a popular tech vendor known as Gadget Plug (@tizzydgreat) announced on X (formerly Twitter) that an anonymous donor had ordered a brand new HP laptop for Jesulade.
“Dear Jesulade,
Anon just ordered a brand new HP laptop for you. Kindly check your DM. Thank you,” the vendor wrote.
The gesture sparked excitement and warm reactions across social media, with users celebrating how her act of faith led to an instant miracle.
However, a lighthearted exchange followed when another user, Walter Black, commented that the laptop looked “UK-used,” to which Gadget Plug replied, “It’s a brand new system.”
Many have since praised Jesulade’s unwavering faith, using her story as a reminder that persistence and belief can yield surprising blessings.

TikToker Tristin Trivers, known for his skill in content creation and digital marketing, presented at Florida Atlantic University’s chapter of the American Marketing Association on Tuesday night.
FAU’s chapter of AMA was able to facilitate a space for students to engage with peers who aspire to become social media influencers, content creators, and, in the case of Trivers, a motivation not just for his fellow students but also for his 124,000 social media followers.
“If you really want to be successful on social media, I believe in reputation, longevity, and sustainability,” said Trivers in the session. Trivers, who uploads content centered on personal mindset and self-improvement, rose in popularity after posting TikToks and Instagram reels of himself running to the beach in the mornings.
A senior studying finance with the hope of someday being a successful entrepreneur, Trivers said he believes that showing up as your most authentic self will allow you to optimise your image on social media. After graduating from high school, Trivers moved to Orlando, Florida, from New Jersey. Through rolling admissions, he chose FAU.
While scrolling through social media, he began to notice a pattern: the creators he had watched growing up were making a fair amount of money. He said his primary motivation for pursuing a career in content creation was financial, but along the way, he discovered that there was much more to it than just the money.
Trivers then explained the process and evolution of his success using keywords to drive his point home. “It’s all about emotions and the feeling that you’re able to showcase to your audience,” said Trivers as he explained how to make your personal brand unique to you. “I think you really just need to be authentic, transparent, real, vulnerable.”
Junior finance major James Melillo discussed how this lecture, which he had not intended to attend, helped him gain a better understanding of his internship experiences. “When I was in there being trained for my internship, they also talked about ‘have your why, have your values.’ Don’t just do it for the money, do it for what you believe in and what you think should be done,” said Melillo.
Alessia Bosdhetti, a study abroad student from Italy majoring in film with a minor in fashion, stated, “I want to work in the entertainment industry, so now social media is the best way to promote yourself. I want to be an actress. The influencers are more considered because their faces are out there.”

The results are in for the 10th-largest jackpot ever in the Mega Millions lottery game.
The jackpot has been rolling since it was last won at $348 million in Virginia on June 27. A ticket sold in Ohio for the April 18 drawing won a $112 million prize before that, according to megamillions.com.
Here are the numbers drawn and prizes won in the Oct. 21 drawing:
Here are the Tuesday, Oct. 21, Mega Millions winning numbers: 2, 18, 27, 34 and 59. The gold Mega ball is 18. The Mega Millions lottery jackpot was an estimated $650 million with a cash option of $304.1 million for Tuesday night’s drawing.
No one won the jackpot in Tuesday night’s Mega Millions drawing. One ticket, sold in Illinois, matched the five white balls to win the second-tier prize; with the 3X multiplier, it is worth $3 million.
Friday’s jackpot is estimated to be $680 million with a cash option of $318.2 million. This is the ninth largest jackpot since the game started in 2002.
The next drawing is Friday, October 24, at 11 p.m. ET.
Drawings are every Tuesday and Friday at 11 p.m. ET.
The largest Mega Millions jackpot won on a single ticket is a $1.602 billion prize won in Florida on Aug. 8. Other large single-ticket Mega Millions prizes have been $1.537 billion won in South Carolina on Oct. 23, 2018; $1.348 billion won in Maine on Jan. 13, 2023; $1.337 billion won in Illinois on July 29, 2022 and $1.050 billion won in Michigan on Jan. 22, 2021.
Mega Millions tickets cost $2 per play. 
There are nine ways to win a prize, from the jackpot to $2. 
Players can pick six numbers from two separate pools of numbers: five different numbers from the white balls numbered 1-70 and one number from the gold balls numbered 1-25.
You win the jackpot by matching all six winning numbers in a drawing. 
You can pick your lucky numbers or select Easy Pick or Quick Pick and have the numbers auto-drawn. If you can’t decide, the Mega Millions website has a random number generator.
Most states offer the Megaplier feature, which increases non-jackpot prizes from two, three, four and five times.
It costs an additional $1 per play. 
Before each regular Mega Millions drawing, the Megaplier is drawn. From a pool of 15 balls, five are marked with “2X,” three with “4X” and one with “5X.”
