Singapore visitor visas, prepared right for Indian travellers.

Almost all Indian passport holders travelling to Singapore for tourism, visiting family or short business need an entry visa. The standard route is the short-stay tourist / social visit e-Visa, which is the visa we prepare and file.

A small number of Indian travellers may qualify for facilitated transit (for example, certain travellers transiting to or from specific third countries), but for a genuine holiday, family visit or business trip, you should plan on a full visitor visa. Do not rely on transit shortcuts for an actual visit.

Indians apply for the short-stay tourist e-Visa through VFS or an authorised agent, and decisions usually take about 3 to 5 working days. The full document list for your situation, the current government and VFS fees, the reasons files get refused and the free SG Arrival Card are all on one page:

Singapore visitor visa from India: documents, fee and process

Most first trips centre on Marina Bay (Gardens by the Bay, the Marina Bay Sands SkyPark, Merlion Park), Sentosa Island (Universal Studios Singapore, S.E.A. Aquarium, beaches), Orchard Road for shopping, Little India and Chinatown for food and culture, and the Singapore Zoo / Night Safari. The city is compact and the MRT metro makes it easy to get around without a car.

English is an official language and is widely spoken, which makes Singapore an especially comfortable first overseas trip for Indian families.

Singapore has a large, long-established Indian community and is one of the most India-friendly cities in Asia: Little India, widely available Indian food (including plentiful vegetarian and Jain options), Hindu and Sikh places of worship, and direct flights from most major Indian metros. The climate is hot and humid year-round, with frequent short tropical showers; pack light, breathable clothing and an umbrella.

Do Indians need a visa for Singapore? Yes. Indian passport holders need an entry visa for Singapore. It is issued as an e-Visa and must be lodged through an authorised agent or a Singapore mission. There is no visa-on-arrival and no walk-in tourist visa for Indians.

How long can I stay in Singapore on a tourist visa? The visa controls entry; the stay is decided by the ICA officer on arrival. Most tourists receive a social visit pass of up to 30 days, which may be shorter than the visa's overall validity.

How much is the Singapore visa fee? The Singapore visa fee is INR 2,100 (S$30) per applicant, plus the VFS service charge of INR 1,534 (INR 1,300 + GST). Our preparation fee is shown at the top of this page (18% GST included), with these third-party fees passed through at cost.

How long does the Singapore visa take? Usually about 3 – 5 working days. Apply two to three weeks before travel to leave a buffer.

Is the Singapore Arrival Card the same as the visa? No. The Singapore Arrival Card (SGAC) is a free online immigration declaration submitted within three days before arrival. It is separate from, and additional to, your visa, and must be done before you fly.

Can I get a multiple-entry Singapore visa? Singapore can issue multiple-entry visas with validity of up to about two years on appropriate profiles, often for applicants with good travel history. The 30-day-per-visit stay limit still applies on each entry.

Can I work in Singapore on a visitor visa? No. The visitor / social visit visa is for tourism, family visits and short business meetings only, not employment. Working in Singapore requires a separate work pass, which is not a service we provide.

My visa was refused: what now? Identify the exact reason, strengthen the file (usually funds, ties or itinerary consistency), and reapply with an honest, complete application.
