Change tracker
Singapore immigration policy change log
Every fee, threshold and processing standard our guides quote is stored once and checked against the official page it comes from. When a value changes, the change is recorded here with its effective date and source.
How this log is built
Each entry is a canonical fact — the PR application fee, an Employment Pass qualifying salary, a processing standard — with the value before, the value after, when it took effect and the official page it was read from. Announced changes appear before their effective date and are marked as such. Entries are added by SingaPR's monitoring of official sources and by editorial verification; nothing here is inferred from third-party reporting.
