Visa types

Entry conditions

  • Immigration grants a stay of up to 30 days on arrival, stamped electronically against the passport

Fees & processing time

  • Entry on arrival: free of charge
  • SG Arrival Card: free to submit online

Tips for United Kingdom travelers

  • Submit your SG Arrival Card online in the 3 days before arrival to avoid delays at immigration
  • Singapore enforces strict laws on items such as chewing gum, e-cigarettes and drugs - check restrictions before travelling
  • Changi Airport immigration is fast for most UK travellers using the automated clearance lanes where eligible
  • The British High Commission in Singapore can assist with consular matters
  • If you need to extend your stay, apply to the ICA before the current 30-day period expires rather than after
