Can I get a visa on arrival when traveling to Singapore?

A more convenient visa method that is now popular in the world is the visa on arrival. The so-called visa on arrival means that people applying for ID cards do not need to apply for a visa in their own country, and only need to bring their own visa with them. All you need is your passport and entry permit for the country you want to go to. When the plane arrives at the destination airport, the customs office of the destination country will issue a visa. Moreover, this kind of visa on arrival has only unilateral effect.

Currently, Singapore does not implement visa-on-arrival policy for most countries in the world. Only a small number of Western countries have the privilege of visa-on-arrival.

In addition, if you are a Chinese citizen holding a valid visa from Australia, Canada, Japan, New Zealand, the United Kingdom and the United States, you can apply for a visa on arrival in Singapore, but the visa time is relatively short. It’s only four days long.

Furthermore, Singapore also implements a counter-visa certificate policy. For example, we Chinese citizens must go to the Singapore embassy to apply for a counter-visa certificate before arriving in Singapore. You can buy a ticket to Singapore and apply for a visa after arriving at the Singapore customs port. Of course, a valid passport is essential when applying for this visa, and a certain handling fee will also be charged.

If Chinese citizens want to go to Singapore without valid visas from the countries mentioned above, they must apply for a visa to Singapore. First of all, make sure that the passport in your hand is still valid, and then prepare the materials to be used. These materials are actually very simple, that is, two recent photos and ID cards are enough. The validity period of the visa is six months. Eighteen days, but the maximum stay in Singapore is seven days, and the processing speed is also very fast. You can get the visa within three days after submitting the materials. And the cost is not too high, just over a hundred yuan. But you need to pay a deposit, which is about 6,000 yuan. However, after returning to the country, the customs will refund the auxiliary deposit in full after reviewing the relevant materials.

However, some large domestic travel agencies have promised tourists that they can apply for visas on arrival. This is because Singapore takes some care of large tourist groups or that Chinese travel agencies and Singaporean tourism agencies have partnership. But if you are traveling on your own, don’t easily believe what the agency tells you about where you can get a visa on arrival.
