Singapore Visa for Tourists in 2024: A Comprehensive Guide

Published: January 1, 2024

Singapore’s visa policy is simple and the country is very open to visitors. Most nationalities can enter visa-free and enjoy stays of either 30 or 90 days. The rest can obtain an eVisa although a local Singaporean contact or a visa agent is a requirement.

Owing to digitalization, entering and leaving Singapore is seamless through one of the automated lanes. If you’re eligible, you won’t even have to speak to an immigration officer!

To save you time and summarize all the information, this guide will cover everything about Singapore visa policy, visa requirements and eligibility.

Visa policy and visa types.

Passport holders of 162 countries and territories can travel visa-free to Singapore for 30 or 90 days.

Those who aren’t visa-exempt can pre-obtain a tourist visa. There are two ways to do that. The first is an e-visa through the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA) website. This method requires a Singaporean contact or an authorized visa agent to apply on behalf of the individual.

The second is through a Singaporean embassy abroad. Depending on nationality, you may also need a Letter of Introduction for Visa Application from a Singaporean contact.

Lastly, certain nationalities can take advantage of the Visa Free Transit Facility (VFTF) if in transit in Singapore to or from a third country. This option allows stays for up to 96 hours (4 days).

Singapore does not have a visa on arrival.

Entry Requirements

These entry requirements apply to all foreign citizens entering Singapore:

• At least 6 months of passport validity
• Valid visa unless visa exempt or using the Visa-Free Transit Facility (VFTF)
• Completed SG Arrival Card
• Return or onward ticket
• Proof of sufficient cash for your stay

Immigration officers very rarely ask for the last two. If you use the automated gates, you will not be asked for any proof.

It is also a good idea to check the list of Prohibited and Controlled Goods as Singaporean Customs can be a lot more curious.

Visa Exemption

The following countries are visa-exempt for Singapore. The length of allowed stay is either 30 or 90 days depending on your nationality.

• Netherlands
• New Zealand
• South Korea
• Switzerland
• United Kingdom
• United States
• Antigua and Barbuda
• Bosnia and Herzegovina
• Burkina Faso
• Central African Republic
• Congo, Dem. Rep. of

• Guinea-Bissau
• Liechtenstein
• Marshall Islands
• North Macedonia
• Papua New Guinea
• Philippines
• Saint Kitts and Nevis
• Saint Lucia
• Saint Vincent and the Grenadines
• São Tomé and Príncipe
• Saudi Arabia
• Sierra Leone
• Solomon Islands
• South Africa
• Timor Leste
• Trinidad and Tobago
• United Arab Emirates
• Vatican City

NOTE China will enter this list in early 2024 after Singapore confirmed a mutual 30-day visa exemption.

Visa exemption is available at all border crossings via air, land, and sea.

Singapore Visa from the Embassy

The nationalities that need a visa for Singapore are split into two levels. 

The main difference is that Level II countries must also submit a Letter of Introduction for Visa Application (LOI).

Assessment Level I Countries

• China (visa exemption expected in early 2024)
• North Korea
• Turkmenistan

Assessment Level II Countries

• Afghanistan
• South Sudan

Visa Requirements

Visa requirements may differ depending on the embassy you apply at. It’s best to check the specific visa application procedure by visiting the website of the Singapore Embassy nearest to you. Check the Singapore Overseas Missions here.

Both Level I and Level II are required to submit:

• Completed and signed Form 14A
• A passport-sized color photograph taken within the last three months. These are the photo requirements .
• A photocopy of your passport biodata page

Level II countries are additionally required to obtain:

• Completed Form V39A which is a Letter of Introduction for Visa Application (LOI)), issued by a local contact in Singapore.

The local contact must be either a Singapore citizen or a permanent resident who is at least 21 years old. 

That may prove troublesome for some travelers. A LOI issued by your Embassy can also be accepted if you are unable to secure an LOI from an individual.

