What is Singapore Arrival Card?
The Singapore Arrival Card (SG Arrival Card) is a mandatory immigration form that all foreign visitors must complete and submit before or upon arrival in Singapore. This digital form collects essential information from international travelers for immigration control, health monitoring, and border security purposes. The Singapore Arrival Card is distinct from a visa—it is an administrative requirement that applies to all international arrivals regardless of their visa status.
Singapore has modernized its immigration processes by implementing the digital arrival card system, which streamlines border clearance and enhances security protocols. The form can be completed online anytime before your arrival, making the immigration process faster and more efficient for millions of visitors annually.
The Singapore Arrival Card is free for all travelers and takes only 5-10 minutes to complete online. Upon successful submission, you will receive an email confirmation with your application reference number and approval status.
