Do I need a visa to visit Singapore?

Sep 7, 2023 • 3 min read

Singapore is famously known for being a state of rules, so check to see whether you need a visa for your visit © 2p2play / Shutterstock

A visit to Singapore is a glimpse into the future. From its modern and almost surreal airport  to its eye-catching and ever-changing skyline, Singapore is continuously innovative.

Even though the tourist entry requirements for most nationalities are straightforward, Singapore is known for its commitment to the rules. Here's what you need to know about visas for Singapore, including what types of visas are available and the rules you’ll need to navigate for trouble-free travel.

What you need to know about visas in Singapore

The visa requirements for travel to Singapore depend on your nationality, how many days you'll spend in the country and why you're visiting. Citizens of 164 different countries can enter Singapore as tourists for a period of 30 or 90 days without a visa.  

Passport holders from the European Union, Switzerland, Norway, the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, South Korea, Japan and the United States get 90 days visa-free in Singapore, while citizens of some other countries can stay a maximum of 30 days without applying for a visa.

Travelers from countries that aren't on the visa waiver list  have to apply for either an e-visa or a regular tourist visa, depending on their nationality. While e-visa applications can be easily done at any online e-visa provider and have a processing time of just one day, regular visas are a bit more involved, requiring travelers to get in contact with their nearest Singaporean diplomatic mission or apply for a visa through an agent.

Singapore's Frequent Traveller Programme

The Frequent Traveller Programme allows visitors from Australia, China, Hong Kong, Japan, South Korea, Malaysia, New Zealand, Thailand, the United Kingdom and the United States to use the automated clearance facilities at immigration, a process that significantly simplifies entering Singapore and helps frequent travelers avoid long wait times at peak hours.

What else do you need when visiting Singapore?

All tourists arriving in Singapore must have a valid passport (with a minimum validity of six months at the time of departure), sufficient funds for their stay in Singapore and an SG Arrival Card.

Unlike most other Southeast Asian countries, Singapore does not have a paper-based Disembarkation Card to be filled out on arrival in the country. Instead, all travelers (including those enrolled in the Frequent Traveller Programme) are required to submit an SG Arrival Card online, which asks for basic personal information, trip details and a health declaration. Obtain an SG Arrival Card on the MyICA phone app or the official ICA website .

All travelers, including residents, who arrive in Singapore from countries with a risk of yellow fever transmission must present a yellow fever vaccine certificate. Travelers who do not have a valid yellow fever vaccination certificate are liable to be quarantined at their own cost for up to six days.

Will I get a stamp in my passport?

Travelers passing through immigration at Changi Airport receive an electronic Visit Pass (e-Pass) via email rather than a passport stamp. The e-Pass contains details of the visit pass granted, including the maximum number of days and the last day you're allowed to stay in Singapore.

Getting to Singapore

Make the most of your trip to Singapore with this guide to important information, tips and advice for an enjoyable visit to our sunny island.

Applying for a UK Tourist Visa / Visitor Visa in Singapore

After you’ve applied for a Schengen Tourist Visa , the next thing you’ll need is a UK Tourist Visa. The requirements are pretty much the same as with the Schengen Tourist Visa application, but you will only have to apply at the appropriate embassy, as you would expect.

Requirements:

• Your valid and original Passport + photocopy (must be valid for at least 6 months at the date of your travel)
• Your S Pass ID + photocopy
• A passport size photo (in cream or light grey background)
• Your old passports (for your travel record and history during the last 10 years)
• Your certificate of employment or a letter from your company specifying the current position you hold, your monthly salary, the date when you were hired, as well as the length of your leave from work for the purpose of your intended travel.
• Any of these documents to support your financial capacity (i.e. your bank statements during the last 6 months, your financial standing certificate, pay slips, or income tax return – whether personal or for a business)
• Your travel documents which should include your confirmed flight booking, hotel booking/s, travel insurance (must cover the duration of your stay in the UK), and summary of itinerary (optional)

Important: When applying for a certain visa, make sure you do this ahead of time (by as early as 3 months to avoid unnecessary delays with your travel).

• Create an account and fill out your visa application form online .
• Pay for the appropriate visa fee applicable to your visa type. In this case, a standard visit visa in UK would cost you SGD 168.00 per person. This is non-refundble and may vary depending on the current exchange rates.
• Once your application has been accepted and fully accomplished, print our your application form.
• Book an appointment through the VFS Global Website and visit the visa application centre on your scheduled date. The Visa Application Centre in Singapore is located at:

135 Cecil Street,

#08-01 MYP Plaza,

Singapore 069536   

Note:  Remember to be at the Visa Application Centre at least 15 minutes before your scheduled time and bring the original and photocopies of your documents needed for your visa application. It would also be helpful to prepare certified translations of all the required supporting documents that are not written in English/Welsh.

Also, you will be required to enrol your biometric data (photograph and fingerprints) at the Visa Application Centre so make sure that you do not have any designs or markings on your fingertips that may affect data collection.

You will also be given the option to receive SMS notifications on the status of your visa application when you visit the visa application centre so make sure to discuss this service with the staff who will assist you. There is an additional SGD 3.00 fee that you need to pay for this service.

Once your application has been reviewed, you will be notified and you may either pick up your documents at the VAC, or have it delivered to you by post (if you selected this option).

