Singapore Visa

Understanding Singapore's Visa Types

Most international travelers require a visa to enter Singapore for tourism, business, or social visits. All applications are typically submitted through authorized channels appointed by the Singapore authorities. Traveriya provides expert guidance and manages these visa applications for you.

• Short-Term Visit Visa (Type C / Social Visit / Tourist Visa): This is the most common visa type for international nationals.
  • Purpose: Tourism, visiting family/friends, short-term social visits, or transit through Singapore.
  • Validity: Singapore typically grants a visa with validity ranging from 30 days to up to 2 years, allowing a stay of up to 30 days per entry (determined by immigration officers upon arrival). Multiple-entry visas are often issued, allowing repeated entries within the visa validity period.
• Business Visa (Type M):
  • Purpose: Attending conferences, meetings, trade fairs, or engaging in short-term commercial discussions.
  • Requirements: Often requires an invitation letter from a Singapore-registered company or organization.
