We recommend that you check this page regularly and the FCDO advice here https://www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice/singapore

Entry requirements

Passport validity Passports should be valid for 6 months from the date of arrival in Singapore. Any damaged or missing passport pages could lead to refusal of entry and detainment.

Visa requirements

General UK nationals do not need a visa for visits to Singapore. The Immigration and Checkpoints Authority decides who can enter Singapore and how long they can stay.

Border control All arrivals in Singapore must complete an electronic SG Arrival Card in the 3 days before they enter Singapore. This online form asks for travel details and a health declaration. It is illegal to submit a false declaration. Biometric information is also recorded and scanned when you enter and depart Singapore (iris, facial and fingerprints).

COVID-19 rules

There are no COVID-19 vaccination requirements for travellers entering Singapore.
