Most eVisa applications are processed within 24-72 hours. Expedited processing is available for urgent travel.
Do I need to visit the embassy in person?
If your nationality is eligible for an eVisa, you do not need to visit the embassy. Only nationalities that are not eVisa-eligible, or travelers applying for long-term visas, need to apply in person.
What documents are required?
For most eVisa applications you need: a valid passport with at least 6 months validity remaining, a recent digital passport-style photo, your travel dates, and a credit or debit card for payment.
How much does a Sg eVisa cost?
Fees vary by nationality and visa type. Use the eligibility checker on this page to see the exact cost for your passport.
Can I track my application?
Yes. After submitting, you'll receive a reference number by email. Use it on our status page to check progress at any time.
What happens if my eVisa is denied?
Denials are rare for eligible nationalities. If denied, you'll receive a full refund of the service fee. You may then apply through the embassy in person.
