Visa validity period
The period during which the visa remains valid and can be used for entry into the country. The validity period or expiration date is indicated directly on the visa itself.
A foreigner from a visa-required country who plans to travel to Singapore must submit their visa application electronically through a local contact or our trusted partners in Singapore using the online system "SAVE" (Submission of Application for Visa Electronically). A Singapore e-Visa is valid for 63 days from the date of issuance. A Singapore entry visa is not an immigration pass but a pre-entry authorization that allows the holder to travel to Singapore and request entry. Approval for an immigration pass is decided by ICA (Immigration and Checkpoints Authority) officers upon arrival at the entry point. All foreign nationals, except for permanent residents and certain other categories, must complete the SG Arrival Card within three days before entering Singapore.
to 1 month
Duration of stay
The maximum duration for which one is permitted to stay in the country continuously from the date of entry.
At the time of entry, the immigration officer issues an electronic Visit Pass (e-Pass), which confirms the authorized period of stay. The period of stay under this visa is usually 30 days. However, immigration authorities may adjust the authorized period if the officer determines that the traveler has insufficient funds or lacks a clear purpose for the visit.
Individually
Extension of stay
The extension of the maximum duration of stay in the country initially permitted by the visa, subject to approval by the immigration authorities. This is typically processed within the country without the need for departure.
Visitors whose Short-Term Visit Pass (STVP) was issued by ICA can apply for an extension of stay when their pass has 14 days or less of validity remaining. The application can be submitted using the e-Service. ICA evaluates each application comprehensively, taking into account factors such as the reasons for the extended stay and whether the applicant has immediate family members who are Singapore citizens or Permanent Residents. The length of any extension granted depends on ICA’s assessment.

Consular fee
A fee levied for the processing and evaluation of an application. This charge is non-refundable under any circumstances. In certain instances, the payment of supplementary fees may be required.
The cost of a Singapore electronic visa (eVisa) consists of 2 parts: the official fee and, typically, a service charge by the authorized intermediary. The Immigration & Checkpoints Authority (ICA) of Singapore sets a fixed processing fee of 30 Singapore Dollars (SGD) per application. - This fee is non-refundable, even if the visa is rejected. - It is paid online when submitting the application through the intermediary's official portal (e.g., via an accredited airline or a local contact in Singapore). Since citizens of certain countries cannot apply for an eVisa directly through the ICA portal, they must apply through an authorized intermediary. The most common intermediaries are: - An accredited airline (e.g., Singapore Airlines). - A travel agency in Singapore. - A Singapore citizen or permanent resident (a local contact). These intermediaries levy a service charge for their assistance. The amount varies: it usually ranges from 20 to 50 SGD (and sometimes higher), depending on the company and the urgency of the processing.
