Australia to Singapore visa requirements

Australians can visit Singapore visa-free for up to 90 days; submit the free SG Arrival Card within 3 days before arrival, including arrival day. Australian passport holders do not need a Singapore entry visa for business or social visit purposes, and Qantas Travel Insider's 17 June 2026 Singapore guidance states visits of up to 90 days. Entry is still decided by ICA at the checkpoint: eligible short-term visitors receive a Short-Term Visit Pass, generally as an electronic Visit Pass (e-Pass), which shows the maximum stay and last day allowed. Submit the free SG Arrival Card (SGAC) with electronic health declaration within 3 days before arrival, including the day of arrival, unless you are only transiting/transferring without immigration clearance. Most Australian travellers fly Singapore Airlines, Qantas, Jetstar, or Scoot direct from Sydney (SYD), Melbourne (MEL), Brisbane (BNE), Perth (PER), and Adelaide (ADL) to Changi (SIN). Work, study, journalism, residence, or non-exempt paid/unpaid activity requires the correct Singapore pass or approval.
