All foreign travelers are required to complete the Singapore Arrival Card (SGAC) before arriving in Singapore by air, land, or sea, including those who don’t need a visa for Singapore. This digital declaration has officially replaced the old paper arrival cards and is now verified by airlines at the departure gate as part of the 2026 "No-Boarding Directive" policy.

To apply for a Singapore Arrival Card, you typically need the following documents and/or information:

Frequently asked questions about the Singapore SG Arrival Card

Yes. Even if your nationality allows for visa-free entry, the SGAC is mandatory for almost all foreign visitors. It serves as a combined arrival card and electronic health declaration. Without it, you may be denied boarding or face significant delays upon arrival. Most foreign visitors can now use automated lanes at Changi Airport, provided they have submitted their SGAC online beforehand.

The SGAC is free on official government channels. If you need assistance with the form or want a professional review to avoid common typos, iVisa offers these premium services for a fee.

After processing, you will receive an email confirmation. This confirmation is digitally linked to your passport number. When you scan your passport at Singapore immigration, the system will automatically detect your valid SGAC. You will also receive an Electronic Visit Pass (e-Pass) via email after clearing immigration, which replaces the physical passport stamp. You can also find a copy of your SGAC confirmation in your iVisa dashboard if applied through us.
The SGAC itself is only a registration for entry. Your stay duration depends on your nationality. Most travelers receive 30 or 90 days upon entry. Remember that once you leave Singapore, your SGAC expires and you must submit a new one for your next entry.
The Singapore government requires the card to be submitted within 72 hours (3 days) of your arrival. With iVisa, you can submit your info earlier; we will queue your application to ensure it is submitted exactly within the official 72-hour window, giving you peace of mind in advance.
Yes, every traveler, regardless of age, must have their own registered Digital Arrival Card for Singapore.

You can use iVisa’s "Add another person" feature to easily manage applications for the whole family in one session.

If you are transiting through Singapore without clearing immigration (staying in the transit area), you generally do not need an SGAC. However, if you plan to clear customs or stay in a hotel outside the airport, you must submit one. Note that since early 2026, some airlines may check SGAC status even for transit passengers if the itinerary involves separate tickets.
No. The card is for single entry only. You must complete a new SG Arrival Card registration every time you enter the country, whether arriving by air, land, or sea.
As of 2026, you will likely be denied boarding by your airline if you haven't completed the SGAC. If you do arrive without it, you will be required to fill it out on your mobile device before joining the immigration queue, causing long delays.
