Singapore visa
A Bangladeshi ordinary passport holder needs a Singapore entry visa before travel; visa on arrival is not available. The Singapore High Commission in Dhaka says applications filed in Bangladesh must be submitted online through one of the Authorised Visa Agents on its official list. If ICA approves the application, the permitted submitter can print the e-Visa. ICA still decides entry at the checkpoint.
Prepare the file before choosing an agent: Form 14A, a recent photo, the passport biodata page, the required Letter of Introduction and any supporting travel evidence should tell one consistent story. Applicants living outside Bangladesh should check the procedure of the Singapore Mission serving their place of residence rather than assuming the Dhaka route applies everywhere.
Form 14A and LOI from Bangladesh: official Dhaka visa route (2026)
Your travel document determines whether you need a visa. If you apply abroad, check the Singapore Overseas Mission serving where you live: it may use an appointed agent or its own procedure. An eligible contact in Singapore may instead use ICA's online route.

Document consistency check
Do not treat a country page, a Form 14A PDF or an old agent list as the whole file. Start with the passport-specific route, then use the shared checklist to catch mismatched names, dates, bookings, funds, local-contact details and SG Arrival Card confusion before filing.
Bangladesh travel planning
Choose the task you need now. For filing in Bangladesh, verify the Singapore High Commission's live Authorised Visa Agent list first; Form 14A preparation, LOI, fees, status and the free SG Arrival Card remain separate steps.
Bangladesh visa questions
Start with short answers about Form 14A, LOI/local-contact documents, status, fees, transit/VFTF and no-visa-on-arrival risk, then open the detailed guide for the step you need.
Bangladeshi ordinary passport holders currently need a Singapore entry visa before travel; diplomatic, official and service passports may be treated differently by ICA. Most travellers who clear immigration also submit the free SG Arrival Card before arrival. Verify the live ICA pages before you fly.
Singapore Visa Requirements for Bangladeshi CitizensYour passport should be valid for at least six months from your date of entry into Singapore. ICA may request additional documents case by case.
Singapore Visa Documents from Bangladesh: ChecklistCheck the Singapore High Commission in Dhaka's live visa-application page for the official processing fee and its current Bangladesh-taka payment instruction. The authorised agent's charge is separate and can change, so ask for a written breakdown. VisatoSingapore shows any optional Form 14A preparation price separately before checkout.
Singapore Visa Fee for Bangladeshi ApplicantsNo. Processing time is set by ICA and the Mission and can change — check the current timing on the official Singapore High Commission page in Dhaka. Incomplete files, extra checks and peak periods take longer, so never book around a guaranteed approval date.
Singapore Visa Processing Time from BangladeshDo not treat passport number alone as a universal status check. The permitted submitter usually needs the application reference and passport details through ICA's official e-Service or the filing route that submitted the Form 14A.
Singapore Visa Status Check for BangladeshisICA's current VFTF page lists CIS nationals, Georgia, India, Turkmenistan, Ukraine and holders of selected PRC travel documents. Bangladesh is not listed there, so if your route requires clearing Singapore immigration, plan for an entry visa unless ICA's live guidance changes.
Singapore Transit Visa for Bangladeshis: VFTF CheckIf you are filing in Bangladesh, prepare Form 14A in English, the required LOI, photo, passport copy and supporting documents, then submit online through an Authorised Visa Agent on the Singapore High Commission in Dhaka's current list. If you live elsewhere, check the Singapore Mission responsible for that residence before choosing a route.
How to Apply for a Singapore Visa from BangladeshThe checks below are specific to Bangladeshi passport holders and the routes they usually take. Each one links to the full answer.
For a Bangladeshi ordinary-passport holder, the total is not one government price. Separate the current Bangladesh-taka equivalent of Singapore's S$30 processing fee, the appointed Dhaka agent's charge and any optional Form 14A preparation support before payment.
For Bangladeshi travellers, the safest transit review starts with whether the passenger stays airside or must enter Singapore.
For a Bangladeshi applicant, checking the filing route, passport details and supporting evidence can expose correctable errors; it cannot identify ICA's confidential refusal reason.
For Bangladeshi applicants, delays often start before official review when the photo, Form 14A, LOI or local-contact details are not aligned.
For Bangladeshi applicants, a real status check should follow the filing route that submitted Form 14A and can retrieve or print the result if approved.
For Bangladeshi applicants, the photo is one part of the entry-visa file, not proof that the filing route or local-contact details are already correct.
Start here to keep the trip planning simple. This sequence separates entry visas, the free SG Arrival Card, transit checks and long-term passes before you choose a filing route or lock in travel dates.
Confirm the live ICA rule for your passport and travel document. Transit/VFTF can change the route, but it is not the same as an ordinary Singapore visit visa.
Use passport-matching Latin letters for names, birth details, travel dates, Singapore address/local contact, occupation and visit purpose.
Check passport validity, photo, itinerary, accommodation, funds/employment evidence and translations so the file tells one consistent story.
Use a real local contact, strategic partner, Singapore Overseas Mission, authorised visa agent, or VisatoSingapore where your case is eligible. Avoid fake sponsors.
If approved, carry the e-Visa with your passport and submit the free SG Arrival Card when ICA requires it. ICA still decides entry at the checkpoint.
