Cost Of Singapore Visa For Indian Citizens

With its pristine weather, modern structures and world-class services, Singapore appears to be a paradise especially to those visiting this place for the first time. The city-state attracts several Indians throughout the year, with their budget being K40,000 (Approx). Now this budget is low, however one can still opt for a 5 star hotel and enjoy luxurious food. This is the amount each individual has to spend on two factors i.e. visa processing charges and cost of living. The visa processing charges vary according to how much applicant wants to spend on his/her stay.

The Indian passport has been ranked at the 6th place in terms of the number of countries that could be visited without a prior visa. Visa-free travel is granted to Indian passport holders by these countries in comparison to their counterparts. However, one of the most desirable would be to visit another country without having to apply for a visa before your arrival.

2.    Every application for a visa, including the duration of the visa granted, will be considered on its own merits and subject to approval.

3.    Possession of a visa does not guarantee entry into Singapore. The granting of entry into Singapore is determined by the Immigration & Checkpoints Authority (ICA) officers at the point of entry. Visitors must also meet entry requirements such as holding a valid passport, sufficient funds for the period of stay in Singapore and confirmed onward/return air ticket (if applicable).

4.    The validity of the visa refers to the period where the holder may seek entry into Singapore. The duration of stay is determined by ICA officers on duty at the respective checkpoints. 

5.         A Singapore visa is not an immigration pass. It is a pre-entry permission for the holder of a valid Singapore visa to travel to, and seek entry, into Singapore. The grant of an immigration pass will be determined by the ICA officers at the point of entry. Possession of a valid visa alone does not guarantee entry into Singapore.

The period of stay granted is shown on the visit pass endorsement given on your passport and it is not tied to the validity of your visa.
