Singapore Entry Requirements, Singapore

People from most countries can visit Singapore as a tourist without needing a visa. The nationals of the European Union, Norway, Switzerland and the United States are allowed 90 days visa-free stay in Singapore.

Nationalities requiring visa

As of time of writing (August 2012), citizens of the following countries will need a visa. If you are a national of these countries, you must obtain your visa in advance, before arriving in Singapore. Having a visa does not automatically gain you entry into Singapore. The Immigration & Checkpoints Authority has the final say at the Singapore checkpoint whether or not to allow entry, judging each on a case-to-case basis.

For more details of entry requirements, visit the official page of the Immigration & Checkpoints Authority.

Vaccination for Singapore

If most cases, you do not need a vaccination for entering Singapore. The only instance you would need a vaccination is if you were in a country where yellow fever is endemic up to six days before you arrive in Singapore.

Hepatitis A and B are prevalent in Singapore, so you might want to get a hepatitis jab before coming. The country does suffer from dengue fever epidemics from time to time, but there is no vaccine for that - you just have to take care about mosquito bites and use necessary repellants.

Getting travel insurance would be advisable, so that if you should fall sick, your insurance can pay for medical services in Singapore.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
