askST: What is the electronic SG Arrival Card and who has to submit it?

SINGAPORE - The Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA) has encouraged returning Singaporeans, permanent residents and long-term pass holders who have been vaccinated overseas to upload their vaccination certificate to their electronic Health Declaration Card before arrival here.

This came just before Australia and Switzerland joined the list of countries on Singapore's Vaccinated Travel Lane scheme at 11.59pm on Sunday (Nov 7).

ICA said in a statement on Sunday that the declaration card is part of the electronic SG Arrival Card.

Q: What is the SG Arrival Card?

A: The SG Arrival Card is an electronic arrival card containing the personal information, trip details and health declaration of travellers seeking entry into Singapore.

It is not a visa into the Republic.

Q: Who should submit the SG Arrival Card?

A: All travellers seeking entry into Singapore should submit the SG Arrival Card, including Singapore citizens, permanent residents, long-term pass holders, those with in-principle approval (IPA) letters, and travellers under the Frequent Traveller Programme.

Those transiting or transferring through Singapore without seeking immigration clearance need not submit the SG Arrival Card.

Q: Why do I have to submit the health declaration card in the SG Arrival Card?

A: This requirement is part of ICA's border control measures in response to the Covid-19 pandemic.

Q: How do I submit the SG Arrival card?

A: Travellers can submit their SG Arrival Card online via ICA's Web portal or through the official SG Arrival Card mobile app. The app can be downloaded for free from the Apple App Store or Google Play store.

There are two different online forms on the website. One is for Singapore citizens, permanent residents and long-term pass holders - such as work pass, student pass and dependant's pass holders. The other is for other travellers, including IPA letter holders and those enrolled in the Frequent Traveller Programme.

Submission via ICA's website or the official app is free. ICA does not support or endorse services offered by commercial entities that provide assistance in submitting the SG Arrival Card for a fee.

Q: When should I submit the SG Arrival Card?

A: Travellers should submit their SG Arrival Card within three days prior to their arrival in Singapore. This is to avoid unnecessary delays during immigration clearance.

Q: Am I required to upload my Covid-19 digital vaccination certificate via the SG Arrival Card if I was vaccinated in Singapore?

A: Singapore residents and long-term pass holders vaccinated against Covid-19 in Singapore are not required to upload their vaccination certificate via the SG Arrival Card, as their vaccination record would have been automatically transmitted to ICA's immigration system.

They can use the automated lanes for immigration clearance upon arrival.

Q: Am I required to upload my Covid-19 digital vaccination certificate via the SG Arrival Card if I was vaccinated overseas?

A: Singapore residents and long-term pass holders vaccinated against Covid-19 overseas are not required to upload their vaccination certificate via the SG Arrival Card prior to returning to Singapore.

But they are encouraged to do so as it will enable their vaccination record to be reflected in the Ministry of Health's HealthHub or TraceTogether apps. It will also allow them to use the automated lanes upon arrival for faster immigration clearance.

They only need to scan or upload the QR code in their vaccination certificate if they choose to provide their vaccination record via the SG Arrival Card.

Singapore residents and long-term pass holders who do not upload their foreign digital vaccination certificate before their arrival can still present their vaccination certificates - whether physical or digital - to the authorities upon their arrival in Singapore.

But they will have to clear immigration at the manual counters.

Q: What happens if I don't submit the SG Arrival Card, or make a false health declaration?

A: Failure to complete or submit the SG Arrival Card, as well as providing false information in the card, is an offence under the Infectious Diseases Act.

First-time offenders may be jailed for up to six months, fined up to $10,000, or both.

Those who commit a subsequent offence may be jailed for up to a year, fined up to $20,000, or both.

Travellers should submit their SG Arrival Card again if there is any change in their health status prior to arrival in Singapore.

The new online declaration form will be on the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority’s (ICA) website or the MyICA application from May 10.

Travellers will be required to provide their particulars, the country or region the money is being moved from or being moved to, as well as their reasons for moving it.

They will also have to include the types and amount of cash and bearable negotiable instruments and, where relevant, the sources and recipients of them.

Travellers arriving in Singapore can select "submit cash declaration" after filling up the Singapore Arrival Card online.

Once the declaration is submitted successfully, travellers will receive an acknowledgement email which can be provided as proof to ICA officers when required at checkpoints.

