Does the Singapore Visa Get Stamped on the Passport?

Goh Jun Cheng

October 11, 2023

Singapore is a popular travel destination known for its cleanliness, safety, delicious food, and stunning architecture. As a global hub, Singapore attracts millions of international visitors each year who come for business, tourism, or to visit family and friends.

With this high volume of visitors, many wonder about the specifics of getting a Singapore visa and whether it gets stamped on your passport.

In this comprehensive blog post, we’ll cover everything you need to know about Singapore visas and passport stamps.

Table of Contents

Overview of Singapore Visas

There are several types of visas available for travel to Singapore. The most common are:

• Tourist visa  – For short trips and leisure travel. Valid for up to 30 days.
• Business visa  – For business trips, meetings, conferences, etc. Valid for up to 3 months.
• Employment visa  – For foreign workers and expats residing long-term in Singapore. Typically valid 1-2 years.
• Student visa  – For foreign students enrolled in school or university. Valid for the duration of the academic program.
• Transit visa  – For passing through Singapore on the way to another destination. Valid up to 96 hours.

Citizens of certain countries may be eligible for visa-free entry to Singapore for tourism and business purposes. The length of stay varies based on nationality. Check with the consulate to find out if you qualify.

Visa Application Process

Applying for a Singapore visa typically involves submitting an application form , valid passport, photos, travel details, and required documentation (bank statements, employment verification letter, etc.) There is a visa application fee that must be paid as well.

For employment visas, the sponsoring company in Singapore handles much of the application process. Tourist visas can be obtained easily online through agencies like Singapore Visa or VFS Global.

Visa requirements and policies frequently change so it’s best to check the Singapore Ministry of Foreign Affairs website for up-to-date details.

Do Singapore Visas Get Stamped in Your Passport?

The short answer is yes , Singapore visas (with a few exceptions) do get stamped directly into your passport once approved and issued.

The stamped visa will indicate the visa type (tourist, business, student, etc.), length of stay, number of entries allowed, and expiration date. It will also include your photo and passport details.

Here are some notes on Singapore visa stamps:

• Visa stamps will be affixed to a blank visa page of the passport. Make sure you have enough empty pages available.
• Visa conditions such as length of stay and expiration cannot be altered once stamped.
• Lost passport with visa stamp means you’ll need to reapply for a new visa.
• Certain visa types may receive stamps on arrival rather than prep-issued stamps.

The exceptions when you may not receive a physical stamp are:

• E-visas  – Issued electronically without stamps. Must print out visa confirmation.
• Visa-free entry  – No visa required so no stamp needed.

In summary, having a valid Singapore visa in your passport is crucial. The visa stamp itself acts as proof of your authorized entry and stay in Singapore. Be sure to keep your passport safe and the stamp legible.

Arriving in Singapore With a Visa

When you arrive at a Singapore border checkpoint (airport, land crossing, or seaport), you will undergo immigration clearance. The immigration officer will:

• Verify your passport and stamped visa.
• Check the validity dates and visa type.
• Match your face to the visa photo.
• Ask about your purpose and length of stay.
• Stamp your passport entry permit with date of arrival.

As long as your documents are in order, you should have no issues passing immigration. From there you can officially start your visit to Singapore!

For certain nationalities, biometric scans (fingerprints and photo) may also be required at arrival. Be cooperative and patient if asked to provide biometric data.

Maintaining Singapore Visa Validity

Once in the country, be careful not to overstay your visa. The stamped expiry date indicates the last day you are permitted to stay. Extensions may be possible but often come with hassles and fees.

If you applied for a single-entry visa, you would need to get a new visa to return to Singapore. For multiple-entry visas, you can come and go as long as it remains valid.

Make sure your passport has sufficient validity too, as your Singapore visa is tied to the passport it’s stamped in. Generally your passport should be valid at least 6 months from the visa expiry date.

