What’s the Singapore Arrival Card?

The Singapore Arrival Card (SGAC) is required for all travelers entering Singapore, including Filipinos. Fill it in within 3 days before your flight and remember it is free. If a site asks you to pay, it is not official. Just use the ICA website or MyICA app and make sure your passport is valid for at least 6 months.

✅ You need to fill out the SG Arrival Card if you are:

• Any traveler entering Singapore, including Filipinos
• A Singapore citizen, PR, or long-term pass holder arriving by air or sea

❌ You don’t need to fill it out if you are:

• A Singapore citizen, PR, or long-term pass holder entering by land (Woodlands or Tuas checkpoints)
• A transit passenger staying inside the airport (not going through immigration)

💡 Important to know :

• Submit within 3 days before arrival
