Singapore visa consular districts

The classification of Singapore visa consular districts

The classification of Singapore visa consular districts is mainly based on the applicant’s nationality or place of residence. Generally speaking, applicants can choose the corresponding consular district to apply for a visa based on their nationality or place of residence.

Specifically, the Singapore visa consular districts are divided as follows:

Mainland China: Consulates in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen and other cities are responsible for visa applications in mainland China.

Hong Kong Special Administrative Region: The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region can apply for a Singapore visa independently, and the consulate is located in Hong Kong.

Taiwan: Taiwan can apply for a Singapore visa independently, and the consulate is located in Taipei.

The period of stay for a Singapore visa depends on the visa type and the situation of the visa holder. Generally speaking, the period of stay for a tourist visa ranges from 30 days to 90 days, and the period of stay for a business visa for 14 days. If the visa holder needs to stay in Singapore for longer than the period of stay specified in the visa, he or she needs to apply to the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority of Singapore to extend the period of stay. However, extension of stay is not guaranteed to be approved and needs to be reviewed and approved based on specific circumstances. If the visa holder needs to stay in Singapore for more than 90 days, he needs to apply for a long-term visit pass from the Singapore Immigration and Checkpoints Authority, which is valid for 2 years. The holder can enter and exit Singapore multiple times within the validity period, and the duration of each stay shall not exceed 90 days. It should be noted that the Singapore Immigration and Checkpoints Authority has the right to decide whether to approve a visa application or an application for extension of stay based on specific circumstances.

To sum up, applicants can choose the corresponding consular district for visa application according to their actual situation. It should be noted that the visa application policies and requirements of different consular districts may be different. Before applying, you need to carefully understand and prepare relevant materials as required.
