Learn More: SG Arrival Card

In August 2019, the Singapore Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA) introduced the Electronic Arrival Card to replace the traditional paper Disembarkation / Embarkation Card (DE Card).

It is an electronic admission document which travelers can complete up to 14 days in advance of their intended arrival date in Singapore, and avoid wasting time and paper at the airport. Applicants will receive their Tourist Card via email after filling our application form.

iVisa offers this service to help travelers save time and avoid long lines at the airport. Also, by getting an Electronic Arrival Card, you do not have to fill out the paperwork handed out on the plane. Please note, iVisa is not an authorized visa agent to handle application for a Singapore visa. Travelers who require a visa to enter Singapore should refer to the ICA website for more information. Travelers can apply for the Singapore Arrival Card themselves without any cost and can refer to the ICA website for more information.

Singapore Visa Policy

Learn more about Singapore Tourism

Singapore is a popular vacation destination for a number of reasons. After it won its independence from Britain, this country flourished into a modern-day nation with Chinese, Malay, and Indian influences. The large cities are vibrant and have excellent nightlife, while the rural areas are rich in tradition. If you plan to vacation in Singapore, you will have a great time there. But before you start planning your trip to Singapore, there are a few things you should know about. Below, you will find some useful information.

One of the reasons why people choose Singapore as their vacation destination is that it has a very lenient visa policy. Most nationalities can travel to Singapore for short stays without having to obtain a visa in advance. The citizens of all European Union countries, Australia, New Zealand, Norway, South Korea, Switzerland, and the United States can travel to Singapore without a visa if they do not plan to stay for more than 90 days. All other visa-exempt nationalities are permitted to stay for up to only 30 days. Now, the nationalities that do need a visa in advance are put into two categories. The first one includes the nationalities that are on the Assessment Level I Countries list. If you find your country of origin on this list, then you can apply for a Singapore visa using an online visa service, like iVisa. You will need a passport that remains valid for at least another 6 months from your departure, as well as a few other documents.

The second category consists of nationalities that are on the Assessment Level II Countries list. If you happen to be among them, then you have to visit the nearest Singaporean embassy/consulate or a visa center.

As far as what you can see in Singapore, the options are unlimited. Plus, it depends on which district you choose to go to. If you are looking for beaches and high-end resorts for your vacation, then you can pick one of the three beaches in Sentosa. There are some islands in the south where you can relax as well. If you are on the east coast, you will find some nice beaches there too. The point is that Singapore does not lack beaches, and all of them should be to your liking.

If you are interested in the local cuisine and culture, we recommend that you hit Chinatown, Little India, and Kampong Glam. As mentioned above, Singapore has Indian, Malay, and Chinese influences, and you can find treats from all cuisines.

If you are looking for museums while in Singapore, you should go to the Bras Basah area. It is located north of the Singapore River, and it is Singapore’s colonial center. You will find numerous historical buildings and museums there. Singapore also has some impressive wildlife. Most popular with tourists are the Singapore Zoo, the Night Safari, the Jurong Bird Park, and the Botanical Gardens. It is a little bit difficult to experience ‘natural’ wildlife, but if you visit the Bukit Timah Nature Reserve, you will see more plant species than there are in all of North America, so that may be interesting for you to see. You can also check out the turtle and tortoise sanctuary in the Chinese Gardens.

You can go on a fabulous shopping spree while in Singapore. The shopping malls are concentrated on Orchard Road, but if you want to see where the locals do their shopping, you should go to Bugis and Marina Bay. Perhaps you will find some interesting souvenirs there as well.

Singapore does not lack beautiful places of worship. In fact, Singaporeans take great pride in the fact that many religions peacefully coexist in this country. Buddhism, Taoism, Hinduism, Christianity, Islam, Sikhism, Baha’I Faith, and even Judaism are all found in significant numbers in Singapore. As you can imagine, there is a place of worship for all of them, and they are all open for you to visit.

While in Singapore, you will not lack things to do, either. You can actually have a lot of fun. You can go golfing, scuba diving, surfing, ice skating, and snow skiing. However, keep in mind that Singapore is a small country and that the prices are pretty high, meaning that you are somewhat limited. Even so, surely you will be able to find some things you can do. One of the things you have to try while in Singapore is going on a weekend diving tour. Many dive shops can arrange for you to explore the marine life on the East Coast of Malaysia.

According to Singapore’s constitution, the official language is Malay. However, basically all locals under the age of 50 speak English. The degree of fluency differs, but as long as you know English, you should have no issues regarding the language barrier.

One of the things you will love in Singapore is the food. This country is an excellent destination for foodies. Why? Because it is a melting pot of different cuisines. You will pamper your taste buds with authentic Chinese, Thai, Malay, India, Arab, and Japanese food, but western food is widely available too. Plus, the quality of the food is exceptional. If you are a foodie, you are going to absolutely love Singapore.

Singapore is one of the safest city-states in the world. Just like any other destination you visit, you may encounter petty thieves, but if you use your common sense, you should not have any issues. The city is safe to walk through at night, even if you are a woman walking alone. The crime rate is incredibly low, and police officers work very hard to keep it that way. What you should know is that drug offenses are punished severely in Singapore, which is why you should refrain from using any recreational drugs while you’re there.

The sanitation standards are very high in Singapore, and the tap water is safe to drink. You have nothing to worry about health-wise. Malaria is not an issue because Singapore maintains mosquito control. In fact, leaving water out uncovered will get you fines. However, that cannot be controlled in natural parks and reserves, which is why you should carry mosquito repellent sprays and nets if you plan on sleeping out in nature.

Needless to say, Singapore makes for a fantastic vacation destination. You can have a lot of fun if that is what you wish, but you can find the perfect place for relaxation, too.