Singapore E-Visa

Both Level I and Level II countries can obtain an e-Visa by submitting the same documents as for a regular tourist visa on the SAVE (Submission of Application for Visa Electronically) system .

Even though it’s an e-Visa, as an applicant, you cannot apply for the e-Visa on your own. The e-Visa application must be submitted by a local Singaporean contact or applied through an authorized visa agent approved by ICA such as VFS Global. 

The Singaporean contact must be at least 21 years old, a legal citizen or resident of Singapore, and have access to SingPass , the Singapore Identity Verification app.

The application costs 30 SGD (~22$).

If your application is successful, your Singaporean contact can send you the e-Visa file. Print it and present it on arrival to enter the country.

Applications are processed within 3 working days (excluding the day of submission) except for passport holders from Macao and Hong Kong for whom the process takes 1 day.

Visa-Free Transit Facility (VFTF)

The Visa-Free Transit Facility (VFTF) allows entry into Singapore for up to 96 hours under certain conditions.

Eligible Countries

The following countries are eligible for VFTF:

Requirements

India and china.

Nationals of India and China are eligible for VFTF if they meet the following requirements:

• Enter Singapore by any mode of transport but leave only via air or sea to a third country. You may be asked to show an onward ticket departing Singapore within 96 hours. Flight, ferry, and cruise tickets are allowed.
• Have a valid visa or long-term pass (valid at least one month after the date of entry into Singapore) issued by or allowing entry into any of the following countries:
• United States of America

Schengen visas allow entry to both Germany and Switzerland, so they are accepted even if issued by another country.

• If traveling on a single entry visa from one of the countries above, you may be eligible for the VFTF on the return from your journey if:
• You travel directly from the country that issued the visa, through Singapore, back to your home country;
• You have not been to your home country since you last used the visa.

All other countries

For the other countries on the VFTF list, these requirements are in place:

• Enter Singapore by any mode of transport but leave only via air to a third country. You may be asked to show an onward ticket departing Singapore within 96 hours. Only flight tickets are acceptable.

Visa-Free Transit

Visa-free transit does NOT allow you to enter Singapore!

You are considered a transiting traveler if you travel via Singapore without clearing immigration. All nationalities are eligible.

As a transiting passenger, you are allowed to stay within the transit area of Singapore Changi Airport.

Most layovers don’t require you to clear immigration. However, be careful with low-cost carriers and tickets booked separately. If that’s your case, you likely have to pass through immigration and customs and recheck your luggage. In that case, you must have a visa or be visa-exempt.

SG Arrival Card

The SG Arrival Card is mandatory for all visitors to Singapore regardless of nationality.

You can complete the SG Arrival Card online up to 72 hours before arrival. There’s no minimum required time before arrival so you can complete it at the airport too.

The SG Arrival Card is automatically linked to your passport information. If you don’t complete it properly, automated lanes will reject you and you must see a border officer to amend it.

Automated Clearance

Singapore has made strides towards complete automation of its borders. It is expected that soon all arrivals will be processed through automated lanes. For now, these are the eligible countries:

The procedure is quick and straightforward. If this is your first time in Singapore, the machine will also collect your fingerprints, an iris scan, and a face picture.

You will NOT receive a stamp on your passport. After entry, you will receive an email to the one you provided in the SG Arrival Card with the last day of stay allowed in Singapore.

Exit is also automated.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Does singapore require a covid test or vaccination certificate.

All Covid-related restrictions were dropped on 13 February 2023. There are no requirements regarding testing or vaccination.

Is the SG Arrival Card still required?

Yes. All arriving travelers must complete and submit it to enter Singapore. Complete online here .

Can I get an SG Arrival Card at the airport?

Yes, you can. Regardless, it’s still online.

What documents are required to enter Singapore?

• Passport valid for at least 6 more months;
• Valid visa unless visa-exempt;
• Onward ticket (very rarely, especially if using an automated lane).

