Visas/ETA Arrival Card

Many international visitors can enter Singapore without a visa. Citizens of more than 150 countries, including the US, UK, EU member states, Australia and Kenya, can visit visa-free for short stays. Some nationalities do need to get a visa before they travel.

• Check whether you need a visa for your nationality on the Immigration & Checkpoints Authority (ICA) website: ica.gov.sg

• If you need a visa, apply 4–6 weeks before travel through ICA's e-Visa process or a Singapore overseas mission

• Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the date you arrive

• Submit your SG Arrival Card (SGAC) online at ica.gov.sg or in the MyICA Mobile app. This is required for every traveller, including visa-free visitors. You can submit it up to 3 days before you arrive. It's free. Please avoid third-party websites that charge a fee.

• Note: Since January 2026, airlines check passengers against ICA records before departure. If you haven't submitted your SG Arrival Card, or you don't meet the entry requirements, you may not be allowed to board your flight.

If you need a visa, please apply well before you travel. Processing times vary, and we want you to be able to join us without delay. Everyone should plan to submit their SG Arrival Card in the 3 days before arrival on 18 November.
