Visa Information

Overview

If you hold a travel document issued by one of the countries or places listed above, you will require a valid Singapore entry visa to travel to, and seek entry, into Singapore.

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 shown on the visit pass endorsement given on your passport and it is not tied to the validity of your visa.

Nationals holding travel documents issued by the following countries will require a visa to enter Singapore.

Please note: Application can only be submitted within 30 days prior to arrival in Singapore
