Important Singapore Application Guidelines

• Submit printed hard copies of the documents, including the original passport, for processing.
• If you previously visited Singapore using an old passport, include the previous Singapore visa copy (if available) and the old passport’s first and last pages.
• If you previously travelled to Singapore, submit a new recent photograph that was not used for a previous Singapore visa application.
• If the passport was issued outside South India, provide employer address proof or a valid rental agreement.
• For family applications, one flight itinerary and hotel reservation copy is sufficient for the family.
• We recommend maintaining ₹80,000 in the bank per applicant; if sponsored, the sponsor should maintain that amount multiplied by the number of applicants. This is Sanctum’s documentation guidance, not a stated official government minimum.
• Apply within 30 days before intended travel. Prepare documents in advance.
• Indicative processing timelines: regular 5–10 days and express 3–5 days; these are not guaranteed and may vary.
