Singapore to Chad visa requirements

Singapore ordinary passport holders can enter Chad visa-free for short tourist stays (up to 90 days). Singapore is on Chad's official visa-exemption list published on the e-Visa portal (evisa.td). As of mid-2026, citizens of Singapore holding an ordinary passport do NOT need a visa to enter Chad for tourism or short visits. Singapore appears on the visa-exemption list published by Chad's official e-Visa portal (evisa.td) and is corroborated by Wikipedia's Visa policy of Chad. The exemption permits stays of up to 90 days. IMPORTANT CAVEAT: this exemption is relatively recent and, as of verification, is reportedly not yet fully reflected in the IATA Timatic system used by airlines for boarding checks. Travelers may therefore be questioned or, in rare cases, denied boarding by check-in staff who rely on Timatic. To reduce risk, carry a printed copy of the exemption list from evisa.td, proof of onward/return travel, hotel booking, and a yellow fever vaccination certificate (mandatory for Chad). All foreign visitors, regardless of visa status, must complete police registration within 72 hours of arrival. If you cannot confirm exemption status before travel, the fallback is to apply for a Chad eVisa (a 90-day multiple-entry short-stay eVisa costs approximately EUR 100). Confirm the latest status directly with evisa.td or the nearest Chadian diplomatic mission before departure.
