Yes. ICA lists Pakistan among the travel documents whose holders need a Singapore entry visa before travel. There is no visa on arrival for this route. An approved e-Visa lets you travel to Singapore and seek entry, but ICA still makes the admission decision at the checkpoint.
Use the passport you will actually present at the border for this check. Residence in another country, a foreign residence permit or a previous Singapore trip does not by itself turn a Pakistani travel document into a visa-free one.

Final decision
ICA decides visa approval and checkpoint entry
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.
Answer a few quick questions — you can start in about a minute.

Pakistan documents: use the country page and shared checklist together
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.
Start with the task you need to complete. These links keep Form 14A, LOI/Form V39A, e-Visa status, SG Arrival Card and work-pass questions as separate steps.
Common Singapore visa questions for Pakistan passport holders
Start with short answers about entry-visa need, validity, stay days, LOI/local-contact documents, status checks, transit/VFTF, fees, work-pass boundaries and safe filing routes, then open the detailed guide for the step you need.
Do Pakistani citizens need a Singapore visa and SG Arrival Card?
Pakistani passport holders currently need a Singapore entry visa before travel. Most travellers who clear immigration also submit the free SG Arrival Card before arrival. Verify the live ICA visa and SGAC pages before you fly.
Can I check Singapore visa status with only my passport number?
No. ICA's public SAVE enquiry asks for the visa application reference number and the applicant's travel document number. If you do not have the reference, ask the party that submitted Form 14A for it before entering passport details anywhere.
Is the three-working-day timing guaranteed for Pakistan applications?
No. ICA currently says visa applications are processed within three working days, excluding the submission day, but some applications take longer and each case is considered on its own merits. Check the current ICA page before relying on timing.
Are Pakistani travellers covered by Singapore's 96-hour VFTF?
ICA's current VFTF page lists CIS nationals, Georgia, India, Turkmenistan, Ukraine and holders of selected PRC travel documents. Pakistan is not listed there, so if your route requires clearing Singapore immigration, plan for an entry visa unless ICA's live guidance changes.
We show our fixed service prices in USD before checkout: Form 14A package US$29, sponsor letter (Form V39A) US$49, Full support US$149, and Multiple-entry US$249. ICA's visit-visa processing fee is S$30: on the $29 package and the $49 sponsor letter it is paid at submission by whoever files; Full support includes it. Verify the current amount on ICA's live visa page. ICA alone decides the application and may request more documents.
What is the safest application route from Pakistan?
Prepare Form 14A in English, align passport and trip details, prepare the photo and supporting documents, then submit through a permitted route such as a strategic partner, local contact, Singapore Overseas Mission or authorised visa agent. If a local contact or LOI is needed, confirm that before submission.
For Pakistani travellers, current VFTF wording should not be assumed to cover the trip, so a connection that clears immigration needs careful entry-visa planning.
For Pakistani applicants, rejection-risk review should focus on the permitted submitter, local-contact or LOI context as well as the ordinary document pack.
What to check (3)›
Confirm whether the filing route was allowed to submit and retrieve the result for that exact applicant.
Make the visit purpose, sponsor or funding evidence match Form 14A, accommodation and onward travel.
ICA does not disclose the refusal reason; check the current appeal guidance and the original submitter's role before deciding whether to file again.
For Pakistani applicants, the useful timing question is whether the permitted submitter, local-contact or LOI context is ready before Form 14A is filed.
What to check (3)›
Do not count document-gathering days as official processing time; incomplete LOI, photo or passport details can delay submission.
Treat any published working-day guide as a planning signal, not a promise that every case clears on that date.
Ask the submitter how they will retrieve or print the e-Visa result before booking tight onward travel.
For Pakistani applicants, the status route usually depends on the strategic partner, local contact, Mission route or authorised agent that submitted Form 14A.
What to check (3)›
Ask the submitter which official e-Service or filing route they will use to retrieve the result.
Avoid passport-number-only portals that cannot prove a connection to the permitted submitter.
Keep SG Arrival Card, e-Visa printout and e-Pass status as three different stages.
For Pakistani applicants, the photo should support the same filing route, LOI or local-contact context that submits Form 14A.
What to check (3)›
Use a recent colour passport-style photo and verify the current ICA image rules before the permitted submitter files the case.
Avoid shadows, heavy editing, casual crops or mismatched scans that make the passport identity harder to compare.
Keep the final image with Form 14A, passport biodata and supporting documents; a good photo does not replace visa approval.
Application journey for Pakistan travellers
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.
1
Check the passport rule
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.
2
Prepare Form 14A in English
Use passport-matching Latin letters for names, birth details, travel dates, Singapore address/local contact, occupation and visit purpose.
3
Reconcile the supporting documents
Check passport validity, photo, itinerary, accommodation, funds/employment evidence and translations so the file tells one consistent story.