Singapore Entry Requirements for UK Citizens

Tourist Visa Needed

(for stays of up to 90 days)

Arrival Card Needed

What British need to enter to Singapore

All foreign nationals, including British citizens, must hold a valid Singapore Arrival Card (SGAC) to enter Singapore. The SGAC is an e-service introduced in order to simplify the process of registering arrivals into the country . In addition, it makes document checks at the Singapore border smoother and faster.

The SG Arrival Card replaces the paper-based Disembarkation/Embarkation Card for Singapore, which has now been discontinued.

Do British Nationals Need an Arrival Card to Visit Singapore

All travellers from the United Kingdom, regardless of the purpose and duration of their visit, must obtain a Singapore tourist card for British nationals .

It is important to keep in mind that the SGAC for the UK is not a visa . It is actually a mandatory entry requirement for all foreign visitors. British nationals who need a visa must submit a separate application either online or at the nearest embassy or consulate.

The SGAC for British travellers is valid for 90 days from the date of entry in Singapore for visa-free stays.

What Singapore visas are available for British nationals?

Singapore offers several types of visas that fall into one of two broad categories: short-term tourist visas and long-term visas .

British passport holders who wish to stay in Singapore for less than 90 days for tourism, leisure, or family visits, can travel visa-free. Long-term Singapore visas are available for UK citizens who intend to remain in the country for extended periods of time, work, study, or move to Singapore .

Note that the visa eligibility status does not in any way affect the need to obtain an SG Arrival Card for British citizens, and vice versa. Having successfully obtained a Singapore Arrival Card does not waive the UK holder’s visa requirements.

What are the SGAC entry requirements for the UK?

The SGAC entry requirements for UK citizens are minimal and include having:

• Access to a reliable internet connection and a device like a mobile phone, laptop, or tablet that will be used for online application
• A UK passport with at least 6 months of validity left from the intended date of arrival in Singapore
• A completed Singapore tourist card application form
• An active email address for all communication regarding the SG Arrival Card
• A debit or credit card to complete the online payment of the Singapore Arrival Card processing fee.

Because the SGAC is electronically linked to the passport used during the application, British candidates must use the same passport for applying for the SG Arrival Card and entering Singapore. That is also something dual citizens with multiple passports need to keep in mind. Some travellers from the UK may be required to show additional documentation such as:

• Proof of onward or return travel
• Financial evidence such as a bank statement showing that the SGAC holder can pay for their stay in Singapore
• Vaccine certificates.

How to apply for a Singapore Arrival Card as British traveller

Obtaining an SGAC for British passport holders is a quick and easy process that can be done online in a matter of minutes. Although it is possible to help someone else complete their SGAC application, each request must be submitted individually.

To successfully complete the application, travellers must fill out the personal details and passport information in the application form including:

• Nationality
• Date of birth
• Place of birth
• Passport number
• Passport country
• Date of issue of the passport
• Date of expiry of the passport
• Home address
• Phone number
• Email address
• Travel plans

After they have confirmed that all the information entered in the application form is correct, candidates will be asked to pay for the SGAC application fee through a secure online payment system. Payment can be done using any internationally recognised debit or credit card.

UK applicants will receive all communications regarding their Singapore Arrival Card via email to the address they have provided on the application form. It is, therefore, essential to regularly check the email address for notifications and status updates.

British SGAC holders can present their tourist card in its electronic format on their phone or another mobile device , along with their passport, upon arrival in Singapore.

Please note that the Singapore arrival card does not in itself guarantee entry into the country. The final decision is up to the Singaporean border control and immigration authorities.

Singapore Arrival Card for British visitors: Processing time

SGAC online applications are in most cases processed within one business day . However, applicants should submit their request at least 5 days prior to departure to allow enough time for delays that may be caused by public holidays and missing or incomplete information in the application form.

Register with the British Embassy in Singapore

UK citizens are highly recommended to register with the British Embassy before travelling to Singapore. Although most trips are problem-free, registered visitors enjoy greater peace of mind. British tourists who enrol with the embassy:

• Receive the latest safety and security information about Singapore
• Can be contacted and assisted more easily in exceptional circumstances such as a natural disaster
• Help family get in touch if there is an emergency whilst they’re away from home

British travellers can register their details with the embassy when applying for a Singapore Arrival Card through this website. To opt-in, applicants should select the UK Embassy Registration service on the payment page.

Singapore Visa

• › Singapore Visa

Singapore tourist visa is not required for citizens of United Kingdom for a stay up to 90 days.

• First, check the current validity of your passport. All travelers will need a passport valid for at least 90 days following your departure date from Singapore. However, we strongly recommend traveling with 6 months validity on your passport at all times. Citizens of United Kingdom can refer to www.ips.gov.uk for forms and instructions for new passport applications and British passport renewals.
• Second, make sure your passport has blank Visa pages. Most destinations, including Singapore, require that you have adequate un-used pages in your passport, allowing for any necessary stamps upon arrival and departure. We recommend that you have at least two free pages in Visas section of your passport before any international travel. British citizens can get extra passport pages added to their passports at www.ips.gov.uk .
• Finally, confirm if transit visa is required for any connections. Check with your airline in case you have connecting flights overseas as part of your journey to Singapore. It may be the case that countries you pass through en route to your destination may require a separate transit visa. Please refer to visa requirements of the specific country.
