Singapore visa policy

The Singapore visa policy offers several travel options depending on your nationality, the purpose of your visit, and the length of your intended stay. Nationals of many countries are permitted to enter Singapore visa-free for short visits related to tourism, business, or social purposes, typically receiving a Short-Term Visit Pass on arrival. However, travelers from visa-required countries must apply in advance for an entry visa through an authorized agent, a local contact in Singapore, or the official Immigration & Checkpoints Authority (ICA) portal.

Even if an entry visa is granted, it does not guarantee entry; the final decision and duration of stay are determined at the border by immigration officers. All travelers must also complete an SG Arrival Card submission prior to entry.

Singapore offers a variety of longer-stay visas and passes for those coming to work, study, or join family members. The Employment Pass and S Pass cater to foreign professionals and mid-skilled workers, while Work Permits are available for semi-skilled laborers in various industries. Students enrolled in full-time courses at approved Singapore institutions can apply for a Student’s Pass, and eligible family members of citizens, permanent residents, and certain work pass holders may apply for a Long-Term Visit Pass.

Those seeking short-term professional engagements, such as public speakers or journalists, may apply for a Miscellaneous Work Pass.
