France to Singapore visa requirements

French citizens can visit Singapore visa-free for up to 90 days; submit the free SG Arrival Card online within 3 days before arrival. French ordinary passport holders do not need a Singapore entry visa for short tourist or social visits. ICA grants the short-term Visit Pass as an e-Pass at the checkpoint, and France Diplomatie lists the maximum tourist stay as 90 days. Travellers must submit the free SG Arrival Card (SGAC) with electronic health declaration within 3 days before arrival, carry a passport valid for at least 6 months after the planned departure from Singapore, and be ready to show onward or return travel, entry documents for the next destination, and sufficient funds. Work, paid or unpaid employment, long-term study, and residence require the appropriate Singapore pass before starting those activities.
