Apply for your Singapore eVisa online

The eVisa is a travel permit for specific nationalities. In addition, the SG Arrival Card (SGAC) is a mandatory digital arrival/health form that everyone entering Singapore must submit in the 3 days before arrival, counting the arrival date — travelers transiting without clearing immigration are exempt. If you need a visa, you must have both.

Your approved Singapore eVisa arrives as a PDF by email, linked electronically to your passport number, so there is no sticker to collect. Print a copy for your airline and keep a digital version for immigration. You must also submit the SG Arrival Card in the three days before you land so the automated gates recognize your visa. iVisa can file both documents together.

With a Singapore eVisa, you are typically granted a stay of up to 30 days per entry. While the visa itself may be valid for 63 days or even up to 2 years (allowing you to travel to Singapore during that window), the specific number of days you can stay is decided by the ICA officer at the border. Upon arrival, you will receive a digital Short-Term Visit Pass (e-Pass) via email, which will officially confirm your "last day of stay" allowed. If you need more time, you can apply for a one-time extension online through the ICA website, provided you have at least 14 days of validity remaining on your current pass.

Yes, every traveler, regardless of age, must have their own eVisa for Singapore. You can use iVisa's "Add another person" feature to easily manage applications for the whole family in one session, saving time and effort.

If you don't have a local contact, you must use an Authorized Visa Agent. iVisa acts as a sub-agent or facilitator during your application, if you apply through us.

If you stay in the "Airside" transit area (Terminals 1–4) to wait for your connecting flight and your bags are checked through to your final destination you won't need an eVisa. Most major airlines allow this. However, if you plan to enter the country, clear customs, recheck baggage, or stay in a hotel outside the airport, you must have an eVisa. If you are from a visa-required country (like India or China), you might qualify for a 96-hour visa-free stay if you have a valid visa or residence permit from the US, UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Germany, or Switzerland. Check with your airline on how this works and the requirements.

Common reasons for rejection include mismatched data or a poor-quality photo. If rejected, you can appeal through your authorized agent within one month. Our experts at iVisa significantly reduce this risk by catching errors before submission. We also offer denial protection as an optional add-on to your application.
