Hong Kong (SAR China) to Singapore visa requirements

Hong Kong SAR ordinary passport holders can visit Singapore visa-free for business or social visits of up to 30 days. No visa is needed, but you must submit the free SG Arrival Card (SGAC) online within 3 days before arrival, including the arrival day. As of 2026-06-21, Hong Kong SAR ordinary passport holders do not need a Singapore entry visa for business or social visits of up to 30 days. The Consulate-General of Singapore in Hong Kong confirms that this visa-free treatment applies to HKSAR passports, while HKSAR Document of Identity (DOI) holders are a separate visa-required category. Travellers still need to meet Singapore's general entry requirements: a passport or travel document valid for at least 6 months, SG Arrival Card (SGAC) submission within 3 days before arrival including the arrival day, sufficient funds, proof of onward travel where applicable, entry documents for the next destination, and any yellow fever certificate if recent travel history triggers that rule. SGAC is free and should be submitted only through ICA's SGAC e-Service or MyICA Mobile. On arrival, ICA determines entry and the permitted stay through the electronic Visit Pass (e-Pass), which states the last day allowed in Singapore.
