Singapore Visitor Visa
Singapore Tourist e-Visa — quick approvals for Indian travellers.
About the Singapore Visitor Visa
Indian nationals need an Entry Visa to visit Singapore. Visas are issued by the Immigration & Checkpoints Authority (ICA) and are obtained online (e-Visa) through Singaporean authorised visa agents (AVAs) or the embassy.
Standard visa is multiple-entry valid up to 2 years (issued at ICA discretion) with each visit up to 30 days. First-time travellers often receive a 35-day multi-entry visa.
Visa Types
e-Visa (Tourist / Social)
Standard short-stay visa for tourism, family/friend visit, attending events. Online via authorised agent.
Business e-Visa
For meetings, conferences, networking. Usually with an invitation letter from a Singapore-registered company.
Long-Term Visit Pass (LTVP)
For accompanying family members of Singapore Work Pass holders — separate ICA process.
