Thailand to Singapore visa requirements

Thai ordinary passport holders can visit Singapore without an entry visa for up to 30 days. The actual e-Pass stay is set by ICA at entry, and the free SG Arrival Card (SGAC) must be submitted within 3 days before arrival, including the arrival day. As of 20 June 2026, Thai ordinary passport holders are visa-exempt for short visits to Singapore. Thailand is not on ICA's visa-required travel-document list, and Thai MFA Consular Affairs lists Singapore under ordinary-passport visa exemption with a 30-day maximum stay. Entry is still subject to Singapore's general requirements: passport validity of at least 6 months, onward or return tickets if applicable, entry facilities for the next destination, sufficient funds, and a yellow fever vaccination certificate if recent travel or transit history triggers that requirement. All foreign visitors must submit the free SG Arrival Card (SGAC) with electronic health declaration within 3 days before arrival, including the arrival day. Foreign visitors receive an electronic Visit Pass (e-Pass) by email instead of a passport stamp; the e-Pass shows the exact number of days and last day of stay granted. A Short-Term Visit Pass does not permit employment, business, professional activity, or occupation in Singapore unless the traveller separately holds a valid work pass or qualifies for work-pass-exempt activities. Visitors who need more time may apply online for an STVP extension when 14 days or less remain, but approval and any extension length are discretionary.
