About the Singapore visa

Singapore offers Marina Bay, Sentosa Island, Gardens by the Bay and world-class food, all within a short flight from major Indian cities. Indian passport holders need a visa, which is issued electronically and usually takes 6–8 working days.

Indian applicants cannot apply directly to the ICA. Applications go through an authorised visa agent or the Singapore mission. Approved visas are emailed as an e-Visa, often valid for multiple entries.
