Singapore Arrival Card (SGAC)

The SG Arrival Card (SGAC) is a mandatory electronic declaration required by the Immigration & Checkpoints Authority (ICA) of Singapore. It incorporates both arrival immigration details and an electronic health declaration. All travelers entering Singapore—including foreign tourists, business travelers, and returning Singapore residents—must submit the SGAC prior to arriving at Changi Airport, Seletar Airport, or land border checkpoints at Woodlands and Tuas.

No. The SG Arrival Card is NOT a visa. It is a mandatory border declaration. If your passport nationality requires an entry visa to enter Singapore, you must obtain a valid visa through an authorized visa agent or Singapore overseas mission in addition to submitting your SG Arrival Card.

Singapore no longer stamps physical ink entry stamps into foreign passports. Instead, after clearing immigration automated clearance lanes or manned counters, an electronic Visit Pass (e-Pass) is issued via email to the address provided on your SG Arrival Card. The e-Pass states the period of stay granted and the last day you are legally permitted to remain in Singapore.

No commercial service can guarantee entry into Singapore. Entry permissions are governed solely by ICA border control officers on duty at checkpoints. NomadicMart is an independent application service not affiliated with the Government of Singapore or eservices.ica.gov.sg. We assist travelers by pre-verifying document details, ensuring health declarations are completed properly, and managing early queuing.

Passengers who are transiting through Singapore Changi Airport (SIN) on connecting flights without passing through immigration control (airside transit) do NOT need to submit an SG Arrival Card. However, if your transit involves collecting luggage, changing terminals that require clearing immigration, or if you plan to exit the airport to visit the city, you must submit the card.
