Immigration officers in the Philippines will perform an exit check where they will review your passport and possibly ask questions about your trip.

If your journey to Singapore includes transit stops in other countries, you may have to show your travel documents during transit . This is usually a quick process and typically involves showing your passport and boarding pass for the next leg of your journey.

The most thorough check takes place on arrival in Singapore. Immigration officers at border control will review your travel documents , including your passport, SG Arrival Card for Philippines citizens, and, if required, visa.

During this process, they may ask questions about your purpose of visit, duration of stay, and your accommodation arrangements in Singapore.

Customs officials may also check your baggage and ask about the items you are bringing into the country. You need to declare restricted goods using a customs declaration form.

When In Manila Search

Traveling to singapore soon here’s what you need.

Finally, after over two years of having nothing stamped on our passports, we finally get to travel out of the country again! And it’s no surprise that what’s currently popular among Filipinos as an international travel destination is the Lion City: Singapore . After all, it’s only a quick 3-hour trip, it’s visa-free, and there’s no need to do any quarantine or pre-departure tests anymore.

If you or anyone you know is visiting Singapore soon, here are the travel requirements you’ll need to prepare:

Note: These are for short-term visitors

1. VaxCert PH

Upon checking in for your flight at the airport, you will be asked to present your vaccination certificate (VaxCert PH) issued by the Department of Health where it shows your first and second dose as well as your booster shot (if you have already taken it).

To know how to generate your VaxCert PH, read our guide here .

As of April 26, 2022, all fully vaccinated individuals and children aged 12 years or below entering Singapore are NOT required to take a pre-departure rapid antigen test.

The list of approved vaccines is as follows:

• AstraZeneca
• Janssen/J&J
• Moderna/Spikevax
• Pfizer/BioNTech/Comirnaty

Visitors must be fully vaccinated at least two weeks before arrival in Singapore.

Tourists who did not take any of the approved vaccines listed above or have not taken the minimum dosage are considered NOT fully vaccinated and are thus not allowed entry to Singapore unless entry approval is obtained .

Boosters are not required for entry to Singapore.

2. Singapore Arrival Card

You will then need to complete and submit a Singapore Arrival Card (SGAC), which is an online travel and health declaration form, three days before your arrival in Singapore at the earliest. (For example, if you’re arriving on July 30, you can already submit the SGAC on July 28.)

Completing the SGAC will allow for a faster and smoother process through immigration at Changi Airport. Note that you must have received an email acknowledgment to confirm that you were able to successfully submit the SGAC. There’s no need to show the email acknowledgment to the immigration officer but it’s best to have it ready on your phone just in case.

Your passport will no longer be stamped at immigration too. Instead, you will receive an electronic visit pass via the same email you used to submit the SGAC stating the period of your stay.

3. TraceTogether mobile app

To comply with local health measures, you will also need to download the TraceTogether mobile app from the App Store or Play Store .

It’s pretty easy to set up; just follow the instructions, input the necessary details asked from you, and then activate the app ONLY when you’ve cleared immigration.

You may or may not be asked to use it upon entry to establishments for contact tracing purposes. In my experience during my stay in Singapore in June, I didn’t need to use it at all. However, it helps to have it ready just in case.

Requirements for flying back to the Philippines

Entering the Philippines after your trip requires another set of requirements.

The same regulations previously mentioned above apply.

2. One Health Pass

All travelers must complete their One Health Pass at least 48 hours before departure from Singapore. You may access it here .

You will present this prior to check-in at Changi Airport and again at immigration upon arriving in the Philippines.

3. Additional requirement for those WITHOUT booster shot: Negative RT-PCR test or Antigen test

Filipino and foreign nationals aged 18 and above do not need to take a pre-departure COVID-19 test if they have been fully vaccinated with the approved list of vaccines (stated above) for more than 14 days prior to departure from their country of origin AND have received at least one booster shot at any time prior to departure.

However, if you have not taken your booster shot, you will need to take either an RT-PCR test within 48 hours or an Antigen test within 24 hours prior to departure from Singapore and present a negative result.

Other useful tips for traveling around Singapore

1. use your grab app.

