Do you need a visa for Singapore?
![singapore tourist visa for australian citizens Man gazing out of the window of a boat on the harbour in Singapore](https://www.intrepidtravel.com/v3/assets/blt0de87ff52d9c34a8/bltf1943979e698a4ff/65bab82f68334a0791c62626/Intrepid-travel-Young-man-exploring-city-and-looking-out-from-river-boat-in-Singapore.shutterstock-1180651789-2560.jpg?branch=prd&width=75&quality=35&blur=1&format=pjpg&auto=webp)
The short answer is yes and no. Passport holders from the below countries (among others) are required to obtain an entry visa before their arrival in Singapore :
People's Republic of Korea
People's Republic of China
For the full list of countries, visit the Immigration & Checkpoints Authority website.
Please note that obtaining an entry visa does not automatically mean you'll be granted entry into Singapore. Upon your arrival, you'll still have to clear immigration with ICA officers the only ones able to grant immigration passes for entry into Singapore. This also applies to passport holders who don't require entry visas.
If you're not travelling from one of the aforementioned countries then you don't need to apply for a Singapore visa, however, all travellers (including ones who need to apply for a visa) need to apply for a Singapore Arrival Card which can be obtained online. Find out more information regarding Singapore Arrival Card requirements and how to apply.
There are a couple of ways to apply for a Singapore visa; online and by visiting an embassy or consulate. Applying for a visa online is by far the easiest option and doesn't require a lot of time to complete.
1. Fill out the online visa application form found on the Immigration & Checkpoints Authority website. Make sure you proofread and double-check that all your information is correct (especially your email address and passport details) before proceeding to the next stage in your application process. Please note that supporting documentation may be needed, in which case an Immigration official will contact you about further requirements.
2. After submitting your eVisa application, you'll need to pay for the visa by filling out your preferred method of payment. The cost of a Singapore visa can depend on the type of visa, pass, or permit you're submitting for, but short-term visitors can expect to pay SGD$30. All Singapore visa payments are non-refundable.
3. Once your visa's been paid for you'll receive a confirmation email stating your application has been submitted. It's common for visa applications to take up to 4 days to be approved. If your application is approved your visa will be emailed in PDF format and will contain a unique identification number needed to gain entry into Singapore. There's no need to print out this document to take with you to the airport as it's already uploaded to Singapore Immigration's system and will automatically appear when you visit a passport control officer as part of the immigration process once you've landed.
If you're a passport holder from a country that doesn't require a visa then you can stay in Singapore for a maximum of 30 days (without requiring a visa).
If you're a passport holder from Australia, New Zealand, Norway, South Korea, Switzerland, the United States, or if you're a European Union citizen, you can stay in Singapore for a maximum of 90 days before having to acquire a visa.

ENTRY VISA TO SINGAPORE
A Singapore visa is not an immigration pass. It is a pre-entry permission for the holder of a valid Singapore visa to travel to, and seek entry, into Singapore. The grant of an immigration pass will be determined by the ICA officers at the point of entry. Possession of a valid visa alone does not guarantee entry into Singapore.
The period of stay granted is shown on the visit pass endorsement given on your passport and it is not tied to the validity of your visa.

