About Singapore

Singapore is one of Asia’s most vibrant, diverse, and safest cities. The beautiful tropical island offers something for quite literally everyone. Enjoy an afternoon along the world famous shopping mall haven of Orchard Road or escape the concrete jungle to enjoy one of the many garden oases speckled across the city. Indulge your taste buds in the national dish of chili crab or cruise the streets of Little India for a taste of authentic Indian cuisine. Enjoy the attractions and rides at Singapore’s Universal Studios or slip away for a relaxing beach day at the beautiful Sentosa Island. Dance the night away at one of the city’s many nightclubs or experience the Singapore Night Safari, the world’s first wildlife night park. All of this and more can be enjoyed with the security and comfort of knowing that you are in one of world’s safest cities. Singapore was recently ranked as the safest country in Asia and one of the top 10 safest cities in the entire world.

Singapore Visa, Customs, and Legal Regulations

Important Things to Note

Most visitors coming into Singapore do not require a visa for entry and may be given social visit passes. The period of stay granted will be shown on the visit pass endorsement given on your passport. If you would like to stay in Singapore for a longer period, you may apply to the Immigration & Checkpoints Authority (ICA) upon your arrival.

Visa-Requiring Travellers

The list of countries whose nationals require a visa to enter Singapore may be found on the ICA’s website. Should you require a visa, please refer to ICA’s website for application procedures. As with most countries, do note that the possession of a visa does not entitle a foreigner to enter Singapore automatically. Visitors must also meet entry requirements such as holding a passport with at least six months validity, having sufficient funds for the intended period of stay in Singapore and confirmed onward or return air tickets. The grant of a visit pass to a foreign visitor is determined by the ICA Officers at the Singapore checkpoints and each case is considered on its own merits.

For more information on entering and exiting Singapore, check out ICA’s Travellers’ Info Guide.

SG Arrival Card

All Visitors are required to complete and submit SG Arrival Card before arriving in Singapore. Do note that SG Arrival Card is not a Visa, please refer to ICA’s SG Arrival Card on how and when to complete the Arrival Card before arriving in Singapore.

Visa Requirements for Transit

All visa-requiring travellers must be in possession of a visa in order to be considered for entry into Singapore. This includes visa-requiring travellers who are transiting through Singapore. If your connecting flight requires you to go through immigration and collect your baggage before re-entering again for your next flight, you will need to be in possession of a visa. Please refer to Immigration & Checkpoints Authority’s website for visa application procedures and for more information about transiting through Singapore, check out ICA’s Transiting through Singapore.

Loss of Passports

Should you lose your passport while in Singapore, please make a police report immediately and approach your embassy in Singapore to apply for a replacement travel document. After obtaining your replacement travel document, you should make a report to the ICA to regularise your stay in Singapore. For more information on procedures for Regularisation of Stay and the documents required, please visit ICA’s website.
