Singapore allows only one citizenship, so yes, you would have to give up all of them

Singapore knows I have a UK passport.  Pretty sure they have no idea I also have an Irish one.  Just give up the one your EP/PR is stamped in and stay quiet.

I heard that you do have to give up your current nationality to become Singaporean.

However you can always re-apply for your original nationality once you have your Singaporean.

I think that for Brits you can say oops I made a mistake... Get it back when on your next return to Blighty and dont tell anyone at immigration here.

This has been covered on here many times before.

1.  If you want to settle down in Singapore, it makes things easier and permanent (the P in PR is not actually permanent!)

2.  SG passports travel very well...China, Vietnam, Indonesia, US, EU, etc visa free.

3.  In the case above, if you can get your former citizenship back, you lose nothing in doing it

OP, have you been 'offered' an application for citizenship? Are you a collector? Just interested.
