The authority for information on visa
requirements is the Singapore Immigration and Checkpoints Authority
(ICA). Information here is extracted from their website www.ica.gov.sg.
If you wish to find out more about visa requirements, please refer to
this website.
Visa Requirements
A Singapore visa is not an immigration pass. It is a pre-entry
permission for the holder of a valid Singapore 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. Possession of a
valid visa alone does not guarantee entry into Singapore. 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.
Check if you need Entry Visa
Please refer to the Immigration & Checkpoints Authority’s website to
check if you require an Entry Visa.
Visa Applications
You may apply for a visa online which must be submitted by a Local
Contact (a Singapore citizen or Singapore Permanent Resident who you
know). Your Local Contact may submit a visa application on your behalf
using the e-Services. Your Local Contact will require his/her Singpass
to use the service. A visa fee of SGD30.00 will be charged to your Local
Contact.
Alternatively, you may submit your visa application through our
authorised visa agent, VFS Global. For more information, please visit
VFS Global’s website. For queries and assistance on visa applications,
