What is an SG Arrival Card and how do I get one?

The SG Arrival Card is an electronic document required by the Immigration & Checkpoints Authority (ICA) of Singapore for all travelers entering Singapore. It is not a visa, but a pre-arrival electronic submission that provides health, travel, and personal information for immigration clearance purposes.

Who Needs It?

All travelers, including Singapore Citizens, Permanent Residents, and Long-Term Pass holders (like Work Pass, Student Pass holders), must submit it before arriving in Singapore.
Short-term visitors (e.g., tourists, business travelers) must also complete the submission, even if they’re from visa-exempt countries.

Key Features

Replaces the physical disembarkation/embarkation card (white card) that was previously issued on planes or at checkpoints.
Includes a health declaration (especially important post-COVID).
Is valid for one entry only.
Submission should be done within 3 days (including the date of arrival) before your trip.
