Visa

Visa required

Before you travel, check what the official route asks for. Which route is open to you depends on your passport and your situation.

Obtain a visa before travelling. Approved visas are issued electronically, but applications must follow an authorized route through a Singapore local contact or strategic partner, an authorized visa agent or a Singapore mission. Form 14A, a photo and a passport copy are required; a Letter of Introduction and other documents depend on nationality. ICA determines admission and the stay separately from visa validity. A qualifying transit itinerary may have a separate Visa-Free Transit Facility; check all its conditions.

Conditional alternative only: 96-hour VFTF while transiting to or from a third country. Confirmed onward air/ferry/cruise ticket within 96 hours; arrive by any mode and depart by air or sea. Require a visa or long-term pass valid at least one month from entry, issued by/good for entry into Australia, Canada, Germany, Japan, New Zealand, Switzerland, UK or US. Used single-journey visa exception: return directly from issuing country via Singapore to home without having returned home since use. No extension; ICA assessment.

Processing time
ICA standard: within three working days after complete submission, excluding submission day; some cases take longer. Mission timing varies.
Government fees
SGD 30 nonrefundable government processing fee. Agent or mission charges may apply.

Onward travel

Required under these conditions

ICA's general entry requirements for short-term visitors say you should have enough cash and proof of onward travel, such as tickets and visas. Be ready to show them; ICA decides whether you can enter.

Travel insurance

Recommended

ICA's entry requirements for short-term visitors don't list travel insurance, but it's recommended. Check any conditions for your visa or circumstances.

Other information

These conditions are for a regular tourist visit. Where you live, your visa status and the route you take can change what applies to you.

  • Foreign passports must normally have six months of validity. ICA may require sufficient funds, onward-travel evidence and biometrics.
  • The e-Pass issued at entry determines the allowed stay. A visa or arrival-card submission does not guarantee admission.
  • Yellow-fever certification depends on recent travel history; check ICA’s current entry requirements.