It’s the traveler’s responsibility to maintain legal status in Singapore. Keep track of your visa validity dates and passport expiration to avoid problems.

To summarize, Singapore visa stamps in your passport are an essential part of the immigration process. All major visa types – including tourist, business, employment and student – do get stamped in your passport prior to arrival in Singapore. The exception are e-visas and visa-free entries which do not require stamps.

Upon arrival, Singapore immigration officials will verify your passport, visa stamp, biometrics and other documents. As long as your visa is valid, you’ll be granted entry. Be sure to monitor your visa expiry and passport validity during your stay in Singapore.

SINGAPORE: Foreign visitors on short-term visit passes will no longer have their passports stamped when they enter Singapore, the Immigration & Checkpoints Authority (ICA) said on Friday (Mar 11).

They will be issued with electronic visit passes (e-Passes) in lieu of inked endorsements.

The move is “part of ICA’s efforts to provide a more secure, safer and more seamless immigration clearance as Singapore gradually reopens its borders”, the authority said in a news release.

Electronic passes have been issued at Changi Airport since October 2021, and they will be issued at all checkpoints from Friday.

The passes will be sent to the email addresses provided by travellers in their arrival cards after they clear immigration. They will contain the details of the visit pass granted, including the maximum number of days of stay and the last day of stay allowed in Singapore.

In support of the initiative, ICA has launched an enquiry portal where visitors can check their short-term visit pass records.

“With the full implementation of the e-Pass, all foreign visitors on short-term visit pass will no longer have to worry about the lack of pages in their passports to accommodate immigration stamps,” ICA said.

“They will also have the convenience of retrieving their e-Pass information via ICA’s e-Pass Enquiry Portal on the SG Arrival Card e-Service platform at any time.”

ICA said that the implementation of the e-Pass initiative is a key part of its shift towards automated immigration clearance.

“The e-Pass is one of the building blocks for ICA’s New Clearance Concept (NCC). The NCC, which would be operationalised at our checkpoints from 2023, will automate immigration clearance for all travellers,” the authority said.

“The e-Pass supports our NCC plans by removing the need for travellers to obtain inked endorsements, thus providing more secure, safer and more seamless immigration clearance for travellers."

Do I need a visa to visit Singapore?

Sep 7, 2023 • 3 min read

Singapore is famously known for being a state of rules, so check to see whether you need a visa for your visit © 2p2play / Shutterstock

A visit to Singapore is a glimpse into the future. From its modern and almost surreal airport  to its eye-catching and ever-changing skyline, Singapore is continuously innovative.

Even though the tourist entry requirements for most nationalities are straightforward, Singapore is known for its commitment to the rules. Here's what you need to know about visas for Singapore, including what types of visas are available and the rules you’ll need to navigate for trouble-free travel.

What you need to know about visas in Singapore

The visa requirements for travel to Singapore depend on your nationality, how many days you'll spend in the country and why you're visiting. Citizens of 164 different countries can enter Singapore as tourists for a period of 30 or 90 days without a visa.  

Passport holders from the European Union, Switzerland, Norway, the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, South Korea, Japan and the United States get 90 days visa-free in Singapore, while citizens of some other countries can stay a maximum of 30 days without applying for a visa.

Travelers from countries that aren't on the visa waiver list  have to apply for either an e-visa or a regular tourist visa, depending on their nationality. While e-visa applications can be easily done at any online e-visa provider and have a processing time of just one day, regular visas are a bit more involved, requiring travelers to get in contact with their nearest Singaporean diplomatic mission or apply for a visa through an agent.

Singapore's Frequent Traveller Programme

The Frequent Traveller Programme allows visitors from Australia, China, Hong Kong, Japan, South Korea, Malaysia, New Zealand, Thailand, the United Kingdom and the United States to use the automated clearance facilities at immigration, a process that significantly simplifies entering Singapore and helps frequent travelers avoid long wait times at peak hours.

What else do you need when visiting Singapore?

