Singapore visa for Ukrainians 2026

Yes. Ukrainian citizens travelling on ordinary passports need a Singapore entry visa before an ordinary visit. ICA exempts holders of Ukrainian diplomatic, official and service passports, but that exemption does not cover an ordinary passport.

The entry visa is permission to travel to Singapore and ask to enter. It is not the free SG Arrival Card, a Visit Pass or a guarantee of admission. ICA officers make the final entry decision at the checkpoint.

For a business or social visit, prepare a completed and signed Form 14A, a recent passport-sized colour photo taken within the last three months and a copy of the passport biodata page. The passport must be valid for at least six months from the planned date of entry.

ICA may request more evidence. Documents that are not in English need the original and an official English translation, with copies for ICA to retain. Keep names, passport details, travel dates, accommodation and contact information consistent across the file.

An application may be submitted online by a strategic partner or a genuine local contact in Singapore. Another official path is a Singapore Overseas Mission or its authorised visa agent where that procedure is available for the applicant's place of residence.

Form V39A, the Letter of Introduction for Visa Application, is an additional document that ICA may request case by case. Do not buy a signature or invent a sponsor. Confirm the permitted filing route first, then prepare only the documents that route requires.

ICA lists Ukraine for the Visa-Free Transit Facility. A Ukrainian national may be eligible for up to 96 hours only when travelling through Singapore to or from a third country, holding a valid onward air ticket that leaves within 96 hours and departing Singapore by air.

VFTF is assessed at the point of entry and cannot be extended. It is not a substitute for a visa when Singapore is the destination rather than a genuine transit stop. Check the live ICA conditions before relying on it.

A Ukrainian ordinary-passport holder living temporarily in Poland or Germany still checks the Singapore rule for the Ukrainian passport. Residence may determine which permitted filing route serves the applicant, but it does not turn the ordinary passport into a visa-exempt document.

If the itinerary is a return holiday to Singapore, use the entry-visa route. Consider VFTF only for a genuine journey through Singapore to or from a third country, and verify every live condition before relying on it.

ICA's visa processing fee is S$30 and is not refundable. ICA says applications are generally processed within three working days, excluding the day of submission. Some cases take longer, and every application is considered on its own merits.

For eligible cases we support, VisatoSingapore's customer-facing estimate is 3–4 working days after submission to ICA. This is not a promise of approval or a fixed e-Visa issue time. ICA may take longer.

Compare every name with the passport, including its order and Latin spelling. Recheck the passport number, dates, accommodation, occupation, funds evidence and any local-contact or mission paperwork. If a translated document uses a different spelling, resolve it before filing.

VisatoSingapore can prepare Form 14A and review documents for eligible cases. We are an independent support service, not ICA or MFA, and we do not sell local contacts. ICA decides the visa application and Singapore officers decide entry.

If ICA approves the application, the local contact, strategic partner or authorised visa agent can print the e-Visa through ICA's e-Service. Keep the e-Visa with the passport when travelling; it is not a visa on arrival and does not replace checkpoint clearance.

Submit the free SG Arrival Card separately within the official arrival window. SGAC is an arrival declaration, not a visa application. After entry, the Visit Pass or e-Pass records the stay granted by ICA.
