Visa requirements for Singaporean citizens


Visa requirements for Singaporean citizens are administrative entry restrictions by the authorities of other states which are imposed on citizens of Singapore.
Singaporean citizens had visa-free or visa on arrival access to 190 countries and territories, ranking the Singaporean passport 2nd in terms of number of countries a passport holder can visit without pre-arrival visa arrangements according to the Henley Passport Index.
In addition to having visa-free access to all ASEAN nations, the Singaporean passport is one of the four passports that is allowed either visa-free entry, or entry via an electronic travel authorisation, to the world's four largest economies:
Visa requirements for Singaporean citizens were recently lifted by Djibouti, Uzbekistan, Armenia, Angola, and Guinea.
In August 2017, Singaporean citizens were made eligible for electronic visas with a validity of 8 days for the Primorye, Kamchatka, and Sakhalin regions of the Russian Far East, for tourism, business and humanitarian purposes. In January 2018, Australia introduced a new 6-year visa for Singaporean citizens. The visitor visa will allow Singaporean citizens to visit Australia for up to three months at a time within a 6-year period on a single application, up from 12 months under the pre-existing Electronic Travel Authority. In September 2019, Saudi Arabia made Singaporean citizens eligible for either an e-Visa or a visa on arrival as part of its plans to diversify its economy by developing its tourist industry.
