The Singapore eVisa is a crucial travel document for visitors from specific countries. Understanding its duration and validity is essential for planning your trip effectively.
Let's explore the key aspects of the Singapore eVisa validity and how iVisa can simplify your application process.
What is the Singapore eVisa?
The Singapore eVisa is an electronic travel authorization for visitors from select countries including Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Moldova, Russia, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Ukraine. It allows for a streamlined entry process into Singapore.
How long is my Singapore eVisa valid?
The eVisa is valid for 14, 30, or 90 days from the issue date. The exact amount depends on:
- your nationality
- purpose of visit
It's important to note that validity differs from your allowed length of stay

How long can you stay in Singapore with an eVisa?
Understanding the permitted duration of stay is crucial for planning your Singapore trip. Here's what you need to know:
- Your maximum stay can range from 14 to 30 days per entry
- The specific duration depends on your nationality
- Your passport will be stamped upon entry, indicating your allowed stay
" To avoid visa violations, we strongly recommend sticking to the permitted stay duration length you are granted on entry into Singapore.
If you're entering Singapore and then leaving and returning, you'll probably need a multiple-entry visa. However, if you are from a country that gets a visa on arrival then the rules are slightly different.
"Re-entering Singapore? Your 30-day visa-free access resets each time, as long as you have a valid onward ticket. Just remember to complete the SG Arrival Card each time you enter Singapore," advises Alyssa.
When to apply for the Singapore eVisa
Timing is essential when applying for your Singapore eVisa. Here's what you need to know:
- Apply at least 60 days before your planned arrival in Singapore
- iVisa offers an average application time of just 68 minutes
"Apply for your Singapore eVisa well before your planned travel dates. This allows time for any unexpected delays and gives you peace of mind," advises Alyssa Rinelli, our travel journalist.

Singapore SG Arrival Card: An additional requirement
In addition to the eVisa, all foreign visitors to Singapore must complete the SG Arrival Card.
Here's what you need to know:
- It's a mandatory registration form for immigration compliance and border control
- Must be completed within 3 days of your planned departure to Singapore
- Valid for a single trip to Singapore
It has two purposes:
-
First, it is a form containing all the formal immigration compliance with all Singapore rules.
-
Second, it contains important health-control information (in case a health emergency were to occur before your trip).
We can assist you with your eVisa and SG Arrival Card applications, ensuring a smooth entry into Singapore.
Combining your eVisa with the SG Arrival Card application
To ensure a smooth entry into Singapore, you'll need both your eVisa and the SG Arrival Card. Here's how they work together:
- eVisa: Provides authorization for entry into Singapore
- SG Arrival Card: Mandatory health and immigration declaration
- Timing: Complete the SG Arrival Card within 3 days of your departure to Singapore
- Validity: The SG Arrival Card is valid for a single trip
We at iVisa can assist you with both your eVisa and SG Arrival Card applications, ensuring all your travel documents are in order.
"Singapore entry is a breeze. I got my arrival card 2-3 days before going via iVisa. The rest of the process is automated. You just scan your passport and thumb and take a picture on entry. There's no human involvement unless they pull you aside for a rare hand luggage scan," explains Alyssa.