All tourists arriving in Singapore must have a valid passport (with a minimum validity of six months at the time of departure), sufficient funds for their stay in Singapore and an SG Arrival Card.

Unlike most other Southeast Asian countries, Singapore does not have a paper-based Disembarkation Card to be filled out on arrival in the country. Instead, all travelers (including those enrolled in the Frequent Traveller Programme) are required to submit an SG Arrival Card online, which asks for basic personal information, trip details and a health declaration. Obtain an SG Arrival Card on the MyICA phone app or the official ICA website .

All travelers, including residents, who arrive in Singapore from countries with a risk of yellow fever transmission must present a yellow fever vaccine certificate. Travelers who do not have a valid yellow fever vaccination certificate are liable to be quarantined at their own cost for up to six days.

Will I get a stamp in my passport?

Travelers passing through immigration at Changi Airport receive an electronic Visit Pass (e-Pass) via email rather than a passport stamp. The e-Pass contains details of the visit pass granted, including the maximum number of days and the last day you're allowed to stay in Singapore.

Singapore Visa for Tourists in 2024: A Comprehensive Guide

Updated: May 20, 2024

Singapore’s visa policy is simple and the country is very open to visitors. Most nationalities can enter visa-free and enjoy stays of either 30 or 90 days. The rest can obtain an e-Visa although a local Singaporean contact or a visa agent is a requirement.

Owing to digitalization, entering and leaving Singapore is seamless through one of the automated lanes. If you’re eligible, you won’t even have to speak to an immigration officer!

To save you time and summarize all the information, this guide will cover everything about Singapore visa policy, visa requirements and eligibility.

Table of Contents

Visa policy and visa types.

Passport holders of 163 countries and territories can travel visa-free to Singapore for 30 or 90 days.

Those who aren’t visa-exempt must obtain a tourist visa. There are two ways to do that. The first is an e-Visa through a Singaporean contact. The second is through an authorized visa agent or a Singaporean embassy.

Lastly, certain nationalities can take advantage of the Visa Free Transit Facility (VFTF) if in transit in Singapore to or from a third country. This option allows stays for up to 96 hours (4 days).

Singapore does not offer Visa on Arrival.

Entry Requirements

These entry requirements apply to all foreign citizens entering Singapore:

• At least 6 months of passport validity
• Valid visa unless visa exempt or using the Visa-Free Transit Facility (VFTF)
• Completed SG Arrival Card
• Return or onward ticket
• Proof of sufficient cash for your stay

Immigration officers very rarely ask for the last two. If you use the automated gates, you will not be asked for any proof.

It is also a good idea to check the list of Prohibited and Controlled Goods as Singaporean Customs can be a lot more curious.

Visa Exemption

The following countries are visa-exempt for Singapore. The length of allowed stay is either 30 or 90 days depending on your nationality.

• Netherlands
• New Zealand
• South Korea
• Switzerland
• United Kingdom
• United States
• Antigua and Barbuda
• Bosnia and Herzegovina
• Burkina Faso
• Central African Republic
• Congo, Dem. Rep. of
• Congo, Rep. of
• Côte d’Ivoire
• Dominican Republic
• El Salvador
• Equatorial Guinea
• Guinea-Bissau
• Liechtenstein
• Marshall Islands
• North Macedonia
• Papua New Guinea
• Philippines
• Saint Kitts and Nevis
• Saint Lucia
• Saint Vincent and the Grenadines
• São Tomé and Príncipe
• Saudi Arabia
• Sierra Leone
• Solomon Islands
• South Africa
• Timor Leste
• Trinidad and Tobago
• United Arab Emirates
• Vatican City

Visa exemption is available at all border crossings via air, land, and sea.

Singapore Tourist Visa (e-Visa)

The nationalities that require a Singapore tourist visa are split into two levels. 

The main difference is that Level II countries must also submit a Letter of Introduction for Visa Application (LOI).

