From February 9, 2024, Singapore will officially implement a visa-free policy for Chinese citizens entering Singapore, and Chinese citizens holding ordinary passports can stay for no more than 30 days. It should be noted that the Singapore electronic arrival card “SG Arrival Card” is one of the necessary materials for entering Singapore.
The Singapore electronic arrival card is an electronic version of the paper arrival card (commonly known as the white card) submitted by tourists when entering Singapore. Since the end of last year, the paper “white card” filled out when entering Singapore has become history, replaced by the “electronic arrival card”.
Except for Singapore citizens, permanent residents and long-term residence permit holders who enter Singapore through land checkpoints, all passengers entering Singapore through sea, land and air checkpoints must submit an electronic entry card and declare travel records and other dynamic information.
There is no charge for submitting an electronic arrival card. The Immigration Department reminds visitors not to be misled by businesses or websites that offer paid services to assist in submitting arrival cards.
Notice:newThe Singapore Arrival Card (SG Arrival Card) has a certain time limit and must be submitted within three days before the arrival date.
