Sworn Translation for Sri Lankans in Singapore
Singapore is a significant destination for Sri Lankan IT professionals, finance workers, and skilled employees holding Employment Passes and S Passes. Sri Lankan Tamils have maintained a presence in Singapore for generations, and a newer wave of Sinhala-speaking tech and finance professionals has grown in recent years. The Ministry of Manpower (MOM) and the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA) require certified translations for any non-English documents submitted with work pass, long-term visit, or permanent residence applications.
Sri Lankans in Singapore most commonly need certified translations when applying for Permanent Residence (PR) through the ICA, when registering a Sri Lankan-born marriage at the Registry of Marriages, or when submitting educational qualification documents to MOM for Employment Pass applications. Because Singapore is English-speaking, many Sri Lankan professionals in the city-state assume translations are only needed for Sinhala documents — but Tamil documents also require certified English translations for official submissions to Singapore authorities. Our service covers both Sinhala and Tamil source documents.