The steady path is current ICA guidance, a complete Form 14A and a real eligible filing route. We help you understand which route fits before you start the application.
Use ICA and the relevant Singapore Overseas Mission for live requirements, fees, forms, VFTF, SG Arrival Card, and final decisions. VisatoSingapore explains the route; it does not replace official rules.
We prepare Form 14A, review document mismatches, guide the local-contact route, and submit eligible entry-visa cases through the permitted path. ICA decides approval and entry.
DIY can work if you have a real Singapore contact with Singpass/Corppass or another permitted route. A hotel booking, copied sponsor details, or fake contact is not a safe route.
This page is about Singapore travel/entry visas and Form 14A. Work passes, Student's Pass, Dependant's Pass, and long-term family routes are separate ICA or MOM processes; our pages on those topics are informational.
Treat that search as three possible items, not one fixed Bangladesh price: the official fee on the live Singapore High Commission page, the selected authorised agent's current charge, and any optional preparation support. Check the official list and a written agent breakdown before paying; do not rely on an old BDT conversion.
Do not expect a separate tourist-visa tariff. A short social-visit entry-visa application uses the official processing-fee route published by the Singapore High Commission in Dhaka, while the listed authorised agent's charge is separate. Verify the live Mission list before paying because local-currency amounts and agent charges can change.
Not automatically. Keep the official visa processing fee, the Dhaka authorised agent's charge and any optional Form 14A preparation or document-review service as separate line items. Ask for the full route and price breakdown before checkout so you know who prepares the file and who submits it.
No. The visa charge is one line in the budget. Add your current return-flight quote, accommodation for the nights booked, meals and transport for the travel days, and a contingency. If applying through the Dhaka High Commission's authorised-agent route, its agent charge is separate from the official processing fee. Check the live Mission page before paying.
Not automatically. An ordinary Bangladeshi passport needs an entry visa, but the filing route depends on where and how you apply. Follow the procedure of the Singapore Overseas Mission serving your place of residence or an eligible Singapore e-Service submitter, and budget only the fee for that route.
Yes for the current Dhaka route. The Singapore High Commission in Dhaka lists a Letter of Introduction from a qualifying Singapore local contact among the required documents. For social visits, that contact must be a Singapore citizen or permanent resident aged at least 21; business visits use a Singapore-registered organisation with an eligible signatory. Verify the live Mission page before filing.
No. If approved, the Singapore visa is issued electronically and can be printed by the permitted submitting party. Carry the e-Visa with your passport; ICA still decides entry at the checkpoint.
After approval, ask the authorised agent or other permitted route that submitted Form 14A to retrieve and provide the e-Visa copy. Use the official ICA status route where it applies; avoid unrelated download sites that cannot show a connection to the submitted application.
No. Carry the printed e-Visa with the same passport used for the application, but ICA officers still decide entry at the checkpoint. The free SG Arrival Card is a separate arrival declaration and does not replace the e-Visa.
No. SG Arrival Card is the free arrival declaration, not a visa approval. Bangladeshi ordinary passport holders still need the entry-visa route before travel when ICA's live rules require it.
Check the date of the visa rejection. ICA accepts appeals through its enquiry form within one month. Ask the original filer about the required documents and the Singapore local contact's role. ICA does not disclose refusal reasons; if you apply again, correct verifiable errors without assuming a mandatory waiting period or a known cause.
Usually the party that submitted the application through the permitted route retrieves or prints the e-Visa if ICA approves it. Ask the submitter which reference and official e-Service route they will use.
Use a recent passport-sized colour photograph that follows ICA's current photo guidelines. ICA can reject or query a file if the image is old, unclear, cropped badly, or does not match the published specifications.
Use the 'List of Authorised Visa Agents in Dhaka' on the Singapore High Commission's official visa-application page. Check the live .gov.sg list immediately before paying because appointments and contact details can change; VisatoSingapore is not a substitute for that official Dhaka list.
No. Bangladesh ordinary passport travel is a pre-travel entry-visa route. Arrange the visa before departure and treat any visa-on-arrival promise as unsafe unless ICA's official guidance changes.
Four service plans. Your checkout price, filing party and whether the official processing charge for your route is included are shown separately.
$29USD · Preparation service
Your eligible local contact or authorised Mission route submits it
Official processing charge for your filing route paid separately
We fill in and double-check your Form 14A in your language, then e-mail the ready package — the official IMM 14A, your photo, passport page and bookings — to your permitted filer: a Singapore local contact with SingPass or your visa agency. They submit through the applicable ICA or Mission route, pay its official fee separately and confirm submission from our e-mail. We don't file it.
The US$29 package prepares your Form 14A and, once your flight and hotel bookings, photo and passport page are uploaded, e-mails the ready file to your eligible Singapore local contact or visa agent. They submit through the ICA or Mission route available to your case and pay that route's official processing charge separately. They can confirm submission with one click. We do not file on this plan. If you have neither route, check Full support eligibility before paying.

Best for: Frequent travellers who need a Multiple Journey visa and have no Singapore sponsor of their own.
Start this planOn eligible plans where we submit, the official processing charge for the confirmed route is included. On the US$29 and US$49 plans, the filing party pays the current ICA or Mission charge separately.
Multiple-entry visas are granted by ICA, not by us. We organise the evidence that supports the request, but cannot guarantee the outcome.
