Singapore is one of the most popular short-break destinations for Australians — a compact, clean, and endlessly fascinating city-state that offers world-class food, iconic architecture, and efficient public transport. The even better news is that getting in is completely hassle-free. This guide covers everything Australian travellers need to know about entering Singapore, including what visa-free entry covers, when a visa might be required, and how to apply if needed.

No. Australian passport holders enjoy visa-free entry into Singapore for stays of up to 90 days under the Singapore Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA) Visa Exemption Program.

The visa exemption covers the vast majority of Australian visitors, but there are situations where a visa or additional documentation may be needed:

If you do need to apply for a visa, you have three options. Applications must be submitted within 30 days before your arrival in Singapore.

A Singapore citizen or Permanent Resident (your "Local Contact") can submit a visa application on your behalf online using the ICA e-Service at ica.gov.sg. Your Local Contact will need a Singpass account to use the service. A visa fee of SGD 30 applies.

VFS Australia Pty Ltd operates authorised visa centres in Sydney, Melbourne, Perth, Brisbane, and Adelaide. Book an appointment at vfsglobal.com/singapore/australia and download the required documents before attending. A service fee of AUD 77 applies in addition to the visa fee of AUD 33.

Appointments are required. When attending, bring the completed Form 14A, a recent passport-sized photo against a white background, your original passport plus a photocopy of the biodata and signature pages, a VEVO printout confirming your valid Australian visa entitlement, and confirmed or tentative flight and accommodation bookings. The visa fee of AUD 33 is payable in cash only.

Processing takes 3 to 5 working days. If approved, your e-visa is sent via email and will specify the number of entries allowed and the validity period.
