Visa Application Requirements
Important note: To ensure greater transparency in the fees charged for Singapore visa applications, a fixed visa fee of RMB 300 is charged with effect from 1 February 2017, by all Authorised Visa Agents in China. The fixed fee is inclusive of the visa processing fee of SGD 30 payable to the Singapore Government and a service charge payable to the Authorised Visa Agents.
Please approach our Authorised Visa Agents for your visa application. The Singapore Embassy in Beijing and our Consulates-General in Chengdu, Guangzhou, Shanghai and Xiamen have ceased walk-in visa applications with effect from 8 Dec 2014.
Documents Required for Visa Application
You will need to provide the following documents to the Authorised Visa Agent, in support of your visa application. Additional documents may be required when necessary.
Some applicants may be required to provide additional documents, such as a Letter of Introduction.
Submission of Visa Applications
Visa applications must be personally submitted to the Authorised Visa Agents by the applicant, except for minors under 18 years old and other authorised applicants.
Visa Processing Time
The processing time for a visa application is generally 3 to 5 working days (from submission of all required documents to the Authorised Visa Agent). Some applications may take a longer time to process.
Collection of Visa
You will collect your e-Visa directly from the Authorised Visa Agent.
You may also check on your e-Visa via the “Enquire Application Status” function on ICA’s e-Service, using your visa application reference number and your travel document number.
You are strongly encouraged to print out and bring along your e-Visa when travelling to Singapore, to minimise inconveniences with the airlines and immigration authorities.