Travellers can make their submissions up to three days before their arrival or departure from Singapore. They must complete their declaration before reaching Singapore’s checkpoints.

Anyone who makes a mistake in their declaration must void it and submit a new one online. If their travel plans have changed, they should also void the declaration.

Singapore Arrival Card: Everything You Need To Know Before Your Arrival

April 16, 2024

Singapore is one of the most popular destinations in Asia, attracting millions of visitors every year with its vibrant culture, diverse cuisine, and stunning attractions. But before you pack your bags and hop on a plane, there's one thing you need to do: fill out the Singapore Arrival Card.

The Singapore Arrival Card Overview

The Singapore Arrival Card is a mandatory health declaration form that all travelers to Singapore must complete online before arrival. It replaces the old paper-based Disembarkation/Embarkation (D/E) card that you used to fill out on the plane or at the airport.

The Singapore Arrival Card is part of the country's efforts to prevent the spread of COVID-19 and ensure the safety of its residents and visitors. By filling out the form, you provide important information about your identity, travel history, health status, and contact details. This helps the authorities to monitor your health and contact you if necessary.

In this article, we'll tell you everything you need to know about the Singapore Arrival Card: what it is, how to get it, when to submit it, what to do with it, and more. We'll also answer some frequently asked questions that travelers often have about the form.

So read on and get ready for your trip to Singapore!

Your health declaration (whether you have any symptoms of COVID-19, whether you have been in contact with anyone who has COVID-19, whether you have been vaccinated against COVID-19, etc.)
Your contact details (phone number, email address, etc.)

The Singapore Arrival Card is required for all travelers to Singapore, except for:

Singapore citizens

Singapore has reopened its borders to all fully vaccinated travellers and removed all existing vaccinated travel lanes (VTL) and unilateral opening arrangements from 31 March 2022, 2359 hrs (SG time). The border measures for fully vaccinated travellers or travellers aged 12 and below (regardless of vaccination status) arriving via air or sea checkpoints from countries/regions in the General Travel Category / Australia are as follows:

Vaccinated Travel Framework: Non-vaccinated travellers who are aged 13 and above or certified medically ineligible for COVID-19 vaccinations

1. Qualifying as a transit traveller

Transit travellers refer to those who depart for a third country via Singapore without clearing arrival immigration . Singapore does not require COVID-19 tests, travel visas or entry approvals for transit travellers. However, travellers who transit in Changi must have their flights booked on the same itinerary, in order to ensure that their checked-in luggage can be tagged-through from the origin airport to their final destination. Travelling with flights operated by different airlines on the same journey is allowed, if the flights are made under the same booking. Travellers interested in connecting through Changi Airport should consult their airline on the options available.

Travellers who intend to clear arrival immigration to enter Singapore, or booked separate flights under different itineraries, which requires them to enter Singapore to collect baggage and check-in again for the connecting flight, are not considered transit travellers. They are responsible for ensuring that they fulfill all requirements for entry into Singapore, and should refer to the “ Travelling to Singapore ” page for more information on entry requirements.

For more information about Singapore Changi Airport’s transit area, including shopping and dining options within the departure transit area, please check the Changi Airport website .

2. Transit travellers must fulfil destination country requirements

Please note that the authorities of the destination country may impose requirements on travellers transiting in Singapore, which travellers also have to comply with. As an illustration, if travellers intend to depart from Country X , transit in Singapore, and fly to destination Country Y , they are strongly advised to check the requirements of Country Y , such as:

Acceptance of transit travellers: Whether the authorities of destination Country Y accept travellers transiting through Singapore, including whether they impose requirements on using certain flights for transit.
Entry requirements: Whether the authorities of destination Country Y impose conditions of entry such as visas, entry approvals, vaccinations or other documentation. The airline will check upon boarding if you have the relevant documentation on hand.
Pre-departure testing (PDT) requirements: If Country Y requires travellers to take a COVID-19 test for entry into Country Y . Such COVID-19 tests are not available in the transit area of Changi Airport and travellers should take their PDT in Country X , if Country Y requires them to do so.

Uploading of Overseas COVID-19 Vaccination Records to Singapore's National Immunisation Registry (NIR)

Singapore Citizens, Permanent Residents and Long-Term Pass Holders who have been partially/fully vaccinated overseas can update your vaccination records to Singapore's National Immunisation Registry (NIR) when they next return to Singapore. Currently, COVID-19 vaccines authorised by the Health Sciences Authority under the Pandemic Special Access Route (such as Moderna or Pfizer-BioNTech) or listed on the World Health Organisation's Emergency Use Listing (WHO EUL) [such as AstraZenca and Sinovac vaccines] will be accepted.

