Overview

Short-stay entry visa for nationals of visa-required countries (e.g. India, China, CIS), submitted online by a Singapore sponsor for SGD 30.

Singapore's e-Visa is an online entry permit issued by the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA) for nationals of designated countries — including India, China, CIS states, and Hong Kong/Macao travel-document holders — visiting for tourism, business meetings, or social purposes.

Applications are submitted by a Singapore local contact via SingPass/CorpPass or by an authorised visa agent. The non-refundable fee is SGD 30, and ICA typically processes applications within 3 working days. The duration of stay is set by the e-Pass granted at the checkpoint (typically up to 30 days) and confers no right to work, study, or seek residency.

This visa is ideal for short-term business or social visitors from visa-required countries with a Singapore-based sponsor and no intent to work or settle.

Advantages & Considerations

Key Benefits

  • Fully online application via ICA SAVE e-Service — no embassy visit required
  • Fast turnaround: typically processed within 3 working days
  • Low fixed fee of SGD 30, payable by credit/debit card or internet banking
  • Single visa covers tourism, business meetings, conferences, and social visits
  • Approved e-Visa is digital — no passport endorsement needed
  • Multiple-entry visas available for eligible applicants
  • Dependants may travel on their own concurrent e-Visa applications

Worth Knowing

  • Cannot be filed directly by the traveller — requires a Singapore local contact (SingPass/CorpPass) or authorised visa agent
  • Length of stay is set by ICA officers at the checkpoint via the e-Pass, not by the visa itself (typically up to 30 days)
  • Valid visa does not guarantee entry — admission remains at officer discretion
  • Apply within 30 days prior to arrival; extensions require a separate Short-Term Visit Pass application
  • Confers no right to work, study, or seek residency in Singapore
  • Applicant cannot self-submit — a Singapore-based sponsor or authorised agent is mandatory
