  • If you have a valid visa of three months or more in your old passport, you can transfer this visa to your new passport. This will require you to submit the relevant documents to the authorised Visa Agents who may charge you a fee of INR 300. Applications to this effect are only accepted on Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. Always transfer your valid visa from an old passport to a new passport before travelling.
  • Incomplete forms or forms with false declarations could result in the application being rejected or a longer processing time
  • Possessing a Singapore visa does not guarantee entry into the country. This is determined by the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA) officers at the point of entry. You must also meet other requirements, which include a valid passport, sufficient funds for the period of stay and a confirmed onward or return air ticket from Singapore.
  • If you have a layover flight in Singapore, you can opt for a free Singapore tour available at the Changi Airport. This tour can be applied for if the period of stay is less than 8 hours. Otherwise, a transit visa will be required.
