Singapore Visa for Indians: Tourist Visa, Form 14A & Fees

For the New Delhi authorised-agent route, confirm the current non-refundable processing fee, authorised-agent service charge and appointed-agent list on the High Commission's live Visa information page before payment. Check ICA's live India page separately if the Singapore e-Service route applies. Any VisatoSingapore preparation fee is shown separately, the official SG Arrival Card remains free, and no payment guarantees approval or entry.

No. A package quote can help explain the trip, but a visa file still needs consistent Form 14A details, travel dates, accommodation or host information, funds evidence and the permitted filing route. SG Arrival Card is free and separate from the visa.

Your passport should be valid for at least six months from your date of entry into Singapore. ICA may request additional documents case by case.

No. For Indian applicants, Singapore issues the visa electronically. If approved, you carry the printed e-Visa with your passport; ICA still makes the final entry decision at the checkpoint.

Yes. Indian citizens and Indian ordinary passport holders need a Singapore entry visa before ordinary short visits. Diplomatic, official and service passports are treated differently. Apply before travel through a permitted route and check the live ICA India and Singapore High Commission pages before you file.

In ordinary short-visit travel, Indian ordinary passport holders need a Singapore entry visa before travel, and most travellers who clear immigration also submit the free SG Arrival Card before arrival. Verify both requirements on ica.gov.sg before you fly.

Indian nationals may use ICA's 96-hour VFTF only when transiting to or from a third country, departing Singapore by air or sea within 96 hours, and holding a visa or long-term pass from Australia, Canada, Germany, Japan, New Zealand, Switzerland, the United Kingdom or the United States that is valid for at least one month from entry. ICA publishes a narrow direct-return exception for a used Single Journey Visa; do not assume it applies. VFTF is not pre-approved, and ICA decides entry at the checkpoint.

After a refusal you're usually advised to wait, fix what went wrong, and reapply with a stronger application; how long to wait depends on the case, so check current ICA guidance rather than assuming a fixed period. A complete, accurate first application is the best way to avoid that situation.

No fixed timeline should be treated as guaranteed. Processing depends on ICA, the filing route, document consistency and any follow-up checks, so apply with buffer time and verify the current guidance on ica.gov.sg.

Do not rely on 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.

Do not rely on a selfie or casual crop. Use a recent passport-style photo that follows ICA's current specifications, including the background, face visibility and file rules shown on the official ICA guidance.

Check that your passport needs a visa, prepare Form 14A in English, reconcile passport, trip and document details, submit through a permitted route, then submit the free SG Arrival Card before travel if you will clear Singapore immigration.
