Key Requirements

  • Passport valid at least six months on entry and a copy of its biodata page
  • Signed Form 14A
  • Recent passport-sized colour photo taken within three months
  • Form V39A or other supporting documents as required by the processing mission
  • Meet entry requirements, including sufficient funds and onward/return travel where applicable

Step-by-Step Application Process

  1. 1

    Choose your responsible Singapore mission and an authorised agent, or use an eligible local contact/strategic partner through ICA

  2. 2

    Prepare Form 14A, passport copy, photo and any mission-specific supporting documents

  3. 3

    Pay the non-refundable processing fee and applicable agent charges

  4. 4

    Allow the published processing time and additional time if requested; approval is not guaranteed

  5. 5

    Obtain the approved eVisa from the agent/contact and check its entry validity

  6. 6

    Before arrival, meet current entry requirements and follow the stay granted on your visit pass

Documents Required

  • Signed Form 14A
  • Passport biodata copy; passport valid six months from entry
  • Colour photograph taken within three months
  • Letter of introduction and other supporting evidence if required by your mission
  • Translations and original/copy documents where required

Pro Tips

  • Use the responsible mission’s current authorised-agent list
  • Apply within 30 days before intended arrival, as ICA advises
  • New Delhi says you need not buy a flight ticket before applying; prepaid bookings are at your own risk
  • Check your actual visit-pass expiry after arrival rather than assuming the visa validity is your stay allowance

Important Notes

  • • ICA permits submission by a local contact/strategic partner; Indian missions also publish authorised-agent procedures
  • • VFTF can permit up to 96 hours only for eligible third-country transit with a qualifying document and onward air/sea ticket; ICA decides admission and extensions are prohibited
  • • A visa permits travel to seek entry; it does not guarantee admission or a fixed stay
  • • Diplomatic, official and service Indian passports are visa-exempt
  • • Fees and document procedures vary by mission; check the jurisdiction processing your application
