Do I need an entry visa to transfer in Singapore?

Whether passengers need an entry visa to transit Singapore Changi Airport depends on whether the airline to which the ticket belongs has set up a special transit counter at the airport.

Since low-cost airlines have no transfer counter in the transfer hall, passengers need to pay attention when purchasing air tickets. If passengers arrive in Singapore or leave Singapore by low-cost airlines, except in special circumstances, they need to take the following steps to transfer:

1. Bring valid passport, visa, printed departure ticket reservation form, etc. Go through the entrance formalities at the entrance examination office;

2. Collect luggage after entry (if checked before);

3. If you don't choose to stay in Singapore, you can go to the departure boarding hall of Terminal 1 and Terminal 2 to check in again and board the plane after customs inspection.

Q: What do you mean by special circumstances here?

A: If a traveler is going to leave Singapore on a low-cost airline flight, there are two special circumstances that do not need to go through customs clearance and entry procedures:

1. Passengers who take Air France, KLM, Emirates, Finnair, JAL, Jet Airways and Qantas on the first leg and take Jetstar Asia Airlines, Jetstar International Airlines or Lv Hui Airlines after connecting can go directly to the connecting VIP room of 1 terminal without going through customs clearance and entry formalities;

2. Passengers who have purchased ScootThru or RigerConnect service of Xinfeng Tiger Airways can be exempted from customs clearance and entry formalities (there is no need to enter Singapore), and their checked baggage will be directly hung to the final destination. The purchase methods, shopping places and related service charges can be consulted in official website of these two airlines.

If your flight meets the above special conditions, or is not operated by low-cost airlines, you don't need to enter Singapore. Just hold the boarding pass for the next flight segment, and you can check your luggage at the corresponding boarding gate (if necessary). If you don't have a boarding pass for the next flight, you can go through the transfer formalities at the nearest transfer counter in the terminal where the next flight is located.

Therefore, the primary criterion for judging whether an entry visa is needed is whether the nature of the flight is a low-cost airline, not whether the purchased ticket is a joint ticket.

Q: Which airlines do not need to enter the country for connecting flights?

A: In addition to the above special circumstances, there are at least 23 airlines whose connecting flights do not need to enter China, including popular airlines such as All Nippon Airways, Etihad Airways, Korean Air, Lufthansa, Malaysia Airlines, Singapore Airlines, Qatar Airways, China Eastern Airlines, Saudi Arabian Airlines, Delta Air Lines and United Airlines.

Q: What is qualification?

A: To apply for a transit visa, you need to meet the following basic conditions:

1) Take a flight from a certain country/region to a third country, stop in Singapore, and hold a departure ticket within 96 hours;

2) Holding valid visas issued by the following countries, the validity period of multiple-entry long-term visas (whether tourist visas, student visas, business visas or residence visas) must be at least 1 month, and the final destination is the visa issuing countries: Australia, Canada, Japan, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, the United States, Germany (Schengen) and Switzerland.

Don't be happy for travelers who meet the above conditions. According to the type of visa validity, the traveler's itinerary will be restricted to varying degrees:

1. For passengers with multiple long-term round-trip visas,

As long as the final destination is the issuing country of the visa, no matter how many countries/regions you have stayed in before transiting Singapore, you can apply for a transit visa on the way or return.

For example, holders of multiple-entry visas to Australia can start from China->; Malaysia-> ... (other countries)-> Singapore-> Australia-> Singapore-> Indonesia-> China, or from China-> Malaysia-> Malaysia-> Australia-> ... (other countries)-> Singapore->.

2. For travelers with single entry visas.

The final destination is the issuing country of the visa. If you choose to transit through Singapore on the way, you can apply for a transit visa no matter how many countries/regions you have stopped in before transiting through Singapore.

Travelers who hold a single round-trip visa from a designated country and choose to apply for a transit visa on their return journey must fly directly to Singapore from the visa issuing country, and return home directly after stopping in Singapore (China passport holders must return home) without stopping in any country/region. At the same time, travelers should also ensure that they have not returned to Singapore after using their visas in this country. For example: China-> Australia-> China-> Singapore-> China, that won't work.

In fact, the Singapore transit visa does not appear in the official documents of the Immigration Bureau at present, but it is still being implemented. The final decision on whether qualified China tourists can finally get transit visas is in the hands of airport immigration officials. Therefore, Kit Jun suggests that travelers who intend to apply for a transit visa should prepare sufficient and complete materials to ensure that they meet the application qualifications.