Assessment Level I Countries

• North Korea
• Turkmenistan

Assessment Level II Countries

• Afghanistan
• South Sudan

Visa Requirements

Even though it’s an e-Visa, as an applicant, you cannot apply for the e-Visa on your own. The e-Visa application must be submitted by a local Singaporean contact or applied through an authorized visa agent approved by ICA such as VFS Global. 

The Singaporean contact must be at least 21 years old, a legal citizen or resident of Singapore, and have access to SingPass , the Singapore Identity Verification app.

Both Level I and Level II are required to submit:

• Completed and signed Form 14A
• A passport-sized color photograph taken within the last 3 months. These are the photo requirements .
• A photocopy of your passport biodata page

Level II countries are additionally required to obtain:

• Completed Form V39A which is a Letter of Introduction for Visa Application (LOI), issued by a local contact in Singapore.

Finding a local contact for LOI may prove troublesome for some travelers. A LOI issued by your Embassy can also be accepted if you are unable to secure an LOI from an individual.

The application costs 30 SGD (~22$).

If your application is successful, your Singaporean contact or the visa agent can send you the e-Visa file. You must print it and present it on arrival to enter the country.

Applications are processed within 3 working days (excluding the day of submission).

Read our detailed Singapore tourist visa (e-Visa) guide for in-depth information on e-Visa requirements, documents, the application process and the entry procedure at the airport.

Singapore Visa-Free Transit Facility (VFTF)

The Visa-Free Transit Facility (VFTF) allows entry into Singapore for up to 96 hours under certain conditions.

Eligible Countries

The following countries are eligible for VFTF:

Requirements

India passport holders.

Nationals of India are eligible for VFTF if they meet the following requirements:

• Enter Singapore by any mode of transport but leave only via air or sea to a third country. You may be asked to show an onward ticket departing Singapore within 96 hours. Flight, ferry, and cruise tickets are allowed.
• United States of America
• You travel directly from the country that issued the visa, through Singapore, back to your home country
• You have not been to your home country since you last used the visa

Schengen visas allow entry to both Germany and Switzerland, so they are accepted even if issued by another country.

All other countries

For the other countries on the VFTF list, these requirements are in place:

• Enter Singapore by any mode of transport but leave only via air to a third country. You may be asked to show an onward ticket departing Singapore within 96 hours. Only flight tickets are acceptable.

Read the Singapore VFTF guide for more information such as documents to present and the process to obtain VFTF at the airport in Singapore.

Visa-Free Transit

Visa-free transit does NOT allow you to enter Singapore!

You are considered a transiting traveler if you travel via Singapore without clearing immigration. All nationalities are eligible.

As a transiting passenger, you are allowed to stay within the transit area of Singapore Changi Airport.

Most layovers don’t require you to clear immigration. However, be careful with low-cost carriers and tickets booked separately. If that’s your case, you likely have to pass through immigration and customs and recheck your luggage. In that case, you must have a visa or be visa-exempt.

SG Arrival Card

The SG Arrival Card is mandatory for all visitors to Singapore regardless of nationality.

You can complete the SG Arrival Card online up to 3 days before arrival. There’s no minimum required time before arrival so you can complete it at the airport too.

The SG Arrival Card is automatically linked to your passport information. If you don’t complete it properly, automated lanes will reject you and you must see a border officer to amend it.

Automated Clearance

Singapore has made strides towards complete automation of its borders. It is expected that soon all arrivals will be processed through automated lanes. For now, these are the eligible countries:

The procedure is quick and straightforward. If this is your first time in Singapore, the machine will also collect your fingerprints, an iris scan, and a face picture.

You will NOT receive a stamp on your passport. After entry, you will receive an e-Pass to the email you have provided in the SG Arrival Card with the last day of stay allowed in Singapore.

Exit is also automated and passports are not stamped either.

Watch the below video by ICA to familiarize yourself with how to use the automated immigration lanes.