4
Choose a permitted filing route
Use a real local contact, strategic partner, Singapore Overseas Mission, authorised visa agent, or VisatoSingapore where your case is eligible. Avoid fake sponsors.
5
Travel with the right paperwork
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.
How Pakistan travellers should choose a filing route
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.
Start with ICA and Mission rules
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.
Use VisatoSingapore for eligible Form 14A cases
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.
Use DIY only with a real local contact
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.
Do not mix this with work, study, or family passes
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.
Frequently asked
What is the Singapore visa for Pakistani fee?+
Check ICA's live visa page for the current official processing fee, then confirm any separate Mission or permitted-route charge in writing. VisatoSingapore's optional service plans are priced separately before checkout. Paying a fee does not guarantee approval, a particular validity or Multiple Journey issuance; ICA decides the application.
Is the Singapore visa fee for Pakistani applicants one all-inclusive amount?+
Not necessarily. Separate the live official ICA fee, any permitted filing-route charge and any optional Form 14A preparation or review service. Ask for a written breakdown before payment and verify local-currency conversion at the live rate. ICA retains the final decision and fees do not buy a guaranteed result.
Do Pakistani applicants need Form V39A or an LOI?+
The permitted filing route can affect whether a Form V39A / Letter of Introduction or local-contact details are needed. Check the live ICA Pakistan page and the route that will submit Form 14A before you finalise the file.
Is the Singapore e-Visa stamped into a Pakistani passport?+
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.
Is SG Arrival Card the same as a Singapore visa for Pakistanis?+
No. SG Arrival Card is the free arrival declaration, not a visa approval. Pakistani passport holders still need the entry-visa route before travel when ICA's live rules require it.
Can I reapply after a rejection?+
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.
Who can retrieve a Pakistani applicant's Singapore e-Visa?+
If ICA approves the application, ask the submitting local contact, strategic partner or authorised visa agent for the e-Visa copy. ICA's Pakistan visa page says these parties can print it through the e-Service. If a Singapore Overseas Mission handled your application, follow that mission's collection instructions.
What if ICA SAVE says the visa application is pending or requests documents?+
Pending is not approval. ICA's public enquiry may also show 'Request for Documents'. Contact the party that filed your application to supply what ICA asks for through the same route, and wait for the official result before treating the visa as issued.
Can I upload any passport photo for a Pakistan application?+
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.
Can Pakistani travellers get a Singapore visa on arrival?+
No. Pakistan 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.
Form 14A package
$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: You already have a Singapore local contact with SingPass, or a visa agency, to submit it.
Your eligible local contact or authorised Mission route submits it
•Official processing charge for your filing route paid separately
Need a Form V39A Letter of Introduction? We can prepare it for your own eligible Singapore contact to sign and file through ICA. If you have no contact and your permitted mission or authorised-agent route asks for the letter, our Singapore company can sign for an eligible case; you or your agency then submit through that route. We do not file on this plan.
On the US$49 Form V39A plan, we prepare the letter for your own eligible local contact to sign and file through ICA. If you have no contact and a permitted Mission or authorised-agent route asks for the letter, our Singapore sponsor can sign for an eligible case; you or your agent submit through that route. The official processing charge for the route is separate, and we do not file on this plan. Want us to file? Check Full support eligibility.
Best for: Eligible applicants who need a Form V39A signed by their own local contact or by our Singapore sponsor for a permitted mission or agent route.
We submit through the confirmed permitted ICA or Mission route
Fully online — no embassy visit
✓Official processing charge for the confirmed filing route included
No Singapore local contact with SingPass to file for you? Once a permitted filing route is confirmed for your case, we file the application and the ICA fee is included. Where the route allows, we also prepare the Letter of Introduction (V39A). For a single, double or triple journey request.
Best for: Travellers without their own filer, once a permitted route is confirmed.
We submit through the confirmed permitted ICA or Mission route

✓Official processing charge for the confirmed filing route included
The separate plan, and the only one, for a Multiple Journey visa. You don't need a Singapore sponsor of your own. We file and the ICA fee is included; we add supporting documents: a cover letter, your travel pattern and proof of funds. Express: we file within 1 working day of receiving your documents; ICA's decision usually arrives in about 2 working days, but ICA decides the outcome and timing.
Best for: Frequent travellers who need a Multiple Journey visa and have no Singapore sponsor of their own.
On 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.
Our editorial team maintains guidance using the primary ICA, MFA, and MOM sources cited on each page. VisatoSingapore provides independent visa information, Form 14A preparation and eligible filing support. Final visa and entry decisions remain with ICA.
