Babyt 4th Gear April 6, 2012 Author Share April 6, 2012 (edited) the online application status allows me to choose 1) first time 2) expired or is due to expire 3) run of of pages. nowhere for me to choose a proper reason..maybe i should just choose option 2 even though current passport has 1.5yrs to go?

SimonTan 2nd Gear April 6, 2012 Share April 6, 2012 (edited) You should do it immediately via Internet. Very simple n fast. Going to USA with new biometric passport will be easier!! Also can use the express lane at changi airport to clear or enter custom, using your thumb print system. Convenient.
