What happens at the border
1
Arrive at Changi Airport or Woodlands Checkpoint
Most travellers fly into Changi Airport (SIN). If coming from Malaysia by land, you'll enter via Woodlands or Tuas checkpoint. Immigration counters are clearly marked for foreign passport holders.
2
Queue at the foreign passport counter
Join the line for 'All Passports' or 'Foreign Passports'. Have your passport and boarding pass (or onward ticket) ready. The officer will scan your passport, take a photo, and stamp you in.
3
Answer the immigration officer's questions
You'll likely be asked: 'How long are you staying?' and 'Where are you staying?' Answer clearly. If you have a return ticket, mention it. Keep it simple.
4
Collect your luggage and proceed to customs
After immigration, grab your bags from the carousel. Customs is usually green channel (nothing to declare) unless you have restricted items like alcohol over limits or tobacco.

Frequently asked questions
No. The visa-free entry is not extendable. If you need to stay longer, you must leave Singapore before the 30 days are up and re-enter (but immigration may question frequent back-to-back visits). Overstaying can result in fines or a ban.
You'll be denied boarding by the airline or refused entry at immigration. Renew your passport before traveling. The 6-month validity is strictly enforced.
No. Singapore no longer requires a paper arrival card or online declaration for Brunei passport holders. Just show your passport at the counter.
Yes. The same visa-free rules apply at the Woodlands and Tuas checkpoints. You'll still need a passport valid for 6+ months and a return ticket (though land crossings are less likely to ask for it).
