Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must be valid for the duration of your stay | Your passport needs to be valid for at least the length of your stay in Singapore. Airlines check this at check-in — if your passport expires before you leave Singapore, you will be denied boarding. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Singapore | Immigration officers routinely ask for proof of onward travel. Have a printed or digital copy of your return flight or a ticket to your next destination ready. Budget airlines are especially strict about this at check-in. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Carry a hotel confirmation or a letter of invitation from your host. Immigration rarely asks, but if they do and you have nothing, you may be questioned further. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Sufficient cash or bank statement | Have access to at least SGD 1,000–2,000 for a short stay. A bank statement or credit card is fine — immigration rarely checks, but it's one less thing to worry about. | Recommended |
| SG Arrival Card (electronic) Online pre-registration for all visitors | All travellers entering Singapore must submit the SG Arrival Card online within 3 days before arrival. Fill it in at the ICA website — it takes 5 minutes and gives you a QR code for faster immigration clearance.Submit SG Arrival Card | Required |
Overstaying is not worth it
Singapore is strict about overstaying. Even one day over your 30-day limit can result in a fine of SGD 500–1,000, a formal warning, or a ban from re-entering. If you need more time, leave and re-enter from Malaysia or Indonesia before your 30 days are up.
SG Arrival Card is mandatory
Every traveller must submit the SG Arrival Card before arrival. It's free, digital, and takes 5 minutes. Do it on the ICA website or MyICA app within 3 days of your flight. Without it, you'll be held up at immigration.

Frequently asked questions
No. The visa-free entry for Bosnia and Herzegovina passport holders is not extendable. If you need to stay longer, you must apply for a visa before travelling or leave and re-enter after a short trip to a neighbouring country (like Malaysia or Indonesia). Overstaying is serious — fines start at SGD 500 and can lead to a ban.
Yes, an onward ticket to any destination works. It just needs to be a confirmed booking showing you'll leave Singapore within 30 days. A bus or ferry ticket to Malaysia is also accepted if you have the booking confirmation.
You can still submit it at the airport using the free Wi-Fi or at a kiosk near immigration. But it's much easier to do it before you fly — the form takes 5 minutes and saves you standing in line fiddling with your phone.
No. Singapore does not offer visa on arrival for any nationality. You either qualify for visa-free entry (which you do) or need to apply for a visa in advance. Your 30-day visa-free entry is the standard option.
No. The visa-free entry is strictly for tourism, business meetings, or transit. You cannot take up employment or enrol in a course. For work or study, you need the appropriate work pass or student pass applied for before you arrive.
You will likely be denied boarding by the airline. Singapore immigration strictly enforces the 6-month validity rule. If your passport is close to expiring, renew it before you book your trip.
No routine vaccinations are required for entry. However, if you're arriving from a country with yellow fever risk, you need a yellow fever vaccination certificate. For most travellers from Bosnia and Herzegovina, no special shots are needed.
