Portal links and environments

ApplySG has two environments. Staging is for configuration and testing, and it is free to use. Production is for live submissions only. This page lists the applicant and backoffice address of each portal in each environment.

Staging clean-up

ApplySG regularly clears the staging environment. A submission family is deleted permanently when the parent and all its child submissions have not been updated for more than 90 days. Deleted submissions cannot be recovered. To keep a family, update either the parent or one child at least once every 90 days. Scheme owners receive an email with a summary and a CSV of the deleted reference IDs after each clean-up.
