GIRO and Other Payments



GIRO

GIRO is the most convenient way to pay your invoice.

If you wish to pay by GIRO, please complete the GIRO application form and send to AVA for processing. To download the form, please click here*.

* Please note that payment via GIRO is not yet available for renewal of dog licence. Dog owners have the option to renew the dog licences electronically, via cheque or at any Singapore Post outlet. Please bring along the dog licence renewal notice for payment at Singapore Post. Thank you.

Your GIRO application takes an average of 4 - 6 weeks to process. Please continue to make payment using your existing arrangement until you receive notification from us that your GIRO application has been approved.

GIRO deduction from your designated bank account will be made on every Friday for transactions dated the previous week. Please ensure that you have sufficient balance in your bank account for the deduction. If the GIRO deduction is not successful, a failed GIRO notice will be sent to you and there will be a charge of $10 for each failed GIRO deduction.

A monthly GIRO statement consolidating the list of successful GIRO deductions will be sent to you.
