What is the Singapore Arrival Card?

The SG Arrival Card is a replacement document for the traditional paper Disembarkation/ Embarkation Card (DE Card) and is a mandatory entry requirement for all foreign visitors and permanent residents that arrive in Singapore. It is a customs registration form that doubles as a travel health certificate to track and stop the spread of COVID-19 and safeguard public health. To apply for the Singapore electronic arrival card, you have to provide your recent travel information, health status, as well as personal and contact details.

The data from the electronically linked Health Declaration and arrival card can also be used by the Ministry of Health of Singapore for reference at local healthcare institutions where the traveler may be treated in case of a medical emergency.

The process to get the Singapore Arrival Card is completely online, fast, and simple. Please note that the SG Arrival Card is not a visa and cannot be used like one. Check the most up-to-date visa requirements for your nationality in our convenient visa checker widget.
