How to get a Singapore SG Arrival Card as a Chinese citizen

The relationship between Singapore and China has evolved significantly in 2024, with new visa policies making travel between these nations more accessible than ever.

As a Chinese citizen planning to visit Singapore, understanding the current visa requirements and the SG Arrival Card is essential for a smooth journey.

Current visa requirements for Chinese nationals

Chinese passport holders don't need to apply for a visa to travel to Singapore. However, other entry rules apply.

Do I need an SG Arrival Card as a Chinese passport holder?

Yes. The Singapore SG Arrival Card and Health Declaration is a mandatory document that confirms you're medically cleared to enter the country and have proof of medical coverage.

This is not a visa, but a simple registration for entry to the country.

"We've noticed that applicants who submit their SG Arrival Card at least 72 hours before travel have a smoother entry experience at immigration." - Catherine Thurtle, iVisa travel expert

Common challenges and solutions for Chinese citizens

While applying for a Singapore SG Arrival Card has become more streamlined, we understand that Chinese citizens may face certain challenges.

Here's how we address the most common concerns:

Document submission:

• Passport validity check: Our experts check your details against your passport and make sure it has the correct validity.

• Photo specifications review: We make sure your photo meets the government requirements.

• Supporting document verification: Your files are checked for completeness and the correct formats.

• Translation assistance when needed.

Catherine recommends: "We've noticed that applications with clear, high-resolution document scans have a significantly higher first-time approval rate."

Technical issues:

• Government site is down: We offer a quick online process through our website or mobile app.

Travelers are strongly encouraged to submit their SG Card before arriving in Singapore, as those who have not done so will be required to fill in and submit their form electronically before they can proceed for immigration clearance. This will unnecessarily delay their immigration clearance.

"The arrival card website states a $10k fine if not filled out, plus the SIA customer service also said he cannot confirm physical arrival card forms at the airport." - Pietra L., recent traveler