Singapore is famously known for being a state of rules, so check to see whether you need a visa for your visit © 2p2play / Shutterstock
A visit to Singapore is a glimpse into the future. From its modern and almost surreal airport to its eye-catching and ever-changing skyline, Singapore is continuously innovative.
Even though the tourist entry requirements for most nationalities are straightforward, Singapore is known for its commitment to the rules. Here's what you need to know about visas for Singapore, including what types of visas are available and the rules you’ll need to navigate for trouble-free travel.
What you need to know about visas in Singapore
The visa requirements for travel to Singapore depend on your nationality, how many days you'll spend in the country and why you're visiting. Citizens of 164 different countries can enter Singapore as tourists for a period of 30 or 90 days without a visa.
Passport holders from the European Union, Switzerland, Norway, the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, South Korea, Japan and the United States get 90 days visa-free in Singapore, while citizens of some other countries can stay a maximum of 30 days without applying for a visa.
Travelers from countries that aren't on the visa waiver list have to apply for either an e-visa or a regular tourist visa, depending on their nationality. While e-visa applications can be easily done at any online e-visa provider and have a processing time of just one day, regular visas are a bit more involved, requiring travelers to get in contact with their nearest Singaporean diplomatic mission or apply for a visa through an agent.
![singapore tourist visa for australian citizens The famous Rain Vortex inside Changi Airport in Singapore](https://lp-cms-production.imgix.net/2020-09/shutterstockRF_1402131020.jpg?w=1920&auto=format&q=75)
Singapore's Frequent Traveller Programme
The Frequent Traveller Programme allows visitors from Australia, China, Hong Kong, Japan, South Korea, Malaysia, New Zealand, Thailand, the United Kingdom and the United States to use the automated clearance facilities at immigration, a process that significantly simplifies entering Singapore and helps frequent travelers avoid long wait times at peak hours.
What else do you need when visiting Singapore?
All tourists arriving in Singapore must have a valid passport (with a minimum validity of six months at the time of departure), sufficient funds for their stay in Singapore and an SG Arrival Card.
Unlike most other Southeast Asian countries, Singapore does not have a paper-based Disembarkation Card to be filled out on arrival in the country. Instead, all travelers (including those enrolled in the Frequent Traveller Programme) are required to submit an SG Arrival Card online, which asks for basic personal information, trip details and a health declaration. Obtain an SG Arrival Card on the MyICA phone app or the official ICA website .
All travelers, including residents, who arrive in Singapore from countries with a risk of yellow fever transmission must present a yellow fever vaccine certificate. Travelers who do not have a valid yellow fever vaccination certificate are liable to be quarantined at their own cost for up to six days.

Will I get a stamp in my passport?
Travelers passing through immigration at Changi Airport receive an electronic Visit Pass (e-Pass) via email rather than a passport stamp. The e-Pass contains details of the visit pass granted, including the maximum number of days and the last day you're allowed to stay in Singapore.

Australia entry requirements for Singaporean Citizens
All Singaporean nationals must obtain a visa to travel to Australia . When visiting on holiday, for business, or when transiting through the country, they can apply for the Australian Electronic Travel Authority (ETA) .
You can apply for this convenient travel authorisation rapidly through the online platform.
Basic information about ETA for Singapore
The Australian ETA for Singapore is an electronic visa that can be obtained online in a matter of minutes.
Since Singaporean applicants receive their visa by email , there is no need to contact an Australian embassy or consulate before travelling.
![australia entry requirements for singaporean australia entry requirements for singaporean](https://www.visitaustraliavisas.com/user/sites/www.visitaustraliavisas.com/pages/02.entry-requirements/singaporean-citizens/_fullwidth2/australia-entry-requirements-for-singaporean.png)
Permitted travel purposes with an Australian ETA from Singapore
Singaporean travellers can use the ETA when travelling to Australia for one of the following reasons:
- Tourism or leisure
- To see family or friends
- Business (meetings, conferences, seminars, courses)
- Short-term volunteering (this must not be the main reason for travelling to Australia)
Can Singaporeans use an ETA to work in Australia?
No. Singaporean nationals cannot use their ETA to engage in paid work in Australia.
Can Singaporean citizens get a visa on arrival in Australia?
Unlike some other countries, Australia does not offer visas on arrival. This means that travellers from Singapore cannot get an ETA at the airport . They must hold a valid visa before arriving at the border crossing.
Health and safety requirements to get an Australian ETA from Singapore
Singaporeans who intend to travel to Australia must be in good health . They should not require extensive treatments that would restrict access to medical services for Australian citizens. In addition, they must not suffer from medical conditions that could compromise the safety of the Australian population.
Other than meeting the above health requirements, Singaporeans visiting Australia must not have a criminal record with serious offences or convictions with a prison sentence of 12 months or more.
Singaporean citizens are required to answer health and security-related questions as part of their ETA application process.
Australian ETA processing time for Singaporean applicants
Singaporean candidates will receive an email confirmation as soon as they submit the application.
The Australian ETA processing time is up to 24 hours , unless there are mistakes or discrepancies in the application form. In this case, candidates are asked to start a new application process and pay another visa processing fee.
What should Singaporean travellers do after they receive the ETA for Australia?
Singaporean applicants are advised to print the Australian ETA . They should be prepared to present it, along with a valid passport, at the border crossing.
Please note that having an ETA does not guarantee entry into Australia from Singapore. This right is determined by the border immigration officials at the port of entry, after having examined the passenger’s travel documentation.
Travellers from Singapore can check the status of their ETA application at any time by following the link included in the confirmation email.
![](http://adsite.space/777/templates/cheerup/res/banner1.gif)