Updating of your vaccination record in Singapore can be done in 3 simple steps:

Visit any of the participating clinics in Singapore. Details on the providers can be found here ;
Show them your overseas vaccination documentation - document must be in English;
Go through a serology test

Your certificate will be reflected in your HealthHub App a few days later.

For more information, please refer to the Ministry of Health's website here.

From 6 July 2022, all travellers to Australia will no longer need to:

Provide evidence of vaccination status
Complete the Digital Passenger Declaration or Maritime Travel Declaration
Provide evidence of their vaccination status
Apply for travel exemption to travel if they are unvaccinated

Masks are still required while in flights.

Entry & Visa Requirements

Travellers are required to hold a valid Australian visa. Short-term tourism or business visitors should apply for an Electronic Travel Authority (ETA) through the mobile app, AustralianETA (available on Apple and Android). ETA applications through the Australian Department of Home Affairs’ (DHA) website are currently not available. Please refer to DHA’s website for the full list of visa options.

Customs & Biosecurity

Australia has strict customs and biosecurity laws. Hefty penalties may apply. Please refer to the Australian Border Force’s website for information on prohibited goods before travelling.

If you are carrying food, plant material or animal products, you must mark ‘YES’ on your Incoming Passenger Card. If you are unsure, just declare it. You will not be penalised if you declare all your goods, even if they are not permitted in Australia.

If you fail to declare or make a misleading/false declaration, your item may be seized and you may be subject to penalties such as fines of up to A$2,664 or even imprisonment up to 10 years for criminal offences.

General Safety

Always take care of your personal safety and keep your family/friends informed of your whereabouts and activities.

If you lose your passport, please refer to our website here for information on replacement passport/emergency travel document.

On-arrival measures for fully vaccinated travellers

Testing positive for COVID-19 in Australia

Overseas Singaporeans must comply with the advice of the local health authorities if they test positive for COVID-19.

If you develop severe symptoms and require emergency medical assistance while in isolation, call Triple Zero (000) straightaway and inform the ambulance staff that you have been diagnosed with COVID-19.

The states/territories' guidelines on testing positive for COVID-19 are as follows:

Uploading of Overseas COVID-19 Vaccination Records to Australian Immunisation Registry (AIR)

Long-term visitors who received their COVID-19 vaccinations overseas can have it uploaded on the Australian Immunisation Registry (AIR), if both of the conditions below apply. It will then appear on your COVID-19 digital certificate, International COVID-19 vaccination certificate and immunisation history statement.

The vaccine is approved for use in Australia - The following vaccines are currently approved in Australia:
Pfizer COMIRNATY
VACZEVRIA (previously known as AstraZenca)
COVID-19 Vaccine Janssen
Moderna COVID-19 vaccine
You received it on or after the date it was approved.

You will need to provide documentation (in English) that shows the vaccination that you have received.

The Services Australia website provides information on having a recognised vaccination provider (this includes doctors such as GPs or a community health centre) to enter your immunisation in the AIR. You will first need to have a MyGov account and an Individual Healthcare Identifier (IHI) (you would already have an IHI if you are enrolled in Medicare). You can then approach your GP or a local community health centre to assist you to upload your records to AIR. Most GPs would upload the vaccination records for their existing patients free-of-charge. If you do not have a regular GP, you may be charged with an admin or consultation fee by the clinic to upload the vaccine record for you.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is a ministry of the Government of Singapore responsible for conducting and managing diplomatic relations between Singapore and other countries and regions.

Entry requirements

What to declare?

Under Singapore’s laws, arriving travellers are required to declare and pay the duty and Goods and Services Tax (GST) to bring in dutiable and taxable goods exceeding their duty-free concession and GST relief . This is applicable whether the goods were purchased overseas or in Singapore.

GST is a tax on the taxable supply of goods and services in Singapore and on the importation of goods into Singapore (other than an exempt import). This means that GST is levied on all goods brought into Singapore or purchased locally.

The imposition of GST on goods imported into Singapore has been in force since 1 April 1994 when GST was implemented in Singapore. The practice is consistent with countries that levy GST (also known as Value-Added Tax in some countries).

