If your travel document is issued by one of the countries/ places listed below, you will require a valid visa to enter Singapore.

Nationalities which need a visa

All travellers are required to submit the SG Arrival Card with Electronic Health Declaration before arriving in Singapore, except:

• Those transiting/transferring through Singapore without seeking immigration clearance; and
• Singapore citizens travelling through the land checkpoints.

You are required to submit the SGAC within three (3) days (including the day of arrival) before arrival in Singapore.* This is to avoid unnecessary delays during immigration clearance upon your arrival.

*For example, if you are arriving in Singapore on 30 Jun 2025, you can submit your declaration from 28 Jun 2025 onwards.

Please note: The SG Arrival Card is not a visa.

No, the original passport is not required. The Embassy of Singapore issues an electronic visa in a PDF format which will contain a unique identification number. The visa stays in the system of the Singapore Immigration and will appear automatically on the passport control officer’s screen; it also can be printed out and presented to the immigration officer together with an online Singapore Arrival Card at passport control.

You might be asked to produce a return ticket. Even those who do not require a visa to enter Singapore are often asked to produce a return ticket when checking in on a flight.

Here is an example of what the Singapore e-Visa will look like:
