Singapore to Botswana visa requirements

No visa needed. Singapore passport holders can enter Botswana visa-free for tourism and stay up to 90 days within a one-year period. Singapore ordinary passport holders enjoy visa-free access to Botswana for short tourist and business visits. On arrival, immigration grants a stamp permitting stays of up to 90 days within any 12-month period. No prior application, eVisa, or visa-on-arrival fee is required. Travelers must hold a passport valid for at least six months beyond the intended departure date and should be ready to show proof of onward or return travel and sufficient funds (roughly USD 300 per person per week may be requested). A yellow fever vaccination certificate is required only if arriving from or having transited a yellow-fever risk country. Botswana operates an eVisa system, but it applies only to nationalities not on the visa-exempt list, so Singapore citizens do not need it for standard tourism. Visa rules can change at short notice; confirm with the Botswana High Commission or Singapore MFA before departure.