The Australian ETA is a multiple entry visa that can be used for any number of trips within its validity period. The duration of each trip must not exceed 90 days (3 months).
Can Singaporean nationals renew their ETA for Australia?
No. The Australian ETA cannot be renewed. Singaporean visitors who would like to extend their trip have two different options:
- They can apply for another ETA from outside of Australia at least two weeks before their visa expiration date
- They can apply for another type of Australian visa suitable for longer stays
What are the consequences of overstaying an Australian ETA for Singapore?
Overstaying an Australian ETA is strictly against the law . Depending on the number of days overstayed, Singaporean travellers may be required to pay fines and even lose the right to obtain another Australian visa in the future.

Singapore Changi Airport
Is There a Singapore Visa On Arrival? Everything You Need To Know
Goh Jun Cheng
October 11, 2023
![singapore tourist visa for australian citizens](https://singaporeairport.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/sg-arrival-card-singapore-evisa.jpg)
Singapore is a popular travel destination known for its stunning architecture, diverse cultures, mouthwatering cuisine, and reputation as one of the safest and cleanest cities in the world. Many travelers wonder if they can get a visa on arrival when landing in Singapore, or if they need to apply for a visa beforehand.
In this in-depth blog post, we will cover everything you need to know about getting a Singapore visa on arrival versus applying for a visa beforehand.
Table of Contents
Overview of Singapore Visa Requirements
In general, citizens of most countries need to obtain a visa before traveling to Singapore. There are a few exceptions where travelers can obtain a visa on arrival, which we will cover in the next section. Singapore has three main types of visas:
- Tourist visa – For short-term leisure travel of up to 30 days.
- Business visa – For business trips, corporate events, seminars, etc. Valid up to 3 months.
- Work visa – For foreigners seeking employment in Singapore. Typically valid 1-2 years.
The visa application process entails filling out an online form, providing supporting documents, paying a visa fee, and in some cases attending an in-person interview at the Singapore embassy. Processing times range from 1 week to 1 month depending on nationality.
Countries That Qualify for Visa On Arrival
Citizens from the following countries can obtain a 30-day tourist visa upon arrival at the airport in Singapore:
- United States
- Most European countries
- New Zealand
In addition, citizens of the following countries can get a 90-day tourist visa on arrival with prior approval obtained online:
The visa on arrival is only valid if traveling by air and entering Singapore through Changi Airport. Travelers who enter by land from Malaysia or elsewhere must get a visa before arrival.
How to Get Singapore Visa On Arrival
If you qualify for a visa on arrival based on your nationality, the process is straightforward:
Step 1: Check Eligibility
Double check the government website to confirm your nationality is eligible for on-arrival visa before your trip. Eligibility can change periodically.
Step 2: Have Documents Ready
You will need to provide your valid passport, a printed return ticket or onward journey ticket, and sufficient funds to cover your stay.
Step 3: Complete Disembarkation/Embarkation Card
This arrival card will be distributed during your flight – fill it out completely before landing.
Step 4: Get Stamped
Proceed to the designated visa on arrival lane after disembarking the plane. Queue up and when it’s your turn, submit your arrival card and passport to the immigration officer. They will review your documents and stamp your passport with entry permit valid for 30 or 90 days from arrival. The whole process takes only a few minutes if you have all your papers ready!
Why Get Visa Beforehand Instead?
While the visa on arrival option is great for its convenience, there are a few reasons you may want to consider arranging your Singapore visa beforehand:
- Pre-approval – With a visa issued ahead of time, there is no risk when you land that you will be denied entry for any reason.
- More validity – Visas issued by consulates are often valid for longer, such as 6 month tourist or 1 year business visas.
- Multiple entry – Pre-issued visas often permit multiple entries, while on-arrival visas are single entry.
- Save time – Get through immigration faster by having visa ready to go in passport versus having to wait in visa-on-arrival line.
- Documentation – Applying beforehand gives you more time to get any required documents translated or notarized if needed.
- Trip prep – Take care of visa early so it’s not something to worry about right before traveling.
So while the Singapore visa on arrival is great for short term or last minute trips, applying in advance has some advantages for many travelers.
Bottom Line
Citizens from the USA, Canada, Europe, Australia, NZ and several other countries can indeed get a tourist visa on arrival when entering Singapore by air through Changi airport. For travelers from other nations, or those looking to stay longer than 30 days on their first entry, applying for the necessary Singapore visa ahead of time is required.
Hopefully this guide has provided you with clarity on whether you can get a visa on arrival for your upcoming Singapore trip.

