SG Arrival Card
SG Arrival Card: Mandatory — submit free at eservices.ica.gov.sg/sgarrivalcard within 3 days before arrival. Failure to submit may result in denied entry.
Business travel
Visa-free entry covers tourism and short business meetings. Working in Singapore or receiving Singapore-sourced income requires an Employment Pass or S Pass obtained through your Singapore employer before arrival.
Connecting through Singapore
Singapore is a major transit hub. US citizens transiting through Changi Airport without passing through immigration do not need a visa. If clearing immigration for a Singapore stopover, the 90-day visa-free allowance applies.
Extending your stay
Extensions beyond 90 days require an application to the Singapore Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA). Long-term stay options include the Personalised Employment Pass and various work visa categories.
