Who will handle your application
Sulochana Uthirapathi, Founder
While studying law abroad, Sulochana’s student visa lapsed without her realising. For months, she didn’t know if she’d be allowed to finish her degree. She knows what it feels like when your future depends on one immigration decision.
After graduating, she spent years at a global immigration firm in Singapore, helping founders, families and professionals with complex applications. In 2017, she started Transform Borders to be the immigration consultant she wished she’d had. She still reviews every application personally before it’s submitted.

Common questions
How do I choose an immigration consultant in Singapore?
Check that they hold a valid MOM Employment Agency licence. Ask who will actually handle your application, and whether they’ll be honest about the weak points in your case. Read their Google reviews and case studies. For a side-by-side look at how agencies compare, see our guide to immigration agencies in Singapore.
Is Transform Borders a licensed immigration agency?
Yes. Transform Borders holds Employment Agency Licence 19C9949, which you can verify on MOM’s Employment Agency Directory.
What does an immigration consultant in Singapore do?
An immigration consultant assesses your eligibility, plans how to present your case, prepares your forms, documents and cover letter, and submits your application to MOM or ICA. They also respond to any follow-up requests until a decision is made.
Do I need an immigration consultant, or can I apply myself?
You can apply yourself, but it takes time to understand the requirements, gather the right documents and get every detail consistent. Many of our clients could apply on their own, but would rather have us handle it so they can focus on work and family. An immigration consultant is especially worth it if you are unsure whether you have a strong enough profile to secure the PR, citizenship or work pass you are after.
How much does an immigration consultant cost in Singapore?
Our fees range from SGD 750 to SGD 2,500 depending on the pass and how complex your case is. For example, an Employment Pass application is SGD 1,500 to 1,800 including MOM fees. See our full price list here.
Can you help if my application was rejected?
Yes. We review why it was rejected and advise whether to appeal or reapply, for Employment Pass, PR, citizenship and LTVP applications. If your PR or citizenship application with us is rejected, you get 40% off our fee when you reapply.
Can you guarantee approval?
No. MOM and ICA make the final decision, so no one can guarantee an approval. Be careful of any agency that does. What we do is present your case in the strongest way possible to maximise your chances of approval: your profile, your story and the right supporting evidence, all checked for consistency before submission. If a PR or citizenship application with us is unsuccessful, you get 40% off our fee when you reapply.
Can you help if I’m outside Singapore?
Yes. We do most of our consultations by video call or WhatsApp.
