Travel advice for Singapore

Normal precautions apply because Singapore has a good security standard, but travellers should check local conditions regularly.

Report mpox symptoms on arrival, present a yellow fever certificate after travel to risk countries or a long airport transit, and obtain entry permission to give birth in Singapore.

Travel to Singapore with normal precautions. Haze from fires in parts of Indonesia can temporarily worsen air quality and irritate eyes and airways. Older people, young children, pregnant women, and those with asthma or respiratory conditions should limit outdoor activities during increased pollution. For transit, keep one ticket showing the start and final destination with matching baggage tags; separate tickets can require entry clearance and may lead to refused entry.

Singapore is classified as safe, so take normal precautions, but consider delaying travel because Middle East disruption has reduced or cancelled flights. Ensure a passport is valid for six months beyond final regional departure and is undamaged, and complete the Singapore Arrival Card before departure, as stricter screening may prevent boarding. Using and importing e-cigarettes are illegal. Arrivals from mpox risk countries may be screened for fever and symptoms.

Take normal precautions, but guard against street crime, especially bag-snatching, and remain alert to the global risk of terrorism. Be vigilant in and around Singapore’s waters and the Malacca Straits, where attacks against ships have occurred, and protect yourself from mosquito bites because dengue is common. Monitor haze advisories, as fires in Indonesia can cause high air pollution, and observe Singapore’s strict drug and controlled-medication laws.