Grab is available in Singapore and is very useful for instances wherein you’re planning to go somewhere far but don’t want to commute (especially if you have tons of bags).

2. Purchase a NETS FlashPay card

If you’re planning to commute a lot during your trip, I highly recommend getting a NETS FlashPay card from any 7-eleven store. This saves you the hassle of paying cash every time you ride a bus or the MRT. A card costs 10 SGD each which already includes about 5 SGD load, and you can top up again at MRT stations or convenience stores later on. This card can also be used as a means of payment at various establishments!

3. Use Google Maps

Google Maps will help you find your way around Singapore, including which buses to take and where to get off. I would have absolutely gotten lost without it!

4. Rent a WiFi router or purchase a sim card

Though there are places around Singapore where you can access free public WiFi, it’s still recommended to have one of your own especially when you’re just commuting and need to constantly check Google Maps or other apps which require an internet connection.

Travel to Singapore from the Philippines: Singapore Travel Requirements for Tourists

Last Updated on April 20, 2022 by Tina

On March 4, 2022, Singapore started allowing tourists from the Philippines to travel to the “Lion City” through the Vaccinated Travel Lane (VTL). With the VTL, eligible vaccinated travelers can travel to Singapore quarantine-free if they meet all VTL requirements. On March 31, 2022 at 11:59 PM (Singapore time), Singapore transitioned to a new Vaccinated Travel Framework. It reopened its borders to all fully vaccinated travelers, not just those coming from VTL countries. Finally, we can now visit the most Instagrammable place in the world again as long as we are fully vaccinated. Planning to travel to Singapore from the Philippines soon? Read on to know all the Singapore travel requirements for tourists.

Who Can Travel to Singapore from the Philippines?

• Singapore Citizens and Permanent Residents (“SC and PRs”)
• Holders of a Singapore-issued Long-Term Pass (“LTPHs”) – holders of Work Pass issued by the Ministry of Manpower, Student’s Pass issued by the Ministry of Education, or Long-Term Visit Pass issued by the Immigration & Checkpoints Authority
• Short-term visitors (“STVs”) – travelers who are not SC, PRs or LTPHs

What are the Singapore Travel Requirements for Short Term Visitors or Tourists?

Singapore travel requirements starting april 1, 2022.

Disclaimer: Travel requirements to Singapore change every few weeks. While I will try to update this post regularly to ensure that the information here is as up-to-date as it can be, I cannot be held responsible for any errors. I advise that you check the Safe Travel website for the most up-to-date information.

Starting April 1, 2022, short-term visitors and work permit holders are no longer required to apply for a Vaccinated Travel Pass (VTP). VTL flights are also no longer required. You can book any flight to Singapore. And even if you spent the last seven days in countries/regions classified under the Singapore Ministry of Health’s (MOH) General Travel Category, you can enter Singapore quarantine free and won’t be required to serve Stay-Home Notice. In addition, tourists are no longer required to undergo Covid 19 testing upon arrival in Singapore.

The following are the new entry requirements to Singapore starting April 1, 2022:

• Vaccination- Travellers must be fully vaccinated. Regardless of the country of issuance and whether digitally verifiable or not, all vaccination certificates will be accepted as proof of vaccination. Exempted from the vaccination requirement are children aged 12 years and below.
• Determine if eligible for the Vaccinated-Recovered Traveller Protocol if you tested positive for COVID-19 in the last 90 days by using the self-checker tool .
• Pre-departure Test- a negative pre-departure test taken within 48 hours before departure to Singapore is still required. The test can be a Polymerase Chain Reaction test, a professional-administered Antigen Rapid Test (ART), or a self-administered ART that is remotely supervised by an ART provider in Singapore that provides such services. The pre-departure test report must be in English. Make sure that it contains your date of birth or passport number. 
• SG Arrival Card (SGAC) – this must be submitted within 3 days before arriving in Singapore. It is encouraged to submit your SGAC before departure for smooth check-in and arrival process in Singapore. It will minimize the manual document checks required. 
• Contact Tracing App- travelers are still required to download the TraceTogether mobile application on their mobile phone and register their profile for contact tracing. You can obtain TraceTogether tokens at S$13 per token from designated locations if unable to use a mobile device or unable to download/register for the TraceTogether app. They won’t check the app at the immigration in Singapore. However, you need to register after passing the immigration because you need it to enter establishments such as malls and hotels. You need a mobile number where a one-time password (OTP) will be sent when you register. If your number is on roaming, you can use it to register as long as you are able to receive the OTP. (You won’t receive the OTP if you’re not yet in Singapore and you register.) Otherwise, you can buy a tourist sim card at the airport.
• Visa- if required. Visa is not required for Filipinos to enter Singapore as long as they don’t exceed 30 days stay in the city-state.
• Travel Insurance- Singapore no longer requires tourists to purchase travel insurance when visiting the country. However, this is an IATF (Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases) requirement. Filipino travelers are required to purchase travel insurance before flying out of the country.