Electronic Visit Pass (e-Pass)

Singapore has phased out issuing physical entry stamps in the passport. An Electonic Visit Pass or e-Pass is issued and sent to your email after clearing the immigration in Singapore. You can also retrieve a copy for your e-Pass on the ICA website

The e-Pass will have the details such as your date of entry into Singapore, maximum days of allowed stay and your last day of stay granted.

Read the article on the Singapore Electronic Visa Pass (e-Pass) for details on how to retrieve and save a copy of e-Pass for your records.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Does singapore require a covid test or vaccination certificate.

All Covid-related restrictions were dropped on 13 February 2023. There are no requirements regarding testing or vaccination. That said, while submitting an SG Arrival Card, you will fill out the health declaration whether or not you are experiencing any symptoms.

Can I get an SG Arrival Card at the airport?

Yes, you can. The paper-based arrival cards are phased out, so you will have to fill out an online SG Arrival Card. You can fill it out at the airport too, takes about 5-10 minutes.

What documents are required to enter Singapore?

• Passport valid for at least 6 more months
• Valid visa unless visa-exempt
• Onward ticket (very rarely, especially if using an automated lane).

Can I transit at Singapore Changi Airport without a visa?

Yes, you can, regardless of nationality, as long as you don’t leave the transit area.

You may enter and exit as you please if you’re visa-exempt. 

Alternatively, you may be eligible for a visa-free transit facility allowing stays inside Singapore for up to 96 hours.

• A submitted SG Arrival Card: All travelers are required to submit their health declaration information to ICA, within three days before their arrival in Singapore.

To make your trip smooth and enjoyable, it's recommended to explore the various visa options and choose the one that aligns with your purpose of visit. Here are some visa types that you need to know:

Short-Term Visits :

Singapore Tourist Visa: This is the most popular visa for leisure travel, sightseeing, or social visits. Validity periods can vary depending on nationality and travel plans, but typical durations are 30 or 90 days.

Singapore Visa-Free Transit Facility (VFTF): This is not a visa but allows eligible travelers transiting through Changi Airport to stay for up to 96 hours without a visa. Specific requirements apply, such as holding a valid onward flight ticket and remaining within the airport's transit area.

Long-Term Stays :

Employment Pass: Designed for professionals with specific skills and qualifications who have a confirmed job offer from a Singaporean company.

EntrePass: Targets entrepreneurs seeking to establish and operate a business in Singapore.

Dependant's Pass: For spouses and children of Employment Pass or EntrePass holders.

Long-Term Visit Pass (LTVP): Enables foreigners extended stays in Singapore for reasons like long-term residence or accompanying family members studying in Singapore.

Work-Related Passes :

S Pass: For skilled foreign workers with qualifications and experience relevant to specific job roles.

Work Permit: For foreign workers performing manual or semi-skilled labor as approved by the Ministry of Manpower (MOM).

Student's Pass: For international students enrolled in full-time studies at approved educational institutions in Singapore.

Other Categories :

Special Pass: Issued for specific purposes that don't fall under other categories, like participants in conferences or events.

Dependent's Pass (for other Pass Holders): For dependants of individuals holding passes other than Employment Pass or EntrePass (e.g., dependants of S Pass holders).

Immigration Exemption (LONG-TERM): For exceptional circumstances where a long-term stay might be granted on a case-by-case basis.

Immigration Exemption (SHORT-TERM): Similar to the long-term exemption but for shorter stays under specific circumstances.

If you're from India and want to visit Singapore for holidays, work, studying, or business, you need to follow a simple but important process: applying for a visa. We'll break down the steps below to help you get the right visa for your journey. Whether you're exploring or working, understanding this process is really important. Let's go step by step:

1. Determine Your Visa Type:

The first step is to identify the most suitable visa category for your visit.  Common options include Tourist Visa, Visa-Free Transit Facility (VFTF) for transit passengers, Employment Pass (for job offers), EntrePass (for business ventures), Dependant's Pass (for family members of pass holders), and Long-Term Visit Pass (LTVP) for extended stays.

