<P>PR is permanent if one never leaves Singapore (except some rare cases)! What you need to renew is the Re-entry permit (REP). Every REP has its expiry date. A valid Re-Entry Permit (REP) is necessary whenever a Singapore Permanent Resident (SPR) wishes to travel out of Singapore. It will enable him/her to retain his/her SPR status while away from Singapore.</P><P><a href="http://app.ica.gov.sg/serv_pr/per_res/app_for_rep.asp" target="_blank" >http://app.ica.gov.sg/serv_pr/per_res/app_for_rep.asp</A></P><P>Every resident of Singapore (both citizen and PRs) must report the change of address within 28 days by law. Some authorities may require a shorter notice time.</P><P><a href="http://app.ica.gov.sg/serv_pr/iden_card/change_add_faq.asp#q2" target="_blank" >http://app.ica.gov.sg/serv_pr/iden_card/change_add_faq.asp#q2</A></P><P>If you fail to report a change of address within the stipulated time frame, you are guilty of an offence and shall be liable on conviction to a fine not exceeding S$5000 or imprisonment for a term not exceeding 5 years or both.</P>