For more information about the Vaccinated Travel Framework, click here . 

COVID-19 has made traveling very difficult, but I’m glad that countries started opening their borders again. Hopefully, there won’t be new variants anymore, and that this pandemic will end soon. I don’t mind going through all these hassles as long as I could travel again, but it would be nicer if we could travel spontaneously again, just like the old times.

Pin this for later!

Singaporeans travelling to or residing in the affected areas of Mindanao are strongly advised to take all necessary precautions for their personal safety, including monitoring the local news and heeding the instructions of the local authorities. Singaporeans should remain vigilant and where possible, avoid crowded places, public gatherings, and areas where there are ongoing police or security operations. Singaporeans should also purchase comprehensive travel insurance and be familiar with the terms and coverage. Singaporeans are encouraged to eRegister with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs at https://eregister.mfa.gov.sg/ so that they can be contacted should the need arise.

Driving in the Philippines: Foreigners may use their valid foreign driver’s license in the Philippines within 90 days of arrival.  Conversion of foreign driver’s license to Philippine driver’s license is also allowed.

Please refer to the following links for more info:

http://ltoportal.ph/convert-foreign-drivers-license-philippines/

http://www.lto.gov.ph/frequently-asked-questions/license-permit

Government services scams: When dealing with Philippine government transactions, please refrain from going through third parties or shady deals if only to bypass certain procedures.  Though tedious, going through proper channels would avoid unnecessary trouble with the authorities.

ATM fraud: There have been a few cases where ATM machines have been tampered with skimming machines to retrieve information and make unnecessary purchases.  It would be best to withdraw from machines found in banks or busy areas.

Casino scams: Casino-entertainment complexes in Manila have been on the rise in the country’s bid to boost its share in the gaming industry, as gambling in casinos is considered legal in the Philippines.  While it has its own regulating body, avoid contacting loan sharks to support these vices.  Some patrons may end up highly at risk due to their inability to pay them back. 

Taxi scams: There are recommended precautions for taking cabs in the Manila:

1.  Look for Taxi Stands

2.  Keep Your Belongings with You

3.  Only Use Easily Identifiable Taxis

4.  Stick with Metered Taxis

5.  Check for Door Handles

6.  Be Wary of Shared Cabs

7.  Know Emergency Contact Numbers

8.  Know Where You’re Going

9.  Avoid Traveling Alone

10. Advise Friends & Family of your Cab Details

11. Pay While in the Cab using Small Peso Notes / Exact Amount

12. Look Behind You Before Opening the Door

Drug offences including the importation and possession of recreational drugs are punishable by life imprisonment.

The Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) has promulgated regulations on cross-border transfer of local and foreign currencies since 13 February 2009, with revisions on 23 August 2016 and 26 May 2022, on the amount of local and foreign currencies that a traveller can carry into and out of the Philippines. Amounts in excess of BSP’s limits require prior written authorisation from BSP before the importation or exportation of such currencies. Travelers should refer to the Foreign Exchange Regulations by BSP and the Philippine Embassy in Singapore for the latest information on currency restrictions for the Philippines.

Additional Information

Typhoons entering the Philippines could easily hit more than 10 a year.  The Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA), had warned the public that more typhoons are possible in the last quarter of the year due to La Nina.  Travellers should follow PAGASA’s Tweets or Facebook page for weather advisories. 

