What documents do Russian passport holders need for a Singapore visa?
Short answer
A Russian applicant's Singapore visa file usually begins with four documents: a passport valid for at least six months from your date of entry into Singapore, a completed Form 14A, a recent passport-style photo on a plain white background, and evidence of your onward or return travel plan, such as a refundable booking or itinerary if you already have one.

English is the reference version. Translations are provided for convenience. Before making an important decision, check the linked official page; if anything differs, contact support.
ICA may go on to ask for proof of where you'll stay, evidence the trip is funded, or the details of a Singapore contact if you have one. Cases differ, so the checklist that governs yours is the one ICA publishes, not a generic copy.
What usually holds a file up is not an absent document but details that fail to match across the ones you have. A name or date that reads differently on passport, ticket, and form is what a reviewer catches, so we reconcile those before lodging.

Russian passport documents: check the Latin name and translations
For a Russian ordinary-passport holder, ICA lists a signed Form 14A, a recent colour photograph and a copy of the passport biodata page. Prepare the file for the passport the traveller will actually use, wherever they live.
- Check that the passport will be valid for at least six months from entry and that the photograph was taken within the last three months. Follow ICA's current photo specifications.
- Copy the passport's Latin name and passport number into Form 14A. If ICA requests supporting documents written in Russian, include official English translations under its rules.
- Confirm the filing channel before collecting any additional papers: a permitted local contact or strategic partner in Singapore, or a Singapore Overseas Mission or its authorised visa agent. Check the chosen Mission's procedure when filing abroad.
