Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers to key questions about processing, fees, and requirements
Is the Singapore Tourist Visa single-entry or multiple-entry?
Singapore Tourist Visas issued to Indian passport holders are typically multiple-entry e-Visas, allowing you to enter Singapore multiple times during its validity — ideal for sightseeing, visiting family, and cruise trips.
What minimum bank balance is required for Singapore Tourist Visa?
Applicants must provide a 6-month personal bank statement with a minimum closing balance of INR 1,00,000 per person. Every page must carry an official bank stamp and signature.
What primary documents are needed for Singapore visa application?
Primary requirements include valid passport (6+ months validity), Form 14A filled & signed, 2 photos (35×45 mm matte finish), flight & hotel vouchers, day-by-day itinerary, and original 6-month bank statement stamped & signed on A4 paper.
Can I get doorstep document pickup for Singapore visa?
Yes, Trippovention offers physical document pick-up and delivery services across location boundaries (starting from INR 200 based on area).
How long does Singapore Tourist Visa processing take?
Standard processing is typically 4 to 10 working days from the date of submission to the High Commission/authorized visa agent. We recommend applying at least 2 to 3 weeks prior to your departure.
Can Indian passport holders apply directly on the ICA Singapore website?
No. Indian passport holders residing in India cannot apply directly online unless they have a local Singapore Citizen or Permanent Resident (PR) sponsor with Singpass. All other applications must be submitted through an Authorised Visa Agent (AVA) like Trippovention.
What are the photo specifications for Singapore Visa?
You need 2 identical color photos taken within the last 3 months, sized 35mm x 45mm on semi-matte or matte paper, with a pure white background, 80% face coverage, no borders, neutral expression, and ears visible without glare on eyeglasses.
Is the SG Arrival Card (SGAC) mandatory before travelling?
Yes. All travellers, including approved visa holders, must submit the electronic SG Arrival Card with Health Declaration online within 3 days before arrival in Singapore. It is free of charge via the official ICA portal.
What is the difference between visa validity and permitted stay duration?
Visa validity (often 30 days up to 2 years with multiple entries) is the timeframe within which you can travel to Singapore. The permitted stay duration per visit is determined by border immigration officers upon entry, typically up to 30 days per visit.
How can retired applicants, students, or homemakers apply without salary slips?
Retired applicants can submit their pension certificate or 6 months of pension statements with their personal bank statement. Homemakers and dependent students can apply with a Letter of Sponsorship from an earning spouse or parent, along with the sponsor's 6-month stamped bank statements, ITR returns, and relationship proof.
