Singapore entry requirements
Travellers on New Zealand, Australian, US, British, Canadian, German and Japanese passports don't need a visa for a short visit to Singapore. Every traveller submits the free SG Arrival Card within 3 days before arriving, counting the arrival day, and a group travelling together can submit together. Singapore residents submit the health declaration part.