For starters, there are various kinds of visas that you can avail depending on your purpose and length of stay in Australia. But if you’re a Singapore passport holder, you are eligible to apply for an ETA visa (Subclass 601), otherwise, foreign nationals or expats living in Singapore can apply for a visit (Subclass e600) visa online through ImmiAccount or through the Australian Visa Application Centre (AVAC).
![singapore tourist visa for australian citizens](https://singaporeofw.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/How-to-Apply-for-an-Australian-Tourist-Visa-from-Singapore.png)
Applying for an Australian Tourist Visa – Step By Step Process:
Here are the steps and requirements for your Australian tourist visa application through the Australian Visa Application Centre (AVAC):
Requirements:
For the specified reason/s above- classified under Subclass 600 , all those who wish to visit Australia are required to completely fill out form 1419 which you can download here along with a copy of the Subclass 600 checklist which you can get here to apply for an Australian tourist visa. Also, consider preparing your visa application by as early as 3 months before your target travel date.
You will also need the following documents to support your tourist visa application:
- Important for first-time visitors to Australia : Prepare copies of your passport’s travel pages to establish your travel records and history.
- Provide any of the following: National Registration ID Card (NRIC) , Employment Pass, Social Visit Pass, Dependent Pass, Student Pass, or Work Permit
- A passport size photograph
- Note: It is best to wait for your visa to be approved first prior paying for your flight ticket to avoid any difficulties.
- For employed individuals: a letter from your employer indicating your employment status, your length of employment, salary and position, your approved leave dates, and whether your leave is compensated or not. If you plan to go on an extended leave from work, the letter should also indicate if your job would still be available to you on your return (specify business registration, if applicable). For those who have just recently started with a new job, consider preparing a similar document to support your recent employment and salary history.
- If you are unemployed and are married: present your marriage certificate, and documents that will serve as proof of your spouse’s employment status and income (as detailed in the previous point)
- If married or in a de facto spouse relationship where your spouse is also not concurrently applying for visa: prepare a copy of your spouse’s passport’s identity page.
Procedures:
- Identify the visa subclass that is appropriate for the purpose of your visit in Australia.
- Prepare all the required documents to support your application.
Note: Make sure to submit all supporting documents at the time of your application to avoid unnecessary delays .
- Prepare your payments for your application as well as for the service charges. To check the updated list of visa application fees and service charges, check out the VFS Global Website .
- Set an appointment online to submit your visa application and requirements (including your biometric data) at the AVAC.
Note: Applications sent by mail or through courier do not need to have an appointment schedule.
- Submit your visa application either by mail or in person. The Australian Visa Application Cantre can be located at:
135 Cecil Street #08-01 MYP Plaza Singapore 069536
As mentioned, filing your visa application should be done at least two months before your travel date. It’s also important that you turn in all the required documents at the time of your application.
And as a final tip: Remember that the seasons in Australia are quite the opposite from the Northern hemisphere so be properly advised.

