How to get Singapore tourist visa

September 24, 2014

With the increasing tourist flow from India to Singapore, it is easier and faster to get a Singapore tourist visa for Indian passport holders. Before applying for a Singapore tourist visa, please keep the below points in mind:

Indian passport holders can apply for a Singapore tourist visa that allows a stay for a maximum period of 30 days with a validity of 2 years.
Similar to other country rules, even for Singapore, you should ensure that your passport is valid for 6 months from the date of entry in Singapore.
It’s a multiple entry visa which means that in the given visa validity you can travel multiple times and you won’t have to re-apply for a Singapore tourist visa.
If you are holding an old passport, it is safe to enclose the same with the application form.
Two recent coloured passport size photographs to be placed along with the visa form (35mm X 45mm, 80% face close up, matte finish, white background only). the colour of your top must be in contrast to the white background. One photograph is to be pasted on the Singapore tourist visa form and signed across. The second photograph should be attached with a gem clip along with the form. The photograph should not be older than 3 months.
In case you have more than 4-5 hours in between your connecting flights, you can opt for a free Singapore tour by registering yourself at the Changi Airport for the same. This is only applicable if your halt is less than 8 hours, otherwise, you'd need a transit visa.
Apart from this, applicants should also have sufficient funds for the period of stay in Singapore along with confirmed return flight tickets.
