What you need to know
-
The Singapore eVisa is only for tourism purposes.
-
Travelers must have their passports with at least 6 months of validity from the date of arrival and have at least 1 page available for stamping.
-
The Singapore eVisa is valid for 63 days after issued and allows the holder a maximum stay of 30 days Per Entry. However, due to highly chances of rejection, we only process applications for tourists staying no more than 15 days per entry.

Having a Singapore eVisa does not provide an automatic right of entry into the country (also known as being granted an immigration pass). The Immigration & Checkpoints Authority (ICA) officer at the port of entry may refuse entry to any person if they consider that a person is unable to fulfill the immigration requirements or that such person's presence in Singapore would be contrary to national interests or security.
-
A proof of accommodation is required to obtain the travel document. The dates in this document MUST match the travel dates selected in the application. This is a requirement that is demanded by the government in order to issue the travel document.
-
Please be aware that, due to frequent rejections of the Singapore Immigration & Checkpoints Authority, we are not accepting applications for women under 40 years old traveling alone.

Questions?
Is travel insurance a mandatory eVisa requirement?
Ivan V, Russia | July 6, 2024
I'm currently traveling in Thailand, originally from Russia, and I've decided to visit Singapore next week. Is having travel insurance a mandatory requirement for the Singapore eVisa? I’m finding conflicting information online.
Martin, iVisa | July 9, 2024
Travel insurance is no longer a mandatory requirement for obtaining a Singapore eVisa if you're traveling from Russia. While it's always recommended to have travel insurance for your own safety and coverage against unexpected medical expenses, it's not compulsory for the visa itself.
What does 'multiple journey' mean in the visa?
Lola T, Uzbekistan | July 17, 2024
I’ve just received my eVisa for Singapore. It’s labeled as a 'Multiple Journey' visa, and I’m a bit puzzled about what this means for my travel plans. I'm looking to visit Singapore, then head to Kuala Lumpur for a few days, and return to Singapore before flying back home. Does it mean that I can enter Singapore more than once with the same visa?
Martin, iVisa | July 19, 2024
A 'Multiple Journey' visa for Singapore means that you can enter Singapore multiple times using the same visa until its expiration. This type of visa will suit your travel plans perfectly, allowing you to visit Singapore, travel to Kuala Lumpur, and then return to Singapore without needing a new visa each time. Each entry will be subject to the normal immigration process, but you do not need to reapply for another visa to re-enter Singapore during the validity of your visa.
Can I use this visa to enter Singapore by sea?
Medina O, Kazakhstan | July 23, 2024
I’m thinking of taking a ferry from Malaysia to Harbour Bay in Singapore. I have a Kazakhstani passport and I’m not quite sure about the visa requirements for this route. Do I need to get an eVisa before I get on the ferry, or are there specific conditions for entry by sea?
Cami, iVisa | July 26, 2024
As a Kazakhstani passport holder, you are required to obtain an eVisa before boarding a ferry to Harbour Bay in Singapore. It's important to have your eVisa processed and ready before your departure, as there are no special conditions or exceptions for entry by sea compared to air or land entry.
My application couldn’t be completed due to an error. What now?
What can I do if my Singapore eVisa application has been canceled or rejected?
With our iVisa experts reviewing all visa applications and accompanying documentation before submission, rejections are rare.
However, if government officials find any errors and reject your application, iVisa will refund your processing fee, and you will have the option to reapply for your Singapore e-visa.
NB: Government fees will not be refunded.
Do I need to apply for a new visa if the visa validity period ends before my return date?
How do I transfer my valid visa issued on my old travel document to the new one?
To transfer your valid visa from your old travel document or passport to the new one with which you intend to travel to Singapore, you will need to visit an Authorized Visa Agent for assistance. You will also need to have the following supporting documents:
-
Your old and new travel documents (original and copy)
-
Printout of the valid visa
-
Form 14A duly completed and signed
-
Your recent passport-sized color photograph taken within the last three months
Is entry to Singapore guaranteed if I have a visa?
The Singapore Immigration Authority is in charge of deciding and granting valid Singapore visas, and as with any visa to any other country, possessing one does not guarantee a foreign national entry into the country.
Immigration Authority officers at the Singapore checkpoints get the final say on whether you can enter or not, and each case is considered on its own merits.
What can be a possible reason for the refusal of a visa?
Refusals by the Immigration and Checkpoint Authorities are rare, and the reasons are not disclosed. However, some causes of rejection by the Immigration & Checkpoints authority include the following:
-
The applicant did something wrong during their previous stay in Singapore
-
The applicant has abused the visa regime or overstayed the permitted time during their previous stay
-
The applicant has another currently valid visa to Singapore
-
The applicant has already been refused a visa recently
-
The applicant has already applied for a visa with another agency
-
The photograph is not sharp or bright enough
Due to increased illegal activity by female tourists entering Singapore with a tourist visa, the ICA has become much stricter with the visa approval procedure.
