Travel Essentials for Your SG Adventure

Singapore does not require a visa upon entry to most foreign travelers. Instead, it gives a 30-day visitor's pass. If you are planning to stay longer, consult your country's consular office and make sure that your passport has at least a six-month validity. You are also required to show a return ticket or entry permit for your next destination, and enough money for your stay there. If you lost your passport, report it to the police immediately and ask for a replacement travel document.

When in Singapore, smoking is prohibited in public places and transports and also within a five-meter radius from building entrances. The fine for such offence is a minimum of S$1,000 for first-time offenders.  

Transport

There are flights to Singapore using the Singapore Airlines from 63 cities all over the world including New York, Houston, and San Francisco. There are also flights coming from Africa, Europe, and other Asian nations.

Flying to Singapore is not the only means of transportation to enter the island nation. If you're entering the country from Malaysia and Thailand, you can either drive your car or ride on a coach. If you're driving, you have to secure a vehicle entry permit at the arrival zones.

Going within Singapore is also not a problem. You can use the MRT, bus, or taxi, all of which are efficient. The SMRT, however, is the fastest alternative to get around the city other than the taxi. It also has various ticketing schemes according to your budget and needs.  

Tax Refund

Tourists in Singapore are entitled to a seven percent tax refund for a minimum purchase of S$100 or more from participating retail outlets. You can get your tax refund at the departure halls of Seletar and Changi Airports as well as those who are on an international cruise whose final destination is not Singapore.
