Essentials in Singapore

Visitors must have a valid passport for at least six months beyond the date of entry into Singapore. Travellers from the USA, UK, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, South Africa, and most European countries automatically receive a 30-day tourist visa on entry if arriving by air, or a 14-day visa if arriving by land or sea. A return/onwards plane ticket and evidence of a healthy bank account may be requested. It is important to remember the country’s culture of fines, with heavy fines being given out for jaywalking, littering, and smoking in public places.