Australian Visa and Entry Requirements FAQs
Learn about visa requirements for entry to Australia for tourism purposes with this list of frequently asked questions.
Please note this page is intended to provide general information only and does not constitute legal advice. Tourism Australia is not the Australian government visa granting authority. For information on visas to enter Australia, visitors should seek the most up-to-date information from Australian Government Department of Home Affairs .*
Ready to plan your trip? We're ready to welcome you! Here are some helpful tips for getting your visa sorted:
- Be sure to secure the appropriate visa before travelling to Australia. Use the Visa Finder to explore your options.
- Ensure all details are correct and provide all required documents when you apply. An incomplete or incorrect application can delay your visa.
- Submitting multiple applications at the same time can slow the process. For visitor visas, submit one application per person, including children.
- Questions? The Australian Government's Global Service Centre can help.
Australian Visa Information
Unless you are an Australian citizen, you will need a valid Australian visa to enter the country. New Zealand passport holders can apply for a visa upon arrival in the country. All other passport holders, regardless of age, must apply for a visa before leaving home. You can apply for a range of Australian visa types, including tourist visas and working holiday visas, via the ETA app or on the Department of Home Affairs website.
There are different Australian visa types available for travellers to Australia. Knowing which Australian visa to apply for depends on the length of your stay, your passport and the purpose of your visit. You’ll also need to meet certain financial and medical requirements, be outside of Australia when applying and maintain health insurance for the duration of your stay.
Electronic Travel Authority visa (subclass 601) This visa allows you to visit Australia as many times as you want, for up to a year, and stay for three months each visit. This visa is available to passport holders from a number of countries and regions, who live outside Australia. A step-by-step guide on how to apply is here .
All ETA-eligible passport holders must apply for an ETA using the Australian ETA app. Agents can assist you in the application process, but you must be physically present as a live facial image is required.
eVisitor (subclass 651) This is a free visa for multiple visits to Australia for tourism or business purposes for up to three months at a time within a 12-month period. This visa is available to passport holders from a number of European countries and it cannot be extended.
Visitor visa (subclass 600) The Visitor visa allows you to visit Australia, either for tourism or business purposes. It is open to all nationalities.

Australia to join US Global Entry program to cut travellers' airport wait times
Australian travellers will soon have access to the US' Global Entry and TSA PreCheck programs, which speed up customs and security clearances at American airports.
Foreign Minister Penny Wong says the necessary legislation will be introduced in the Australian parliament next year.
What's next?
From January, 1,000 frequent travellers will be able to apply, but the government says there are plans to expand eligibility later in 2025.
Australians will become eligible for easier passage through American airports with participation in the US Global Entry program set to begin early next year.
The program allows pre-approved, low-risk travellers from selected countries to use automated kiosks to speed up their processing times upon landing in the US.
They'll also get access to faster security screening for domestic flights.
American citizens can already use self-service "SmartGates" at Australian airports, but a plan to open up Global Entry to Australians stalled after being first flagged in 2018.
"It's good for Australian businesses, and it's good for our friendship," said Foreign Minister Penny Wong, who made the announcement in Washington DC.
"This program and our participation in it is a sign of our closeness and our trust."
A two-step process
Australia's participation in the Global Entry program will occur in two stages, with 1,000 frequent travellers able to apply from January 2025.
They'll need to have travelled to the US at least five times in the previous 12 months.
However, that requirement will be lifted when phase two begins and the number of Australians able to enrol becomes unlimited.
That second, expanded stage will require legislation to be passed through the Australian parliament, and is expected to begin "later" in 2025.
Australians approved for Global Entry will skip the general lines upon arriving at an American airport and will instead present at an automated kiosk.
They'll also get access to the Transportation Security Administration's (TSA) "PreCheck" program, which provides faster security screening for domestic US flights.
Who will be eligible?
The program will be open to Australian citizens who meet a set of requirements on both the Australian and US sides.
Applicants will be subject to a Nationally Coordinated Criminal History Check from the Australian Criminal Intelligence Commission.
Current or former members of the Australian Defence Force will be checked for military convictions.
The Department of Home Affairs will make a preliminary assessment on whether someone should be approved, but the final decision rests with US authorities.
Applicants can be denied for reasons such as having any criminal convictions or pending criminal charges, violations of customs laws in any country, or providing false information on the application form.
The US charges a non-refundable fee of $US100 ($154) per Global Entry application. If approved, it lasts for five years.
Australia will also charge applicants for the cost of processing background checks.
However, those fees haven't yet been set and they'll be waived for the 1,000 people who become eligible in phase one.
What's behind the delay?
The Global Entry program is already open to citizens of more than a dozen other countries, including the UK, Germany, Singapore, Bahrain and Brazil.
Australia and the US agreed to start working towards an agreement in 2018 but it was delayed due to the pandemic.
Asked to provide details on the hold-up, Senator Wong said she'd "asked the same question".
"I understand this was flagged many, many years ago, but didn't come to fruition," she said.
"It's the previous government, so you'd have to ask them, but I'm just pleased that we've managed to land it."
Senator Wong is in the US for the annual AUSMIN talks between Australian and US foreign and defence ministers.