2. Gather Required Documents:

The necessary documents can vary depending on the visa type. Still, some general requirements often include:

• Valid Indian Passport (with at least 6 months validity from your entry date to Singapore and at least two blank pages for stamps)
• Completed Singapore Visa Application Form (downloadable from the ICA website)
• Two recent passport-sized color photographs
• Proof of travel (confirmed flight tickets) and accommodation details
• Proof of financial resources (bank statements, income tax returns etc.) for most visas (except VFTF)
• Additional documents specific to your visa type might be required (e.g., job offer letter for Employment Pass, business registration documents for EntrePass)

3. Apply Online (Most Cases):

Singapore has transitioned to a mostly online application process. Visit the official Immigration website to access the e-Visa application system.  Exceptions might exist for certain visa categories or specific situations where a physical application might be required.

4. Submit Application and Fees:

Once you've completed the online application and gathered all required documents, submit them electronically and pay the relevant visa processing fee. Payment methods can vary depending on the platform used.

5. Biometric Appointment (if applicable):

Some visa applications might require a visit to a designated visa application center in India for capturing biometric data (fingerprints and photograph). The ICA website will provide specific instructions if this applies to your visa type.

6. Await Processing and Decision:

Processing times can vary depending on the visa type and workload. The ICA website provides estimated processing times for different visa categories. You will be notified via email about the application's outcome.

Learn the key requirements for Indian citizens to secure the right visa. Whether it's for a holiday, business, education, or work, we've got you covered with the necessary steps for a hassle-free application process:

General Requirements:

Valid Passport: Your Indian passport must have at least 6 months validity from your intended arrival in Singapore and at least two blank pages for entry stamps.

Visa Application Form: Download the Singapore Visa Application Form from the Immigration & Checkpoints Authority of Singapore (ICA) website.

Photographs: Two recent passport-sized color photographs are typically required.

Travel and Accommodation Proof: Provide confirmation of your travel arrangements (flight tickets) and accommodation details in Singapore.

Additional Documents (Depending on Visa Type):

Proof of Finances: Most visas (except VFTF) require documentation like bank statements or income tax returns to demonstrate sufficient funds for your stay.

Employment Pass: If applying for an Employment Pass, you'll need a confirmed job offer letter from a Singaporean company.

EntrePass: Business registration documents are necessary if applying for an EntrePass.

Dependant's Pass: Provide proof of relationship (marriage certificate for spouse, birth certificate for child) for a Dependant's Pass application.

The e-Visa option is not available for all visa types. However, Indian citizens can typically apply for a Singapore Tourist Visa electronically.

1. Gather Required Documents :

Valid Indian Passport: Your passport must have at least 6 months validity from your intended arrival in Singapore and at least two blank pages for entry stamps.

Completed Singapore E-Visa Application Form: This can be accessed electronically through the ICA website.

Two Recent Passport-Sized Color Photographs: Ensure they meet the ICA's specifications (refer to the website for details).

Proof of Onward Travel: Provide confirmation of your departure flight from Singapore.

Accommodation Details: Show proof of your booked accommodation in Singapore for the duration of your stay.

Financial Resources: While not always mandatory, some applications might require proof of sufficient funds to cover your stay (e.g., bank statements).

2. Apply Online via the ICA Website or authorized Visa partner :

- Visit the ICA website and navigate to the e-Visa application section.

- Follow the instructions to create an account and initiate your application.

- Fill out the online form accurately and completely, ensuring all details match your passport information.

3. Biometric Appointment (if applicable) :

Double-check all your information before submitting the application to avoid delays.

Thinking about visa fees is a crucial part of planning your trip. For Indian citizens dreaming of visiting Singapore, it's important to grasp the structure and details of Singapore visa fees. Let's make it easy for you to understand before you start your travel plans.

