The Singapore Arrival Card (SGAC) is a mandatory digital system established by the
Singapore government to streamline immigration clearance for all travelers entering the country.
All international visitors—regardless of nationality or visa requirements—must complete the
SGAC before arrival.
This online procedure is part of Singapore’s initiative to modernize border operations, enhance traveler screening, and strengthen security. Travelers provide personal, travel, and health information, which is processed by Singapore’s Immigration & Checkpoints Authority (ICA) to help ensure a smoother entry experience.
Whether visiting Singapore for tourism, business, family, or simply transiting through Changi Airport, completing the SGAC is an essential step before your journey. From exploring the Gardens by the Bay and Marina Bay Sands to enjoying Singapore’s diverse cuisine or attending global business events, travelers should complete the SGAC online in advance to avoid delays at immigration.
The official currency of Singapore is the Singapore Dollar (SGD), symbolized as S$ and abbreviated as SGD in international usage. Banknotes and coins are widely used, and electronic payments are extremely common. Singapore is a global financial hub, so major foreign currencies can also be easily exchanged.
Singapore recognizes four official languages: English, Malay, Mandarin Chinese, and Tamil.
● English is the primary working language of government, business, and education.
● Malay is the national language.
● Mandarin Chinese and Tamil reflect the major ethnic groups in Singapore.
Additionally, Singlish—a colloquial form of English mixed with local slang and phrases—is commonly spoken in everyday life.
Singapore has a population of approximately 5.9 million people (2023 estimate). Despite its small land area, it is one of the most densely populated countries in the world, with a highly diverse society comprising Chinese, Malay, Indian, and expatriate communities.
Singapore has a tropical rainforest climate, with consistently hot and humid conditions
throughout the year. Temperatures typically range between 25°C and 32°C (77°F – 90°F):
● Wet season: November to January, with frequent heavy showers.
● Dry season: February to September, though rain can occur year-round.
Singapore’s climate is influenced by the Northeast and Southwest monsoons, but weather
patterns are generally predictable: hot, humid, and punctuated by sudden tropical downpours.
Example of an Singapore Arrival Card (SGAC) Confirmation Email (for reference only)
When accepted, the SGAC is digitally linked to the traveler’s passport and travel record within ICA’s system. There is no need to present a printed copy unless specifically requested — ICA officers can verify the declaration electronically upon arrival. A new SGAC must be completed for each trip to Singapore, and it should be submitted within three (3) days before arrival.
If there are problems with the SGAC — such as missing, incomplete, or inaccurate information — travelers may be asked to resubmit or correct their declaration before boarding or upon arrival. It is important that all details, including personal data, travel itinerary, and health information, are accurate. Incorrect or false submissions may result in delays, additional questioning, or penalties under Singapore immigration laws.
Our role is to assist travelers in completing the Singapore Arrival Card accurately and on time. The review, acceptance, and verification of the SGAC are conducted solely by Singapore’s Immigration & Checkpoints Authority
