What is the Singapore Visa-Free Transit Facility (VFTF)?

Singapore has entered into an agreement with states that require a regular visa to enter the country. This agreement allows travelers transiting through Singapore to enter the country for up to 96 hours.

Visa-free transit is available for citizens of the following countries:

Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS)
Georgia
India
People's Republic of China (PRC)
Turkmenistan and Ukraine

—

Citizens of these countries who believe they meet the VFTF requirements must submit their case to the Immigration & Checkpoints Authority (ICA) at the point of entry. It is the ICA that reviews the application and decides whether to allow the traveler to enter Singapore. They have the right to refuse.

If you are approved for visa-free transit, you are allowed to leave the transit zone and stay in Singapore for a maximum of 96 hours. The period cannot be extended under any circumstances.

You can only use the VFTF once, either on a round trip or a return trip.

Requirements for the Singapore Visa-Free Transit Facility

The requirements for obtaining a VFTF vary depending on your nationality.

1. If you are from India or the People's Republic of China (PRC), you are eligible for VFTF if you meet all of the following conditions:

Depart directly from the country that issued the visa
Stop in Singapore for transit.
Return directly to your home country.
