Belgian passport holders can visit Singapore without a visa for up to 90 days. This covers tourism, business meetings, and short-term visits. As of 2026, just show up at the airport with your passport and a return ticket.
Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must be valid for the duration of your stay | Your Belgian passport needs to be valid for your entire stay in Singapore. Singapore does not enforce a 6-month validity rule for Belgian nationals — just make sure it covers your travel dates. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Singapore | Immigration officers routinely ask for a confirmed onward or return ticket. Have a printed or digital copy of your flight booking ready — they check this at the counter before you get your entry stamp. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or invitation letter | Have your hotel confirmation or host's address ready. Officers occasionally ask where you're staying, especially if you arrive without a clear itinerary. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Sufficient cash or bank statement | Carry a bank statement or credit card showing you can support yourself during your stay. Singapore doesn't publish a fixed minimum, but having access to at least 1,000 SGD equivalent is a safe bet. | Recommended |
| SG Arrival Card (digital pre-arrival form) Online submission within 3 days of arrival | Submit the SG Arrival Card at eservices.ica.gov.sg/sgarrivalcard within 3 days before you land. It's free and takes 5 minutes — you get a confirmation email with a QR code. Officers rarely ask for it, but having it speeds up the automated lane at Changi.Submit SG Arrival Card | Optional |
Overstaying is not worth it
Singapore enforces overstays strictly. Even one day over can trigger fines and a re-entry ban. Set a reminder to leave a few days before your 90 days are up.
Changi Airport is efficient but busy
Immigration queues at Changi can be long during peak hours (morning and evening). Allow 30-60 minutes from landing to clearing immigration. The automated e-gates are for Singapore residents only — you'll use the manual counter.
What happens at the border
1
Arrive at Changi Airport
You'll land at Singapore Changi Airport (SIN). Follow signs to 'Arrivals' and then 'Immigration'. There are separate queues for foreigners — look for the 'All Passports' or 'Foreign Visitors' lanes.
2
Present your documents
Hand over your passport and (if asked) your return ticket and accommodation booking. The officer will scan your passport, take a photo, and stamp you in. No forms to fill out.
3
Receive entry stamp
The officer will stamp your passport with a 90-day visit pass. Check the stamp before walking away — it shows the exact date you must leave. If it's less than 90 days, ask politely why.
4
Collect luggage and exit
After immigration, head to the baggage claim carousels, then through Customs (green lane if nothing to declare). You're free to enter Singapore.
