How to get a Singapore Tourist Visa

Disclaimer: An arrival card is not a visa. It cannot be used as a substitute for a visa and does not grant permission to enter any country. Travelers are responsible for obtaining the appropriate visa, if required, prior to arrival. The arrival card is for administrative purposes only and does not serve as a travel authorization or entry permit.

Singapore is one of the many countries that have adopted the electronic visa and some nationalities are eligible to get a Singapore visa online. However, you need to check your eligibility first. You can use the Visa Checker. You should know that 35 nationalities in the world can travel to Singapore visa-free, while only 15 are eligible for a Singapore eVisa. The Visa Checker will let you know in which category you are. Select your nationality on the left drag-down menu and choose Singapore on the right menu. The result will tell you what you need to know.