Can I transit at Singapore Changi Airport without a visa?

Yes, you can, regardless of nationality, as long as you don’t leave the transit area.

You may enter and exit as you please if you’re visa-exempt. 

Alternatively, you may be eligible for a visa-free transit facility allowing stays inside Singapore for up to 96 hours.

Introduction

Welcome to the vibrant and dynamic city-state of Singapore! Known for its modern skyline, diverse culture, and mouth-watering cuisine, Singapore has become a popular destination for tourists from all over the world. Before embarking on your adventure in this tropical paradise, it is essential to ensure that you have the necessary travel documents in place. In this article, we will guide you on how to apply for a Singapore tourist visa, allowing you to explore and experience all that this amazing city has to offer.

Whether you are planning a short getaway or a longer vacation, obtaining a tourist visa is a straightforward process that can be completed online. Singapore has streamlined its visa application system, making it convenient and efficient for visitors. By following the step-by-step instructions outlined in this guide, you will be well-prepared to submit your application and embark on a memorable journey to Singapore.

Before diving into the application process, it is important to note that visa requirements may vary depending on your nationality. Singapore has visa exemption agreements with several countries, allowing their citizens to enter Singapore for a specified period without a visa. However, if you are not eligible for visa exemption, obtaining a tourist visa is mandatory.

Now, let’s take a closer look at the eligibility requirements and the step-by-step process of applying for a Singapore tourist visa.

Eligibility Requirements

Before applying for a Singapore tourist visa, it is crucial to ensure that you meet the eligibility criteria. The eligibility requirements for a Singapore tourist visa are as follows:

• You must hold a valid passport with at least six months of validity remaining from the date of entry into Singapore.
• You must be able to demonstrate proof of sufficient funds to cover your stay in Singapore. This includes accommodation expenses, daily living expenses, and return transportation costs.
• You must have a valid and confirmed return or onward ticket.
• You must have a clear criminal record. If you have any previous convictions or a history of immigration violations, your application may be subjected to additional scrutiny.
• You must not have been previously banned from entering Singapore.
• You must have a genuine intention to visit Singapore for tourism purposes, such as sightseeing, visiting family or friends, attending conferences or exhibitions, or participating in cultural events.

It is important to note that meeting the eligibility requirements does not guarantee approval of your visa application. The final decision lies with the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA) of Singapore, which reserves the right to reject any application without providing a reason.

Now that you understand the eligibility requirements for a Singapore tourist visa, it’s time to gather the necessary documents to complete your application.

Gather the Required Documents

When applying for a Singapore tourist visa, it is important to gather all the necessary documents to support your application. Having the required documents ready will ensure a smooth and efficient application process. Here is a list of the documents you will generally need:

• A completed visa application form. This form can be obtained and filled out online or at the authorized visa application center.
• A recent passport-sized photograph. The photograph must meet specific requirements, such as being in color, taken against a white background, and without any headwear (unless for religious or medical purposes).
• A copy of your passport biodata page. Ensure that your passport is valid for at least six months from the date of entry into Singapore.
• Proof of travel plans, such as a confirmed round-trip ticket or itinerary.

• Bank statements or other financial documents to demonstrate that you have sufficient funds to cover your stay in Singapore.
• Travel insurance coverage for the duration of your stay in Singapore.
• If applicable, any additional supporting documents depending on the purpose of your visit. For example, if you are attending a conference or exhibition, you may need to provide proof of registration or an invitation letter.

It is essential to ensure that all documents are complete, valid, and in the required format. Any missing or incomplete documents can result in delays or rejection of your visa application. Additionally, it is advisable to make copies of all the documents for your reference.

Now that you have gathered the necessary documents, it is time to move on to the next step, which is filling out the application form.

