Set up a GIRO arrangement

We primarily use GIRO for recurring payments. Common services that may require a GIRO arrangement include:

Regular fees or charges: For example, import permit payment by plant hobbyists who frequently import plants or plant products from overseas.
License renewal: Payment for ongoing permits or licenses issued by NParks or the Animal & Veterinary Service (AVS).

Note

This is based on general practices and may vary depending on specific services or changes in our policies.

Check with the respective departments to confirm if a GIRO account is necessary for your specific needs.

How to set up

You will need to complete Part I of the GIRO application form and mail it to the following address:

National Parks Board
Headquarters
Singapore Botanic Gardens
1 Cluny Road
Singapore 259569
Attn: Finance Department (Accounts Receivable)

Your application may take an average of 4 - 6 weeks to process. We will notify you once we receive approval from your bank.
