Visa Requirements
A Singapore entry visa is not an immigration pass. It is a pre-entry permission for the holder of a valid visa to travel to, and seek entry, into Singapore.
The grant of an immigration pass will be determined by the ICA officers at the point of entry. The period of stay granted is not tied to the validity of your visa.
From 11 March, all foreign visitors arriving in Singapore will be notified digitally of their Visit Pass (e-Pass) through email. There will not be any endorsement on your passport. The e-Pass notification will indicate the period of stay granted and last day of stay allowed. Please ensure that you provide a valid email address when submitting the SG Arrival Card.
You will also need a visa if you are traveling on:
- A Refugee travel document. This travel document is subject to the assessment of recognition for entry into Singapore
- An Alien’s passport. This travel document is subject to an assessment of recognition for entry into Singapore
- A Palestinian Authority passport
- A temporary passport issued by the United Arab Emirates
- A Document of Identity issued by Hong Kong Special Administrative Region
- A Travel Permit issued by Macao Special Administrative Region
