Singapore arrival card: free, within 3 days

Singapore's ICA says all travellers must submit the SG Arrival Card with electronic health declaration before arriving, with exceptions such as transit without clearing immigration.

You submit it within 3 days before you arrive, including the day of arrival. Submitting is free, and ICA doesn't endorse any commercial entity that charges a fee for it.

Example

Illustrative. Arriving on 12 March: you can submit from 10 March. Keep the acknowledgement email.

Important

The card is not a visa. Check the visa guidelines for your passport separately. If your health status changes, update the card. A false declaration is an offence.

Before you fly

  • ☐ Check if you need a visa
  • ☐ Use the SGAC e-Service or MyICA app
  • ☐ Submit in the 3-day window
  • ☐ Keep the acknowledgement email
