I used Heritage Immigration for my permanent residency, employment process, and the overall experience is good. They are very supportive, they have a clear workflow, each process is assigned to a dedicated person, they created a dedicated WhatsApp group, and all the documents were maintained in Google Drive. They communicated upfront about the documents and requirements, and the price was reasonable and cheaper compared to others. Overall, I am happy with them and I would recommend them.

Heritage Immigration really helped me a lot, everything was so smooth and they were very easy to talk to. I started my business in May in Singapore, and the whole process went smoothly from the beginning. The price felt reasonable, not bad at all for the market, and they were highly professional. I would definitely recommend them to two friends who also want to open a business here.

I hired Micah and the team for our PR application in Singapore, and we worked with them for about one year. They were very, very good with us, very good in communication, and we had no issues. We filed our PR with them, and even when there was a bit of a problem after filing, they were very happy to resolve it for us. They are a very kind and very nice team, and I am all positive for them.
How much do immigration lawyers cost in Singapore?
Real price ranges from the jobs our vetted immigration lawyers actually do. Updated July 2026
Singapore citizenship application
How much does a consultant or lawyer charge for a Singapore citizenship application?
Expect S$2,000 to S$5,000 in professional fees for a single applicant, and more for a family or for a case that has already been turned down. An appeal after a rejection is a separate engagement and the first fee is rarely refunded, so ask in writing what happens if ICA says no. Check whether you're paying a consultancy or an actual law firm, since only a lawyer can represent you if the case gets contested.
Single applicant, first application
S$2,000 to S$5,000
Family application
S$4,800 to S$5,500
Appeal after a rejection
S$1,000 to S$8,000
ICA government fee, per applicant
S$100 to S$225, paid to ICA
Bringing your family over
How much does it cost to bring a spouse or children to Singapore with a consultant's help?
A spouse or child joining you needs a Dependant's Pass or a Long-Term Visit Pass, and consultants charge S$500 to S$1,500 to handle one. Adding the whole family to a PR application is priced as a package, usually S$3,200 to S$4,800, and ICA charges its S$100 fee per person, so a family of four pays S$400 in government fees on top. Ask whether the quote covers every family member or only the main applicant.
Dependant's Pass or LTVP, one family member
S$500 to S$1,500
Family PR package
S$3,200 to S$4,800
Family citizenship package
S$4,800 to S$5,500
ICA fee, per family member
S$100 each
Investor residency (Global Investor Programme)
How much does a golden visa or investor residency application cost in Singapore?
None of the Singapore firms we read advertise a golden visa. The closest thing on their service lists is the Global Investor Programme, and none of them publish a fee for it, so it's quoted case by case after a consultation. For comparison, a standard PR application costs S$1,500 to S$4,000 in agency fees; expect an investor case to be priced only once the firm has seen your profile, and ask what's included before you pay a deposit.

Standard PR application, for comparison
S$1,500 to S$4,000
First consultation
usually free
Permanent residency (PR) application
How much does a PR application agency charge in Singapore?
Most single applicants pay S$1,500 to S$4,000 for the full service: eligibility check, document review, cover letter and the e-PR filing. Anything advertised around S$800 to S$1,500 is usually filing only, with no help if ICA rejects you, and a reapplication after a rejection runs S$2,500 to S$6,000. Half up front and half on submission is a common split, and the deposit is normally non-refundable, so get the refund terms in writing.
Basic filing only
S$800 to S$1,500
Full service, single applicant
S$1,500 to S$4,000
Reapplication after a rejection
S$2,500 to S$6,000
ICA fee, per applicant
S$100, plus S$50 on approval
Digital nomad visa
Is there a digital nomad visa for Singapore, and what would a consultant charge?
None of the Singapore immigration firms we read list a digital nomad visa, so nobody can honestly quote you one. If you work remotely or for yourself, the conversation will turn to which existing pass you might qualify for, and the two the fee guides do price, the ONE Pass and the EntrePass, sit around S$1,500 to S$3,500 in consultant fees. Take the free eligibility check most firms offer before you pay anyone.

ONE Pass or EntrePass instead
S$1,500 to S$3,500

usually free
EU Blue Card
Can an immigration lawyer in Singapore help with an EU Blue Card, and what does it cost?
The EU Blue Card is an EU scheme, so it isn't something you apply for in Singapore, and none of the Singapore firms we read offer it. If you're here and want the right to work here, the equivalent is an Employment Pass, which consultants handle for S$1,000 to S$3,000. If you're planning a move from Singapore to Europe, you'll want a firm in the destination country rather than a local one.

Visa and pass applications
What does an immigration consultant charge for a visa or pass application in Singapore?
For anything longer than a visit, what you're really applying for in Singapore is a pass from ICA or MOM, and the fee depends on which one. A Long-Term Visit Pass is the cheap end at S$500 to S$1,500, a ONE Pass or EntrePass sits around S$1,500 to S$3,500, and an appeal after a rejection can cost as much as the original application. Fewer firms publish fees for these passes than for PR, so treat the figures as a starting point and get an itemised quote.
Long-Term Visit Pass
S$500 to S$1,500
ONE Pass or EntrePass
S$1,500 to S$3,500
Appeal after a rejection
S$1,000 to S$5,000
ICA clarification letter or follow-up
S$500 to S$1,500
Work pass (Employment Pass or S Pass)
How much does it cost to get help with an Employment Pass or work pass in Singapore?
A new Employment Pass costs S$1,000 to S$3,000 in consultant fees, an S Pass a little less at S$800 to S$2,500, and a straightforward renewal S$500 to S$1,500. The jump comes after a rejection: an EP appeal runs S$1,000 to S$5,000, because someone has to work out why MOM said no and rebuild the case. Most firms quote a fixed fee, so confirm it covers any follow-up query from MOM and that the MOM processing fee is billed on top, and ask for the firm's EA licence number.
New Employment Pass
S$1,000 to S$3,000
S Pass application
S$800 to S$2,500
Employment Pass renewal
S$500 to S$1,500
EP appeal after a rejection
S$1,000 to S$5,000
Frequently Asked Questions
What people want to know before hiring immigration lawyers in Singapore.
What should I check before hiring immigration lawyers in Singapore?
Read recent reviews, be clear about exactly what you need, and agree the scope and a price in writing before any work starts. For anything regulated, check the credential yourself rather than taking it on trust.
How are prices quoted in Singapore?
Watch for prices shown with "++". That means 10% service charge and 9% GST are added on top, so a quoted S$100 is really about S$120. Ask whether a figure is nett before you compare two quotes.
Do I need a licensed professional in Singapore?
For some trades, yes, and it is not optional. Electrical work needs an EMA licensed electrical worker, plumbing that touches the public supply needs a PUB licensed plumber, and building work falls under BCA. Ask for the licence number.
What is the most important thing to know before booking?
Be clear about what you want and get the price and scope agreed up front, so there are no surprises. Reading other people's reviews is the quickest way to find someone who does the job well and turns up when they said they would.
What should I avoid when hiring immigration lawyers in Singapore?
Avoid paying the full amount up front (a deposit can be fair), anyone who will not give a clear quote, and unusually cheap prices that get padded with extras later.
How do I find immigration lawyers I can trust in Singapore?
Check the reviews and any credentials before you book. On Locallista the reviews are phone-verified and the ranking is based on real experience, not who paid the most.
