Frequently asked questions
Do I need a visa to enter Singapore?
Most nationalities can enter Singapore visa-free for short stays; check the Immigration & Checkpoints Authority (ICA) visa requirement list at ica.gov.sg. If your passport requires a visa, apply online via the SAVE e-Service for your nationality or through an authorised visa agent — most nationalities no longer apply in person at the mission.
Do I need to submit the SG Arrival Card?
Yes. All travellers entering Singapore (except Singapore citizens and PRs) must submit the free SG Arrival Card online within three days before arrival at eservices.ica.gov.sg/sgarrivalcard. It replaces the paper disembarkation card and includes the electronic health declaration.
Do I need an appointment at the Singapore Consulate-General in Shanghai?
Yes. Consular and notarial services at the Singapore Consulate-General in Shanghai are by appointment only. Book via the appointment portal on the mission's website or by emailing the mission directly. Walk-ins are accepted only for genuine consular emergencies involving Singapore citizens.
What documents should I bring to my appointment?
Standard requirements: a valid passport (with at least six months' validity), a completed application form, recent passport-sized photograph, proof of local residence or visa, and any service-specific supporting documents (e.g. original marriage or birth certificate for notarisation, old passport for renewal).
Can I renew my Singapore passport here?
Singapore passports are renewed through ICA's APPLES e-Service at eservices.ica.gov.sg. Overseas Singaporeans can apply online and collect the new passport at this mission, or at an ICA Service Centre in Singapore. Processing typically takes 4–6 weeks when collecting overseas.
Does the Singapore Consulate-General in Shanghai cover my area?
This mission's consular jurisdiction covers Anhui, Jiangsu, Shanghai, Zhejiang. If you are a Singapore citizen living or travelling outside this area, please contact the Singapore overseas mission that serves your region, or the MFA Duty Officer in Singapore on +65 6379 8800 for urgent matters.

For genuine consular emergencies affecting a Singapore citizen (death, arrest, serious accident, natural disaster), call the MFA Duty Officer in Singapore on +65 6379 8800 or +65 6379 8855. Non-emergency queries should wait for the mission's working hours.
