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 High Commission in Colombo?
Yes. Consular and notarial services at the Singapore High Commission in Colombo 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).
