Need a Singapore Passport? Buy Online: Quick and Simple!

Okay, here’s the story of how I tried to buy a Singapore passport online. I heard it was doable, so I thought, why not give it a shot? I mean, who wouldn’t want a Singapore passport, right? It’s like the golden ticket of passports.

First, I started to search online. There is so much information about applying for a Singapore passport online. Then I found the official website. The website said I needed a Singpass to log in and fill out the online application form.

So, I tried to create a Singpass account. It asked for a lot of details, like my full name, date of birth, and contact information. I filled them all in, hoping everything would be smooth sailing. After registering, I tried to log in to the system. Once I logged in, there was a detailed online application form for the passport. It was pretty long and asked for even more personal information.

Application Requirements

The application form required:

• Applicant’s Identity Card Number/Birth Certificate Number/Citizenship Certificate Number: This was straightforward.
• Applicant’s Passport Expiry Date: I didn’t have an existing passport, so I got stuck at here.
• Applicant’s recent passport-sized color photograph: This one was tricky. The photo had to be taken within the last three months and follow specific requirements. I went to a photo studio and got a new photo taken. They knew the requirements, so that part was easy.

I filled out the application form as completely as possible, providing all the necessary details and uploading the new photo. I double-checked everything to make sure it was accurate.

After submitting the application, I waited. And waited. I was told that I would receive a validation email once the decision was made. It felt like forever, but finally, I got an email. I opened it, only to find out that my application had been rejected. They needed an existing passport number or some proof that I was eligible for a Singapore passport.

So, that was my experience trying to buy a Singapore passport online. It didn’t work out the way I hoped, but it was definitely an interesting process. I learned a lot about the requirements and the steps involved. Maybe I’ll try again someday when I meet all the eligibility criteria.
