Do I need a visa to enter Singapore?

Only if your passport is issued by one of the 35 listed countries/places (including India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Russia, Nigeria, Egypt, China's non-ordinary passports, CIS states and others); all other nationalities can enter visa-free for short tourist stays.

How long can I stay in Singapore without a visa?

The Immigration officer grants a Short-Term Visit Pass (also called Social Visit Pass) at the checkpoint, which can be 14, 30 or 90 days depending on the officer's assessment and nationality.

What is the Visa-Free Transit Facility?

It allows eligible nationals (CIS, Georgia, India, Turkmenistan, Ukraine, and selected PRC travel-document holders) who are visa-required to transit Singapore for less than 96 hours without a Singapore visa, subject to meeting onward ticket and visa conditions and ICA officer assessment.

Can I extend my stay in Singapore?

Visitors who wish to stay beyond their granted Visit Pass can apply for an extension online via the ICA e-Service; approval is discretionary and a S$40 fee applies once the total stay reaches 90 days or more from entry.

What is the SG Arrival Card and does it cost anything?

The SG Arrival Card (SGAC) with Electronic Health Declaration is a mandatory pre-arrival digital form for almost all travellers. It is free of charge on the official ICA website or MyICA app.

How much passport validity do I need to enter Singapore?

All travellers, except Singapore passport holders, must ensure their passport has a minimum validity of 6 months.

Do I need an onward or return ticket to enter Singapore?

Short-term travellers should have sufficient cash and proof of onward travel (tickets, visas) when entering Singapore.

Do I need a yellow fever vaccination certificate for Singapore?

All travellers with recent travel to, or over 12 hours' transit in, countries with risk of yellow fever transmission in the past six days must produce a valid yellow fever vaccination certificate on arrival.

Can I apply for a Singapore visa myself online as a tourist?

No — ICA's online visa e-Service (SAVE) only accepts submissions from a Singapore-based local contact with Singpass, an authorised visa agent, or a Singapore Overseas Mission; the traveller cannot file it directly.

Is there a limit on how much cash I can bring into Singapore?

Travellers carrying cash or bearer negotiable instruments exceeding S$20,000 (or foreign currency equivalent) must make a CBNI declaration.

Visa Policy

Singapore Visa & SGAC Policy for Thai Citizens

Singapore's visa policy for Thai citizens requires advance application before travel. The embassy visa process requires submission to the nearest Singapore consulate or embassy. The government fee of $0 is set by Singapore immigration authorities and is subject to change. PassportsAndVisas.com monitors policy updates daily and will notify you of any fee changes after your application is submitted.

Rush processing is available for travelers with imminent departure dates. The SG Arrival Card (SGAC) is issued, and the 30-day stay period begins on arrival.

Travel Context

Traveling to Singapore from Thailand — What to Know Before You Go

Planning a trip to Singapore from Thailand involves a few key logistics beyond the visa. Direct flights are available from major Thailand hubs to Singapore's main international airports, with flight times varying depending on your departure city. We recommend booking refundable tickets until your visa is approved — PassportsAndVisas.com's service fee is charged only after visa approval, so you are not committed financially before your visa is confirmed.

Passport preparation is the most important step. Your Thailand passport must have at least 6 months of validity remaining beyond your departure date from Singapore, and at least 2 blank pages for entry stamps. If your passport is expiring soon, PassportsAndVisas.com can expedite Thailand passport renewal — often faster than standard government processing times.

Once your Singapore visa is approved, you will receive a PDF confirmation by email. Print this document and carry it with your passport — some Singapore border officials require a physical copy, even for eVisas. Save a digital backup on your phone as well. Your visa details will also be linked to your passport number in Singapore's immigration database.

Application Guide

What Thai Citizens Need Before Applying

Applying for a Singapore visa as a Thai citizen through PassportsAndVisas.com takes 5–10 minutes online. You will need your Thailand passport (valid for 6+ months), a digital passport photo meeting Singapore's exact specifications, and your travel dates. Our system guides you through each field and flags potential errors before submission.

The most common reason Thai citizens face Singapore visa rejection is passport photo non-compliance. Singapore requires a white background, the size shown on the government portal dimensions, taken within the last 6 months, with no glasses. Our proprietary photo-check system automatically validates your photo against Singapore's requirements before we submit — catching the errors that cause the majority of preventable rejections.

After submission, your application is reviewed by a Thai-specialist on our team — someone familiar with the specific patterns that trigger scrutiny for Thailand passport holders. We submit to Singapore Immigration within 2 hours of receiving your complete file. You will receive email updates throughout the process, and your approved visa PDF will be delivered to your inbox — typically within 1 business days.
