ACRA Strike Off Timeline Singapore 2026: First Gazette, Final Gazette & What Happens Next
In a straightforward case, the Singapore strike-off process takes around 4 to 6 months. After the application is submitted, the company goes through regulatory review. If there is no unresolved issue, ACRA publishes the First Gazette Notification. That starts the objection period, which generally lasts about 60 days. If no objection remains outstanding at the end of that period, ACRA publishes the Final Gazette Notification and the company is struck off. The main reason this timeline gets disrupted is an IRAS objection caused by incomplete tax clearance, unresolved GST matters, or outstanding filings. If your company still has unresolved tax filings, GST issues, overdue annual returns, or secretarial gaps, it is better to fix them before you apply. That is where Terra Advisory Services can help.
