For New Zealanders

All foreign visitors must ensure that they meet or possess the following entry requirements stated by the Singapore Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA).
For other foreigners and travel documents
Check if you need a Singapore visa or refer to the ICA website for additional visa requirements.
You will also need a visa if you are travelling on a Refugee travel document or an Alien's passport. This travel document is subject to assessment for entry into Singapore.
All holders of non-regular travel documents must consult the Singapore High Commission on visa requirements to enter Singapore.

Important notes
Incomplete forms and/or documents submitted may result in the application being rejected or the processing delayed.
Every application for a visa, including the duration of the visa granted, will be considered on its own merits and subject to approval.
Possession of a visa does not guarantee entry into Singapore. The granting of entry into Singapore is determined by the Immigration & Checkpoints Authority (ICA) officers at the point of entry. Visitors must also meet entry requirements such as holding a valid passport, sufficient funds for the period of stay in Singapore and confirmed onward/return air ticket (if applicable).
The period of stay in Singapore will be decided by the Immigration & Checkpoints Authority Officer at the point of entry in Singapore. Applicants are advised to check their passports for the arrival endorsement and take note of the duration of stay given.
Upon receipt of your visa, please review it immediately to check that the key details (e.g. name, date of birth, nationality, travel document number) and validity period are in order. Contact the Singapore High Commission at 04 470 0850 or singhc_wlg@mfa.sg by the next working day should there be any discrepancies.
More visa information, including Visa Free Transit Facility (VFTF) for transit travellers of certain nationalities, can be found on the following ICA website.
