Frequently asked questions
- Does Singapore enforce the 6-month rule?
- Yes — strictly. Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your date of entry into Singapore, including for short transits where you'll clear immigration.
- Do I need a visa for Singapore?
- UK, US, EU, Australian and most Western passport holders can enter visa-free for short stays (typically 30–90 days).
- What about Changi transits?
- If you stay airside in Changi without clearing immigration, the 6-month rule doesn't apply to you — but the airline may still check. If you're transferring through the city or with a long layover, treat it as full entry.
- Do I need a blank passport page?
- Yes — at least one blank page for the Singapore entry stamp.
