Apostille for Singapore

Apostille for Singapore — for EP/S Pass work visa applications, PR submissions to ICA, Registry of Marriages civil registration, and academic credential recognition. The Hague Apostille Convention has been in force for Singapore since 16 September 2021, so Overseas Koreans Agency (OKA) apostilles are directly accepted without embassy legalization.
