Canada to Singapore visa requirements

Canadians can visit Singapore visa-free for up to 30 days; SG Arrival Card required online within 3 days including arrival day. Canadian ordinary passport holders do not need a Singapore entry visa for short tourist or business visits of up to 30 days according to Government of Canada travel advice. Singapore ICA requires at least 6 months of passport validity, an SG Arrival Card (SGAC) submitted for free within 3 days before arrival including the arrival day, sufficient funds, and onward or return travel evidence if requested. The actual permitted stay is the period printed in the electronic Visit Pass (e-Pass) issued after immigration clearance, so travelers must check the e-Pass email or ICA e-Pass portal rather than assuming a fixed stay. Work, study, journalism, residence, and most long stays require the correct Singapore pass or visa.
