Applying for a visa to visit Singapore? Make sure you are in the right website

  1. If you have a local contact (Singapore Citizens/Permanent Residents aged 21 years and above) in Singapore to sponsor you for your visa, visit ICA’s website at www.ica.gov.sg for details on how to apply.

  2. If you do not have a local contact in Singapore, visit the Ministry of Foreign Affairs’ website at www.mfa.gov.sg for more details on how to apply through Singapore’s overseas missions and their authorised visa agents.

Reminder: Beware of other websites that claim to process your visa applications. Do not fall prey to these scam websites.
