Check Singapore e-Visa status and download the approved copy

To check your Singapore visit visa application status, open ICA SAVE and enter the application reference with the travel-document number. A passport or travel-document number on its own is not enough. If the visa is approved, get the e-Visa copy from the person or organisation that filed the application, or through the permitted ICA route. This page helps you choose the right route without collecting passport data.

What do you need to check?

Already applied for a visa?

Use the application reference and travel-document number to check the result with ICA.

Haven't applied yet?

Check whether the passport you will travel with needs an entry visa.

How to check if a Singapore e-Visa PDF is genuine

If someone sent you an e-Visa PDF, verify it against a copy retrieved through ICA SAVE rather than trusting the document's appearance. You need the application reference and travel-document number; the e-Visa number is different.

Follow the ICA verification steps

You only submitted SG Arrival Card

SG Arrival Card is not a visa. Visa-free visitors still meet ICA's other entry requirements and submit this free declaration where required. If your trip needs an entry visa, obtain it before travel; the SGAC receipt does not replace it.

No application reference? ICA retrieval guidance

Do not pay a fake status portal

A private website cannot turn a pending or refused Form 14A case into an approved e-Visa. Check with ICA, the local contact, strategic partner, authorised visa agent or Singapore Overseas Mission connected to the filing route.

A local contact or another agent filed it

Ask the person or organisation that submitted Form 14A for the application reference and approved e-Visa copy. You can use the reference with the travel-document number in ICA SAVE.

  1. Request the application reference and current status from the submitter.
  2. Confirm the passport number and name match the application exactly.
  3. Avoid duplicate applications unless the official route or submitter tells you to.

You need the official ICA status route

Use ICA's Check Status / Make Appointment page or SAVE when you need the official Singapore entry-visa result rather than a private status screen.

  1. Open the ICA status page and choose the Entry Visa route where shown.
  2. Enter the application reference and travel-document number exactly as submitted.
  3. Use only official ICA pages or the submitter connected to the case.

You only submitted SG Arrival Card

SG Arrival Card is not a visa. Visa-free visitors still meet ICA's other entry requirements and submit this free declaration where required. If your trip needs an entry visa, obtain it before travel; the SGAC receipt does not replace it.

  1. Do not treat an SG Arrival Card acknowledgement as a Singapore visa.
  2. Check whether your nationality needs an entry visa.
  3. Use the free ICA SG Arrival Card route close to travel where required.

Official status source

ICA's Check Status / Make Appointment page includes Entry Visa, and SAVE provides a public individual-application enquiry. Enter the visa application reference number and the applicant's travel-document number. If you do not have the reference, ask the original filer or contact ICA through its enquiry form with the applicant's name and passport number so ICA can help retrieve it.

Haven't applied yet?

This tracker only covers applications filed through VisatoSingapore. If you haven't started one, first check whether your passport needs a visa.

Start only if the passport needs a visa and a supported filing route is available.

Do not use this route to replace or duplicate an application that has already been filed.

Status and e-Visa retrieval by traveller market

Indian passport holders

For India-origin Form 14A cases, use ICA's SAVE enquiry with the application reference and travel-document number. If the reference is missing, ask the local contact, strategic partner, appointed agent or service that filed the case. Do not rely on passport-number-only lookup pages.

Pakistani passport holders

Pakistani applicants can use SAVE once they have the application reference and travel-document number. Ask the submitter for the reference and approved e-Visa copy where available; an SG Arrival Card acknowledgement is not visa approval.

Bangladeshi passport holders

Bangladeshi applicants can use SAVE with the application reference and travel-document number. For applications filed in Bangladesh, ask the High Commission-listed authorised agent for the reference and approved e-Visa copy; VisatoSingapore tracking is not an ICA result.

Egyptian passport holders

Egyptian applicants can use ICA SAVE with the application reference and travel-document number. Ask the permitted original Form 14A filer for the reference and approved e-Visa copy. An SG Arrival Card acknowledgement or a passport-only status portal is not proof of visa approval.

UAE / GCC residents using visa-required passports

A UAE, Qatar or GCC residence permit does not decide visa need. If Form 14A was filed, use its application reference and travel-document number in SAVE and ask the original filer for the approved e-Visa copy.

Download an approved Singapore e-Visa

Open Enquire Application Status in ICA SAVE with the visa application reference and travel-document number. If the result shows an approved e-Visa, select Print e-Visa to save or print it. ICA strongly encourages you to bring a printout for airline and departure checks. If you lack the reference, ask whoever filed the application or use ICA's enquiry form.

How to check if a Singapore e-Visa PDF is genuine

A PDF sent by an agent is not proof on its own. ICA says to retrieve the e-Visa through its SAVE Enquire Application Status service.

Status check FAQ

Does Singapore visa check mean visa status or visa eligibility?

If an entry-visa application has already been submitted, use this status route with the application reference and travel-document number. If no application exists and you only need to know whether your passport requires a visa, use the visa eligibility checker first. These are different checks, and neither an SG Arrival Card nor a passport number alone proves visa approval.

Is ICA passport status the same as Singapore visa status?

No. A Singapore passport application or passport-service status is a different ICA journey. For an entry-visa result, use the Entry Visa or SAVE route with the visa application reference and travel-document number. This checker does not track Singapore passport applications.

Can I check Singapore visa status by passport number here?

No. VisatoSingapore does not collect passport data on this public page, and ICA SAVE requires both the visa application reference and the applicant's travel-document number. If the reference is missing, ask the original filer or contact ICA through its enquiry form with the applicant's name and passport number so ICA can help retrieve it.

Can I download and print my approved e-Visa myself?

Yes. In ICA SAVE, open Enquire Application Status with the application reference and travel-document number. For an approved e-Visa, select Print e-Visa to download or print the copy. The person or organisation that filed the case can also provide it. ICA strongly encourages carrying a printout when you travel.

Does an approved e-Visa guarantee entry?

No. A visa lets a traveller seek entry. ICA officers at the checkpoint decide entry and the Visit Pass / e-Pass period.

This route finder is informational. ICA makes the visa decision and checkpoint-entry decision. Requirements and e-Service flows can change, so verify on ica.gov.sg before travel.
