Good to know
No stamp: your e-Pass comes by email. All visitors can use the automated lanes at Changi without registering. Your iris, face and fingerprints are scanned when you arrive and leave. You don't get a passport stamp: your e-Pass is emailed to the address on your arrival card and shows your last day. Overstaying can mean a fine, prison or caning.
Fake arrival card sites. The SG Arrival Card is free on the official site, eservices.ica.gov.sg/sgarrivalcard, and in the MyICA app. ICA has named more than 60 websites that charge for it. Official ICA addresses always contain ica.gov.sg.
Airlines can refuse to fly you. Since 30 January 2026, ICA can tell airlines not to let you board a flight to Singapore if you don't meet the entry rules, for example if your passport has less than 6 months left. At the border you may be asked for a ticket out and proof you have enough money for your stay.
Drug laws are severe. Drug offences carry very heavy penalties in Singapore, including caning and, for trafficking, the death penalty. Officers can test you for drugs when you arrive, even in transit. Don't bring any cannabis products, including CBD.