Please note that GST is payable whether or not foreign sales taxes were paid.

Dutiable Goods and GST Taxable Goods

There are four categories of dutiable goods in Singapore:

Beverages and liquors consumed for health reasons and used for cooking are dutiable if the alcoholic strength by volume exceeds 0.5% (eg shandy, bottled alcoholic cocktail drinks, D.O.M., Yomeishu, samsu and rice wine)
With effect from 1 July 2020, all cigarettes and other tobacco products imported into, sold, offered for sale or distributed in Singapore must comply with the new Standardised Packaging (SP) requirements. For further information, you may refer to Health Sciences Authority (HSA)’s website or contact Ministry of Health (MOH) through email at [email protected] .
Importation of cigarettes and / or tobacco products that do not comply with the SP requirements is not allowed, and these cigarettes and / or tobacco products will be disposed of at the checkpoints.
Travellers have to ensure that their cigarettes and / or tobacco products comply with the SP requirements before making a declaration and payment via the Customs@SG web application . Do note that no refund will be given for duty and Goods and Services Tax (GST) already prepaid via the Customs@SG web application for cigarettes and / or tobacco products that do not comply with the SP requirements.
Motor vehicles , including motorised bicycles
Motor fuel , including motor spirits, diesel products and compressed natural gas (CNG)

All goods imported into Singapore are subject to GST.

Payment of Taxes

Payment of Duties and GST can be made via the following payment modes:

All major credit cards (Mastercard, Visa and American Express), mobile wallets, NETS and Cashcard at the Singapore Customs Tax Payment Office
Visa, Mastercard or American Express on the Customs@SG Web Application

How to declare?

Major traveller entry checkpoints in Singapore operate the Red and Green Channels system. The Red and Green Channel signs are above the examination counters in the arrival hall after immigration clearance. At certain checkpoints, forward security checks are conducted before immigration clearance . If you are carrying any dutiable, taxable, controlled or prohibited goods, please declare them to the checking officer at the Red Channel or at the Customs Examination Area before immigration clearance.

When To Use The Red Channel

Proceed to the Red Channel if you are carrying:

Dutiable goods exceeding your duty-free concession or Goods exceeding your GST relief ;
Controlled or restricted goods or Prohibited goods

The Red Channel and the examination counters are manned by the Immigration & Checkpoints Authority (ICA) . Checks on persons, baggage and vehicles entering Singapore are conducted by ICA.

What to do at the Red Channel

At the Red Channel , please:

Inform the checking officer of any declarable goods you are carrying; and
Produce the controlled goods, if any, together with the relevant permit or authorisation form from the relevant authorities, if any.

You need to present a valid Customs import permit for clearance if you are carrying (but not limited to):

More than 0.4 kilogrammes of cigarettes or other tobacco products;
More than 10 litres of liquor products;
More than 10 litres of motor fuel in a spare container of a motor vehicle;
More than 0.5 kilogrammes of investment precious metals for personal use;
Goods for trade, commercial or business purposes, in which the GST payable exceeds S$300 ; or
Goods clearly marked as trade samples (excluding liquor and tobacco products) the value on which exceeds S$400
An Individual/ traveller may engage a local freight forwarding agent/ TradeNet Service Centre to appoint a TradeNet Declaring Agent to assist you with the permit application. You may refer to the list of local forwarding agents .
The Declaring Agent may declare using the Miscellaneous Unique Entity Number (UEN), 99999990000C, in the permit application for individuals importing goods (including goods subject to control of Competent Authorities) for non-commercial purposes only. For more information on the correct usage of the generic UEN in permit applications, please refer to Customs Circular No. 11/2014 .

More information on permit requirements is available at Types of Import Permits . Alternatively, you may contact us at (+65) 63552000 or submit your enquiry via the Customs Documentation Enquiry Form

When to use the Green Channel

Proceed to the Green Channel if you are not carrying any declarable goods stated above. ICA officers will conduct selective checks at the Green Channel.

If in doubt, always ask the checking officers at the Red Channel/Customs Examination Area or approach the Singapore Customs Tax Payment Office.

It is the responsibility of travellers to make an accurate and complete declaration of all goods exceeding their duty-free concession and GST relief in their possession, including goods carried for or on behalf of other persons.

Those who fail to do so can be fined and prosecuted in court. More information on customs offences is available here.
