Want a second pair of eyes on the form?
Before you start
- The passport you will travel with. ICA requires at least 6 months' validity.
- An email address you can read while you travel
- A mobile number with its country code
- Your flight number, or your vehicle or vessel details
- Where you will stay: the hotel name, or the full residential address
- Your planned departure date and your next destination after Singapore
- Where you have been in the last 21 days, for the health questions
On ICA's SG Arrival Card e-Service, choose I am a Visitor. It is for tourists, business travellers and those arriving with an In-Principle Approval (IPA) letter. You can fill in the form manually or autofill some fields from your passport or visa. Long-term pass holders use the resident option instead. The same form is in ICA's MyICA app.
Step 1: Traveller details

The health declaration
The health declaration is part of the SG Arrival Card. ICA uses it for disease control, to guard against importing infectious diseases of concern. The form shows the notice Providing False Declaration Is An Offence Under Singapore Law. On 28 October 2026 it asked:
- Do you currently have fever, cough, shortness of breath, headache, vomiting, dizziness or rash?
- If you answer No: Have you visited any of the listed countries in Africa or Latin America in the past 6 days prior to your arrival in Singapore? The form refers to the Communicable Diseases Agency's list of countries with risk of yellow fever transmission.
- If you answer Yes: Have you visited Bangladesh, India, Africa, the Middle East or Latin America in the past 21 days prior to your arrival in Singapore? For India the form names Kerala or West Bengal, and it lists the Latin American countries it means.
Travellers who were in a country with risk of yellow fever transmission in the 6 days before arrival must also show a valid yellow fever vaccination certificate at immigration. See Singapore entry requirements.
Step 2: Visit details
| Mode of travel | Choices | Details asked |
|---|---|---|
| Air | Commercial Flight; Private/Cargo Airline/Others | Flight code and flight number, or carrier name and flight number |
| Land | Bus, Car, Lorry, Motorcycle, Rail, Van | Vehicle number |
| Sea | Cruise, Commercial Vessel, Ferry, Private Craft | Cruise name or vessel name |
- Airline not in the list: ICA's FAQ says to choose Private/Cargo Airline/Others and type the carrier name and flight number.
- Bus number not known yet: ICA's FAQ says to enter BUS.
- Train number not known yet: ICA's FAQ says to submit on the day you travel, when you have the number, or to enter TRAIN and update the card when you know it.
Accommodation
- Hotel: choose the hotel from the list. If it is not there, choose OTHERS and type the hotel name.
- Residential: the address where you stay: postal code, block number, street name, building name, floor and unit number.
- Others: Transit or Day Trip.
Step 3: Review, declaration and submission
Check every traveller
Review each traveller's details. Use Edit to correct anything before you submit.
Agree to the declaration
You confirm that the information is true, accurate and complete. If you submit for someone else, you confirm that this person knows what you submitted. Both of you can be liable for a false or incomplete statement.
Submit
The e-Service shows a Tracking ID, and ICA sends an acknowledgement email. Check your junk or spam folder if you cannot find it.
Other declarations, if they apply
After submission, the e-Service offers a cash (CBNI) declaration for travellers carrying more than S$20,000 in cash or bearer negotiable instruments, and a customs declaration for goods above your allowances. See Singapore customs rules.
Submitting for a family or group
Use Add Traveller to submit for up to 10 people travelling to Singapore together on one trip. The lead traveller's trip details are copied to everyone. If one member's itinerary differs, untick the same-as-lead-traveller box for that person. Each traveller still has their own passport details and health answers.
Mistakes and how to fix them are in common SG Arrival Card mistakes.
With SingaporeDigitalCard, an independent paid service, you enter the same details in our guided form. Our team reviews them and files them with ICA inside the submission window. Health answers are filed exactly as given; we do not give medical advice.
