Singapore Visa for Pakistani Green Passport: 2025 Complete Guide

Pakistan “green passport” holders must obtain a Singapore visa before travel; a visa is pre-entry permission only and final entry/stay is decided by ICA officers at the checkpoint.

Who needs a Singapore visa?

Holders of Pakistani passports require a visa to travel to Singapore. Country-specific guidance also highlights when a Letter of Introduction (Form V39A) from a Singapore citizen/PR may be required to support the application.

Visa Basics in One Look:

• Purpose covered: short-term tourism or business (pre-entry). Final stay permission is issued as a Short-Term Visit Pass (STVP) on arrival.
• Decision at border: length of stay and entry are determined by ICA officers on arrival.
• Typical stay granted: up to 30 days; eligible visitors may apply to extend up to a total of 89 days from date of entry, subject to ICA approval.
• SG Arrival Card (SGAC): all foreign visitors must submit it within 3 days before arrival (including the day of arrival).

 

How to Apply (Pakistan → Singapore)

You cannot apply at Singapore airport or ICA counters. Use one of the approved routes below.

Via a Local Contact in Singapore (online, SAVE system)

If you have a Singapore citizen/PR (21+) as a local contact, they can apply for your visa online using ICA’s SAVE system and print the e-Visa once approved. A Form V39A (LOI) may be required; ICA decides case-by-case.

Via an Authorised Visa Agent or a Singapore Overseas Mission

If you do not have a local contact, submit your application through an authorised visa agent appointed by a Singapore Overseas Mission, or apply at the Mission itself.

 

Documents Checklist (Pakistan)

Prepare the following (ICA/MFA core items; agents may request more):

• Passport valid 6+ months from entry date (bio page copy).
• Recent passport photo meeting ICA photo guidelines.
• Completed Visa Form (14A) and, if required, Form V39A (LOI) from your Singapore local contact.
• Travel itinerary (return ticket), hotel booking, and evidence of sufficient funds (as commonly requested by agents/overseas missions).
• Any additional supporting documents requested case-by-case by ICA or the Mission.

Important: A visa is not an immigration pass. Your stay period appears on the STVP issued on arrival, not on the visa.

 

Singapore Visa Fees and Processing Time

ICA visa processing fee: S$30, non-refundable. Third-party/agent service charges are separate.

Processing time: varies by caseload and route. Plan ahead and apply well before intended travel; allow additional time during peak seasons or if ICA requests more documents. (ICA/MFA do not guarantee specific timelines.)

SG Arrival Card (Mandatory Before You Fly)

All foreign visitors must submit the SG Arrival Card with health declaration within 3 days before arrival (e.g., arriving 30 June → submit from 28–30 June). This is separate from the visa and free of charge.

After Arrival: Your Stay & Extensions

• On entry, ICA may grant you an STVP indicating your allowable stay (often up to 30 days).
• Need more time? Eligible visitors may apply online to extend for up to 1 additional month, but never beyond 89 days from date of entry in total. Approval is discretionary.
• Do not overstay; penalties can include fines and future entry bans.

 

Practical Tips for Pakistani Applicants

• Sort your local contact early (if applicable). If ICA requires Form V39A, your Singapore contact (SC/PR, 21+) completes and signs it; ensure their Singpass details are correct for SAVE.
• Book refundable travel until approval. Visa outcomes are not guaranteed.
• Match all details across forms, ticket, hotel, and passport to avoid rework.
• Prepare proof of ties to Pakistan (employment letter, business documents, leave approval).
• Bank statements showing sufficient funds strengthen your file (missions/agents often ask).
• Submit SG Arrival Card in the 3-day window; submitting too early is not accepted.
• Keep copies of your e-Visa, itinerary, hotel confirmation, and return ticket on your phone and printed.
• Health & compliance: Check airline/ICA updates close to travel and ensure your passport has at least two blank pages.

 

Common Questions (Pakistan → Singapore)

• Is the visa multiple entry?

Visa validity and entries are at ICA’s discretion and printed on the e-Visa approval; entry and stay are still determined by the officer at arrival.

• Can I work on a tourist/business visa?

No. Short-term entry is for visits or business meetings only; employment requires a proper pass.

• Where do I apply if I don’t know anyone in Singapore?

Use an authorised visa agent appointed by a Singapore Overseas Mission or apply directly at the Mission.

• What if I need to stay longer?

Apply for an STVP extension online; approval is not guaranteed and total stay cannot exceed 89 days from entry.
