A Singapore visa is not an immigration pass. It is a pre-entry permission for the holder of a valid Singapore visa to travel to, and seek entry, into Singapore. The grant of an immigration pass will be determined by the ICA officers at the point of entry. Possession of a valid visa alone does not guarantee entry into Singapore.
The period of stay granted is shown on the visit pass endorsement given on your passport and it is not tied to the validity of your visa.

Visa Fees
The processing fee per visa application submitted is the equivalent of SR80. This visa processing fee, which is collected by the Singapore government, must be paid to the authorised visa agent upon submission of the visa application. Personal cheques are not accepted. The visa processing fee is non-refundable regardless of the outcome of the application or if the application is withdrawn after submission.
Apart from the visa processing fee, the authorised visa agent may charge an additional administrative fee for processing the visa application. This administrative fee is not collected by the Singapore Government.
Processing Time
The processing of the visa will commence on the date when all documents are received in order and not when the incomplete application is first received. The visa application will be processed within 1-3 working days, excluding the day of submission. Some applications may take longer to process. Each visa application will be considered on its own merits. For further information pertaining to visa application matters, please visit the ICA website at www.ica.gov.sg
