What happens at the border
1
Prepare documents before travel
Check your passport is valid for 6+ months from entry. Book your return/onward ticket and first night accommodation. Save screenshots of both on your phone. Consider getting travel insurance and a local eSIM.
2
Arrive at Changi Airport or other entry point
At Changi Airport (or by land from Malaysia), proceed to the 'Foreign Visitors' queue. Have your passport and boarding pass ready. The immigration officer will scan your passport, take a fingerprint (usually index fingers), and stamp you in. No arrival card or declaration is needed.
3
Receive entry stamp and stay duration
The officer will stamp your passport with a 90-day stay. Check the stamp before leaving the counter — if the duration is shorter (e.g., 30 days), ask politely for clarification. You can stay up to 90 days, but not work or study without a visa.