Once you have gathered all the required documents, it’s time to fill out the Singapore tourist visa application form. The application form can be completed online through the authorized visa application center’s website. Here are the steps to follow:

Singapore Tourist Visa

Every year, around 18 million visitors reach Singapore. That is more than 3 times the local population. To accommodate the needs of international travellers, Singapore has several visa options available.

Individuals wishing to enter Singapore should assess their own visa circumstances taking into account several factors, including:

• Their nationality
• The length of time they wish to spend in Singapore

• Travel directly from the country that issued the SJV, en route through Singapore, back to your home country

Singapore Visa Requirements for Indian Tourists

Singapore visa, if you're an indian tourist planning a trip to singapore, it's essential to have a singapore tourist visa..

April 17, 2023

Singapore Visa is a mandatory requirement for Indian tourists traveling to Singapore for tourism purposes. The visa application process is straightforward and can be completed online. However, before applying for a visa, it is essential to understand the visa requirements and the application process.

Introduction

Singapore, a city-state situated in Southeast Asia, is a popular tourist destination for Indians seeking a unique experience. With its world-renowned attractions, vibrant nightlife, and delicious cuisine, Singapore is a must-visit destination for any travel enthusiast. However, before embarking on a journey to Singapore, it is crucial to understand the visa requirements for Indian tourists.

Types of Visa Available for Indian Tourists: Indian tourists can apply for a Singapore tourist visa, which allows them to stay in Singapore for up to 30 days. The visa is valid for two years, and multiple entries are permitted. Additionally, Indian tourists can also apply for a Singapore transit visa if they are transiting through Singapore to a third country.

Documents Required for Visa Application: 

To apply for a Singapore tourist visa, Indian tourists must provide the following documents:

Visa Fees and Processing Time: 

It's important to note that a service fee of SGD 10  will be charged for each visa application submitted. The cost in INR will fluctuate and is valued at Rs.3400 inclusive of one-way courier charges and depends on processing locations like Chennai, Mumbai, and Delhi. The processing time for a Singapore visa may take up to seven working days during peak season. Therefore, it's recommended that Indian tourists apply for their visas well in advance to avoid any last-minute delays. All the prescribed documents are couriered to the embassy or designated address by the client in the format.

More information will be on actuals by the visa processing team.

Visa fees are non-refundable, even if the visa application is rejected. Therefore, it's crucial to ensure that all visa requirements are met and that all necessary documents are submitted to increase the chances of visa approval.

Visa Validity and Extension : The Singapore tourist visa is valid for two years and allows multiple entries. However, the stay period is limited to 30 days per entry. Tourists can apply for a visa extension of up to 89 days through the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA).

Understanding Singapore Immigration Laws

Immigration Regulations for Indian Tourists : Indian tourists must comply with Singapore's immigration regulations while staying in the country. They must carry their passports and visa documents at all times and present them to the authorities if requested. Additionally, tourists must ensure that they have sufficient funds to support themselves during their stay in Singapore.

Prohibited Activities in Singapore : Tourists must refrain from engaging in any illegal or prohibited activities while in Singapore. Activities such as drug abuse, gambling, and solicitation are strictly prohibited and can result in severe penalties, including imprisonment.

Consequences of Violating Immigration Laws: Violating Singapore's immigration laws can lead to deportation and a permanent ban from entering the country. Therefore, it is crucial to comply with all the rules and regulations to avoid any unwanted circumstances.

Applying for a Singapore Visa from India

Online Visa Application Process: Indian tourists can apply for a Singapore tourist visa online through the Singapore Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA) website. The process is straightforward and can be completed in a few simple steps.

Offline Visa Application Process : Alternatively, tourists can also apply for a Singapore tourist visa offline by visiting the nearest Singapore Consulate or Embassy. The process may take longer than online application, and additional fees may apply.

Common Mistakes to Avoid During the Visa Application Process: Tourists must ensure that they fill out the visa application form correctly and provide all the required documents. Any errors or omissions can result in delays or rejection of the visa application.
