After 24 years of residing in Singapore, I finally had my Singapore citizenship transition done, approved and granted.
I had applied them together with my immediate family members so all of us were granted the citizenship and we turned red together.This afternoon was the second last agenda as we were presented with the Singapore passport.
When receiving them from the ICA officer, I had a lot of emotions that run through my mind.
It was a feeling of happiness and gratitude as I looked back at how far we've come to get to this stage.
For years, I have been in and out of the ICA for countless times, maybe more than 100 visits in total, as I looked to renew my student pass, then dependant pass, then employment pass, then the permanent residence and now finally the citizenship.
