Do I need a transit visa to transit at Singapore Changi Airport? Where can I transfer in Singapore?
When traveling abroad, not all places are direct flights, and there are flights that require connecting flights. But there will be some issues about transiting in a certain country or city, such as visas, and what to do if it takes a long time.
Does a transfer require a visa?
This question needs to be analyzed in several situations:
1. Take a connecting flight of an ordinary airline to transfer in Singapore. If you don’t enter Singapore, you don’t need a visa.
When purchasing a connecting ticket (such as Singapore Airlines), you do not need to go through customs and collect your luggage at the border. When you arrive at Singapore Airport, you just need to transfer at the terminal. If you have luggage, the airline will transfer you directly to the next flight. There is no need to go through Singapore Customs, so no transit visa or Singapore visa is required.
A visa may be required for transit in Singapore.
What is a "turnaround"? A connecting flight means that the two flights you take are on the same airline. But if the two flights you take are on two different airlines (non-transfers) and your luggage is not directly transferred to the final destination, you need to go to the immigration hall through immigration inspection and require a transit visa or Singapore visa.
3 Transit visa is required to transfer in Singapore on low-cost flights.
If you are flying on low-cost airlines (low-cost airlines) such as Indonesian AirAsia, Thai AirAsia, Air India Express, Cebu Pacific, Firefly, Jetstar Asia, Lion Air, Scoot, Tigerair, etc. For flights, since there are no dedicated transfer check-in counters in the dedicated terminals used by low-cost airlines, you need to check in at the departure check-in hall after entering the country, so you need to apply for a transit visa.
However, now Scoot, Tigerair, etc. You can also purchase their transfer service, so you don’t need to sign a transfer agreement. You need to consult each airline for the details of this transfer service, so I won’t go into details here. (The little bee "Voyager 9" downstairs added: "Scot does not require any visa for transfers out of the airport." It is recommended to consult the airline customer service before traveling.)
How to waste time gracefully during transfers ?
The various shopping, dining, and entertainment experiences in the four major terminals of the airport will dazzle you.
Singapore Airport Transfer Tips
1 Airport Facilities
Singapore’s airport facilities and services are very complete. There are transit hotels and VIP rooms on the 3rd floor of each terminal (except T4), including water heaters and mother and baby rooms, playgrounds for children aged 1-12 years old, and interactive art areas. The entertainment area of ??T2 also has a one-stop multimedia entertainment center, such as PlayStation3 and Kinect.
2 Free WiFi for a limited time
Changi Airport WIFI
You need your passport and boarding pass to go to the information desk and ask the staff to get temporary WiFi password. The staff will automatically generate a numeric password after scanning your passport. When you use the password field to connect to the airport WiFi, you can select the correct 3 hours of free Internet access and enter the password when logging in. Internet access is free for 3 hours. After the time has passed, you need to obtain it again.
(Free WIFI does not require the help of staff. Connect to #Wifi@changi by yourself, open the browser, swipe your passport, obtain the password and enter it, and you can access the Internet.)
3 Get the latest paper guides on-site
There are paper guides available at each terminal detailing deals, coupons, shopping and dining guides at the nearest airport. If you are lost, you can consult the information desk, or go to the scanning machine next to the flight information announcement screen, show your ticket, scan the QR code, and check the boarding gate information and how to get there. Very convenient.
Where is the best place to visit in the airport?
Changi Airport is a real large shopping mall and amusement park. A wide range of duty-free shops sell everything from cosmetics, spirits, luxury watches to fashion accessories. The various delicacies and novel entertainment experiences will dazzle you, and one day and night may not be enough to visit them all. But transfer time is often limited, so choosing the one you are most interested in is the key.
The Cocoa Tree - a paradise for chocolate lovers
Here you can find chocolate brands from all over the world, including MM's, Toblerone, Coted'or and RitterSport. Leonidas and Newhouse.
(The cocoa tree is in Terminal 3)
Orchid Garden and Koi Fish Pond
The Orchid Garden is located on the second floor of the terminal, in the departure transfer hall . There are more than 700 kinds of orchids planted in the orchid garden, with more than 30 varieties. Orchids are notoriously expensive, but in Singapore, the "orchid capital", even rare species are freely available. In the koi pond, koi carps play in the flowing water under a small bridge, contrasting with the orchids.
Sunflower Garden
It is located on the third floor of Terminal 2, departure transfer hall. The transit hall is always crowded, but there is a secret garden hidden on the roof!
During the day, sunflowers sway brilliantly in the sunshine. At night, it turns into a light-themed garden, with small lights and petals magically changing.
A wide range of duty-free shops
The best brands of duty-free shops in Singapore are all here.
If you are pressed for time, it is recommended to choose one of T2 and T3 for shopping. Although there are many types of cosmetics, tobacco and alcohol here, the price advantage is slightly weaker than that at Hong Kong Airport.
There are also fun and exciting activities such as a free 24-hour cinema, new and advanced game equipment, real-life claw machines, and a four-story giant metal slide. The only thing to worry about is never missing your flight. Therefore, Changi Airport is also known as an airport where flights are most likely to be missed.
