Italy to Singapore visa requirements

Italian citizens do not need a Singapore entry visa for tourism or short business visits of up to 90 days. Submit the free SG Arrival Card within 3 days, including the arrival day, before entering Singapore. Italian passport holders do not need a Singapore entry visa for tourism or business visits of up to a maximum of 90 days. Entry is still assessed at the checkpoint: non-Singapore passport holders need at least 6 months' passport validity, and short-term visitors should carry sufficient funds plus proof of onward travel and any visa needed for the next destination. All travellers entering Singapore, except those only transiting without immigration clearance and certain residents using land checkpoints, must submit the free SG Arrival Card (SGAC) with electronic health declaration within 3 days, including the day of arrival. Singapore issues an electronic Visit Pass (e-Pass) by email, and the e-Pass shows the actual last day of stay. A Short-Term Visit Pass does not permit business, professional or paid employment activities unless a specific MOM work-pass exemption applies; work, residence, long-term study and journalism or other work-like assignments require the relevant Singapore pass.
