Singapore visa for Indians
Visa required
Coming soon Filing is not open for Singapore yet. The note below is what we have already sourced. Use the enquiry if you want to be told when filing opens. Do not put a passport number in it.
Singapore's Immigration & Checkpoints Authority, page updated 28 October 2026, lists India among places whose travel documents need a valid Singapore entry visa.
ICA states a visa is pre-entry permission, not a guarantee of entry. Officers at the checkpoint decide. ICA does not take visa applications at the counter.
If you do not have a local contact with Singpass or Corppass, ICA says to apply through an authorised visa agent appointed by a Singapore Overseas Mission, or at the mission.
The SG Arrival Card is not a visa. ICA says you must still submit it within 3 days before arrival, with an email address, because the visit pass is sent by email.
ICA also describes a Visa Free Transit Facility for Indian nationals. Eligibility is on the same ICA page. It is not a visa waiver for a normal visit.
Visa types we could source
- Entry visa. Required for a travel document issued by India, on ICA's list. The stay you receive is the e-Pass at the checkpoint, not the visa's validity.
- Visa Free Transit Facility. ICA lists India among nationalities that may qualify. Read the criteria on the ICA page. This is not permission to enter for a holiday.
Documents named by the official source
- An individually issued passport. ICA says collective travel documents are not accepted, for any age.
How to apply
- Read the ICA visa guidelines and confirm India is still on the visa-required list.
- Apply through a Singapore Overseas Mission or an authorised visa agent. Do not plan to apply at the airport counter.
- Submit the SG Arrival Card within 3 days before arrival and keep the email address you used.
