How to apply for a Singapore visa?
It is not complicated to apply for a Singapore visa now. Passport, ID card copy and photos are all electronic versions, and you can apply directly. It takes about 2 working days to apply.
Tips: Singapore visa is an electronic signature. It is recommended to print it out and save it with the documents for boarding and entering the country in the future.
At present, it is recommended to apply for a simplified 63-day individual and corporate tourist visa, usually with a stay of 35 days.
ATP should be processed 30 days before entry at the earliest and 7 days before entry at the latest. The application time of atp is generally about 3 days, and it will take effect after 7 days, and the validity period is 7 days. So before you go to Singapore, you'd better confirm when you will fly from China to Singapore. (For example, today is March 12, and you applied for atp today, then you can estimate that the fastest time to enter Singapore is March 2 1, so that you can choose the right flight. Don't buy a plane ticket in advance. It's safest to wait until atp has applied.
After the ATP application is successful, you will receive an e-mail containing an approval notice and a checklist for printing. The second half of the notice will basically be used as a visa.
According to the link on the ATP list pdf, you need to fill in a health statement within 3 days before boarding.
Before entering Singapore, download and register on your mobile phone, and start the application "TraceTogether" dedicated to tracking the epidemic. You must show it when you pass the checkpoint, otherwise you are prohibited from entering the country.
This App can only be used normally on mobile phones with Bluetooth function, so make sure that Bluetooth is always on.
Some domestic mobile phone models are incompatible. If not, you need to change a compatible mobile phone. You can also rent a mobile phone at the airport, about 10 Singapore dollars/day.
According to the regulations of Singapore, the "TraceTogether」App should be activated even within 14 days after leaving the country. This is done so that once infected by the virus, the contact person can be traced immediately and all the data in the application can be uploaded at the request of the Ministry of Health of Singapore.
