If your nationality is not listed above, you most likely do not need a visa for a short visit — only the free SG Arrival Card. Confirm your own case on ica.gov.sg before you travel.

Most travellers entering Singapore must submit the free SG Arrival Card before arrival; ICA lists exceptions for some transit passengers and eligible residents.