Earthquakes are a common occurrence in Manila. In the past year, 215 earthquakes (M1.5 or greater) have been tracked. Most have occurred to the south of Metro Manila.

General Travel Advice

Overseas Travel – Be Informed & Be Safe [Updated on 5 February 2024]

Singaporeans planning overseas travel are reminded to take the necessary precautions, including being prepared to deal with accidents, natural disasters or terrorist attacks. Singaporeans are also reminded to be familiar with your destination’s local laws, customs, and COVID-19 regulations.

Demonstrations do occur in major cities across the world. Such demonstrations can sometimes escalate into violence. It is important for Singaporeans to keep abreast of local news, avoid any protests or demonstrations and heed the advice of the local authorities.

When participating in outdoor leisure activities overseas, Singaporeans should be mindful that certain sporting activities, especially in open seas, may carry risks. Besides ensuring that one has the physical competencies and appropriate condition to undertake the activity, every effort should be made to ascertain if the trip organiser or guide is reliable and competent, and that appropriate safety and contingency plans are in place. When in doubt, Singaporeans should consult the relevant professional bodies or sporting associations for specific advice.

For those planning to travel, here are some tips:

Before travelling

• Familiarise yourself with our network of overseas missions.
• Purchase comprehensive travel insurance and be familiar with the terms and coverage.
• Equip yourself with research about your destination’s entry requirements, current situation, local laws and customs.
• eRegister with us on our website ( www.mfa.gov.sg ) so that we may reach out to you during an emergency.

While travelling

• Always take care of your personal safety, remain vigilant and monitor local weather news, advisories, and security developments.
• Exercise caution around large gatherings and avoid locations known for demonstrations or disturbances.
• Be prepared for possible delays and last-minute changes in travel plans especially during unforeseen events such as natural disasters, social unrest or terror attacks.
• Stay connected with your friends and family. Inform them of your whereabouts and provide them with your overseas contact details.
• In the event that you require consular assistance, please contact the nearest Singapore Overseas Mission or call the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Duty Office at +65 6379 8800/+65 6379 8855.

Advisory: Email Scams

There have been reports of individuals receiving scam emails/messages purportedly sent from friends in distress overseas. These emails/messages typically originate from an email address/social media known to the receiver bearing claims of the sender getting into trouble overseas and urgently requesting financial assistance. The sender would also claim to have approached a Singapore Embassy/Consulate and the local Police for help to no avail.

MFA takes the safety of all Singaporeans very seriously.  Singaporeans in distress approaching our Overseas Missions for assistance will be rendered with all necessary consular assistance.  If you receive such emails/messages from purported friends seeking funds transfers, we strongly advise you to call them first to verify the authenticity of the emails/messages before responding to their request.  It is also not advisable to give out any personal information such as NRIC/passport numbers, address, telephone number, etc.  Any form of reply, even one of non-interest, could result in more unsolicited emails.  Members of the public who suspect that they have fallen prey to such scams should report the matter to the Police immediately.  Should Singaporeans abroad require consular assistance, they can contact the nearest Singapore Overseas  Mission  or call the Ministry of Foreign Affairs 24-hr Duty Office at +65 6379 8800/+65 6379 8855.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is a ministry of the Government of Singapore responsible for conducting and managing diplomatic relations between Singapore and other countries and regions.

Requirements for Travel to Singapore from Philippines in 2023: Ultimate Guide

• February 2, 2023

Want to know the requirements for travel to Singapore from Philippines this 2023?

If you are a Filipino citizen and would like to travel to Singapore in 2023 as a tourist, then you will need to meet certain travel requirements.

In this article, we will discuss the requirements for travel to Singapore from the Philippines, as well as travel documents required for Singapore. We’ll also talk a bit about the Singapore Arrival Card (SGAC) for Filipino tourists.

Keep in mind that in this blog post, we’ll talk about these requirements that are limited to Filipino tourist travelers only.

Is Singapore Arrival Card a requirement to travel to Singapore?

Final thoughts on singapore travel requirements.

So, whether you are planning a trip to Singapore or just want to know what is required for you to go there as a tourist, keep reading!

