Visa Details

Ordinary Indian passport holders normally need a visa for a Singapore visit. Applications may use an authorised agent or an eligible local contact/strategic partner through ICA. Airside transit needs no arrival immigration. A separate conditional VFTF permits up to 96 hours of entry for third-country transit with an eligible visa or long-term pass and onward air/sea ticket. Check the supporting-document validity and used single-journey return exception; ICA decides admission and no extension is allowed.

Airside transit without arrival immigration is separate from VFTF.

Entry is assessed by ICA and cannot be extended; this is not a general tourist-visa waiver.
