What are the Singapore visa requirements for Bangladeshi citizens?
Short answer
A Bangladeshi ordinary passport holder needs a Singapore entry visa before travel, and visa on arrival is not available. The Singapore High Commission in Dhaka says applications filed in Bangladesh must be submitted online through one of its listed Authorised Visa Agents.

Prepare a passport valid for at least six months from arrival, Form 14A, a recent photo, the passport biodata copy, the required Letter of Introduction and any additional supporting evidence requested for the case. Applicants living outside Bangladesh should follow the procedure of the Singapore Mission serving their place of residence.
VisatoSingapore can help prepare Form 14A and check document consistency, but it is not ICA, the High Commission or a substitute for the official Dhaka agent list. ICA decides the visa and checkpoint entry; the free SG Arrival Card is a separate later step.
Frequently asked
- Do Bangladeshi citizens need a Singapore visa and SG Arrival Card?
- 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.
- Is SG Arrival Card the same as a Singapore visa for Bangladeshis?
- 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.