Yes, all Filipino travelers are welcome to Singapore regardless of COVID-19 vaccination status. But in this article, we’ll keep it specific to vaccinated tourists only so it’s easier to understand.

Now let’s talk about what the entry requirements from Philippines to Singapore are.

Requirements for Travel to Singapore from Philippines (2023)

The country is slowly opening their borders and easing Singapore travel restrictions, you only need a few requirements to be able to travel as a tourist.

Fully vaccinated travellers can enter Singapore with no entry approvals, pre-departure tests, on-arrival tests and quarantine required. (Fully vaccinated and non-fully vaccinated children aged 12 and below by year of birth will be allowed to enter Singapore.)

Are you a Filipino citizen who would like to travel to Singapore in 2023 as a  vaccinated tourist ? Here are the Singapore travel requirements you need:

1. Valid Philippine passport

As usual, ensure your Philippine passport has at least 6 months remaining before expiration, or you won’t be allowed to board (or even check in for your flight).

2. Recognized Proof of Vaccination (Certificate of Vaccination)

Another Singapore entry requirement for post-COVID travel is a recognized vaccination certificate.

For us Filipinos, this means getting our VaxCert from the official DOH website.

Need help getting your VaxCert? Read this post on  how to get VAXCERT PH online  for more details. By reading that guide, you can get your certificate of vaccination online quickly and hassle-free.

3. Singapore Flight Tickets

Of course, you’d need to secure roundtrip tickets to Singapore since you’re travelling as a tourist.

Roundtrip tickets mean you have a flight from Philippines to Singapore, and another return flight ticket from Singapore to Philippines, so you can avoid getting offloaded .

You can keep a screenshot of your flight tickets in your phone. Based on my experience, though, the Philippine immigration prefers printed copy of your flight details so it’s good to also have one just in case.

4. Confirmed Hotel Booking

This next travel requirement is mostly required by the Philippine immigration department to make sure you’re travelling as a tourist abroad.

A confirmed booking document is as proof that you’ll be staying in one of Singapore’s accredited hotels or hostels. Here are the top-rated hotels in Singapore:

• lyf Farrer Park Singapore (₱5,500+ per night)

Book your DISCOUNTED stay at lyf Farrer Park Singapore here !

• YOTEL Singapore Orchard Road (₱6,500+ per night)

• BEAT. Capsule Hostel @ Boat Quay (₱2,500+ per night)

• Hotel G Singapore (₱4,500+ per night)

Book your DISCOUNTED stay at Hotel G Singapore here !

5. travel insurance.

ln the past, Singapore required travel insurance for Filipino travelers. But now, there is no need for travel insurance for fully-vaccinated short-term visitors.

BUT it’s different because the Bureau of Immigration in Philippines is requiring Filipinos to have travel insurance .

If you’re travelling internationally as a Filipino tourist, you NEED to have:

Travel and health insurance to cover travel disruptions and hospitalization in case of COVID-19 infections during their allowable period of stay abroad

Thankfully, it’s so easy to buy travel insurance. Here’s how I bought travel insurance for only ₱731 .

6. Singapore Arrival Card (SGAC)

3 days before arrival to Singapore (including the day itself), you’re required to submit SG Arrival Card and e-health declaration via the official and free e-service on the Immigration & Checkpoints Authority (ICA) website.

When you visit the Immigration & Checkpoints Authority (ICA) website, make sure to click on the Foreign Visitors section like this:

Yes, Singapore arrival card (SGAC) is still a travel requirement for travel to Singapore from the Philippines.

The SGAC is an electronic document that can be applied for completely online. Here are important details about it:

• SGAC is valid for a single entry into Singapore.
• Furthermore, entry to Singapore must be done in the 3 days following the approval of their Arrival Card, or this will expire.
• Filipino travelers who wish to re-enter Singapore will need to get a new Arrival Card each time they travel.
• Filipino citizens can use the SGAC to enter Singapore for tourism , leisure, medical treatment, business, or study (together with the visa, when required). Entry is allowed via air, land, or sea.

For more details about Singapore Arrival Card, you can see this guide on Singapore entry requirements for Filipino citizens .