The processing time for a Singapore visa application from India can vary depending on several factors, including:

Visa Type: Different visa categories typically have different processing timelines. Tourist visas tend to be processed faster than, say, Employment Passes or EntrePasses.

Application Completeness: Ensure your application includes all the necessary documents and is submitted correctly to avoid delays due to missing information.

Current Workload: The Immigration & Checkpoints Authority of Singapore (ICA) might experience fluctuations in workload, which can impact processing times.

Here is the processing time for some common Singapore Visa types :

Tourist Visa: The processing time for a Singapore Tourist Visa for Indian citizens is generally 3 to 5 working days (excluding the day of submission, weekends, and public holidays).

Employment Pass: Processing times for Employment Passes can vary depending on the complexity of the application and can range from a few weeks to several months . Confirmation from a Singaporean employer is typically required.

EntrePass: Similar to Employment Passes, EntrePass applications can take a few weeks to several months to process, depending on the complexity of the business proposal and supporting documents.

Dependant's Pass: Dependant's Pass applications are usually processed within 2 to 4 weeks.

Long-Term Visit Pass (LTVP):   The processing time for an LTVP can vary depending on the reason for the long-term stay and the complexity of the application. It typically ranges from a few weeks to several months.

For most Singapore visas held by Indians, you don't actually renew them. Instead, you apply for a new visa when yours nears expiry.

Most Cases: Fresh Application Required

For most Singapore visa categories held by Indian citizens, when the visa nears expiry, a fresh application for the desired visa type is required instead of a direct renewal process. This applies to visas like:

• Tourist Visa: You'll need to re-apply for a new Tourist Visa if you wish to visit Singapore again after your current visa expires.
• Employment Pass: If your Employment Pass is nearing expiry, you'll likely need a new application with supporting documents from your Singaporean employer.
• EntrePass: Similar to Employment Passes, EntrePasses typically require a fresh application process when nearing expiry, with updated business documentation.

Exceptions: Long-Term Visit Pass (LTVP)

The Long-Term Visit Pass (LTVP) might be an exception. Depending on the specific LTVP category and the reason for the long-term stay, there might be a possibility for extension or renewal within Singapore under certain circumstances.

There are limited cases where a Singapore visa extension applies for Indian passport holders. Here's a simplified breakdown:

- Generally, No Extensions: Most Singapore visas, like Tourist Visas or Employment Passes, require a fresh application instead of a renewal when they expire.

- Possible Exception: LTVP: The Long-Term Visit Pass (LTVP) might be an exception. Under specific circumstances, it might be possible to extend your LTVP within Singapore depending on the category and reason for your stay.

There can be several reasons why your Singapore visa application might be rejected. Here are some common ones to be aware of:

- Incomplete or Inaccurate Application: Ensure your application form is filled out accurately and completely with all the required information. Missing details or inconsistencies with your passport can lead to rejection.

- Missing Documents: Double-check that you've submitted all the documents listed for your specific visa type as per the ICA's requirements. Missing documents can cause delays or rejection.

- Passport Issues: Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from your intended arrival in Singapore and have at least two blank pages for entry stamps. Expired passports or insufficient validity can lead to rejection.

- Insufficient Financial Resources: For some visas (excluding VFTF), you might need to demonstrate sufficient funds to cover your stay in Singapore through bank statements or income tax returns. Lack of proof of finances can be a reason for rejection.

- Travel History: Previous immigration violations or a history of overstaying visas in other countries can negatively impact your application.

- Unclear Purpose of Visit: Clearly explain the purpose of your visit to Singapore in your application. Ambiguity or lack of a clear reason for your trip can raise red flags.

- Security Concerns: If there are any concerns regarding security risks or criminal history, your application might be rejected.

By getting your application ready with care, making sure everything is complete, and giving all the needed documents, you make it more likely for your Singapore visa application to be successful.
