Singapore visa for Algerians 2026

Algerian passport holders need a Singapore entry visa before ordinary travel. ICA does not list an ordinary passport exemption on the Algeria page, so verify any non-ordinary travel document directly on ica.gov.sg or with the relevant Singapore Overseas Mission before preparing Form 14A.

A Singapore entry visa is pre-entry permission to travel and seek entry. It is separate from SG Arrival Card, and it does not guarantee entry or a fixed stay period; ICA officers at the checkpoint decide the Visit Pass period and whether the traveller may enter.

For business or social visits, ICA lists a completed and signed Form 14A as the core application form. If the application is approved, the local contact, strategic partner or authorised visa agent can use ICA's e-Service to print a copy of the e-Visa.

The e-Visa is not a visa on arrival. Travellers from visa-required nationalities should prepare the application before travel and keep the approved e-Visa with the passport when travelling to Singapore.

ICA's Algeria guidance lists a completed Form V39A, the Letter of Introduction for Visa Application, as part of the document set. ICA says the LOI may be issued by a local contact in Singapore who is a Singapore citizen or permanent resident, at least 21 years old, with a Singpass account.

For business visits, the local contact must act on behalf of the Singapore-registered business entity. If you cannot secure an LOI from a local contact, ICA says LOIs issued by your Embassy can also be accepted for social and business visits. Do not use a hotel address or anonymous template as a substitute for a real LOI route.

The official document set includes Form 14A, a recent passport-sized colour photograph taken within the last three months, a passport biodata-page copy valid for at least six months from the date of entry, and the LOI route where required. ICA may ask for additional documents case by case.

Documents in languages other than English may need originals, official translations and copies for ICA to retain. Consistency matters: name order, passport number, travel dates, host details, accommodation, business purpose and funds evidence should not force the reviewer to guess.

ICA lists a non-refundable S$30 processing fee and says visa applications are processed within three working days, excluding the day of submission. ICA also notes that some applications may take longer and that each case is considered on its own merits, so use this as planning guidance, not a guarantee.

Applications can be submitted online through a strategic partner or local contact in Singapore, or through the nearest Singapore Overseas Mission or its authorised visa agent where that procedure applies. Because mission and authorised-agent procedures can change, verify the live route before relying on a summary or booking around a tight timeline.

Confirm that the LOI follows the accepted local-contact or Embassy route described above and that the contact can be reached. Then compare the passport details, photo, translations, accommodation and trip dates with Form 14A.

For a social visit, a Singapore local contact must be a citizen or permanent resident aged at least 21 with Singpass. For a business visit, the contact acts for the Singapore-registered business. The host named in Form V39A should match the purpose and contact details elsewhere in the file.

If there is no eligible local contact, ICA's Algeria guidance accepts an Embassy-issued LOI for social or business visits. Confirm how to obtain that letter before paying for the rest of the application; a hotel booking or purchased signature does not replace it.

Use the Latin spelling printed in the Algerian travel document on Form 14A, the LOI and bookings. Official English translations of French- or Arabic-language records should use the same spelling or explain a difference clearly.

VisatoSingapore can prepare and review an eligible file, but it does not issue LOIs, act as ICA or promise approval. ICA decides the application and checkpoint entry.
