Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must be valid for the duration of your stay | Your Greek passport needs to be valid only for the length of your stay in Singapore — the 6-month rule does not apply here. Airlines may still check for at least 3 months validity beyond your departure date, so verify with your carrier before flying. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Singapore | Immigration officers at Changi Airport routinely ask for a confirmed onward or return ticket. A flight booking to any destination outside Singapore works — it does not have to be back to Greece. Budget airlines sometimes check this at check-in too. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or invitation letter | Have a hotel confirmation or a letter from your host in Singapore ready. Officers rarely ask for it, but if you arrive without a clear place to stay, they may pull you aside for secondary questioning. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Sufficient cash or bank statement | Carry at least 1,000 SGD in cash, traveler's cheques, or a credit card with a visible limit. Immigration can ask to see proof you can support yourself, especially if you have no return ticket or hotel booking. | Recommended |
Overstaying is not worth it
Singapore is strict about overstays. Even one day can trigger a fine up to SGD 2,000 and a ban. Set a reminder to leave before day 90.
No arrival card needed
Singapore scrapped the paper arrival card. Just your passport is all you need at immigration.
What happens at the border
1
Arrive at Changi Airport
You will land at Singapore Changi Airport (SIN). Follow signs to 'Arrivals' and 'Immigration'. There are separate queues for foreigners — look for 'All Passports' or 'Foreign Visitors'.
2
Present your passport
Hand over your Greek passport to the immigration officer. They will check your passport validity, may ask about your stay duration and onward travel. Answer clearly.
3
Get your entry stamp
The officer will stamp your passport with a visit pass valid for up to 90 days. Check the stamp — it shows the exact date you must leave. Keep it safe.
4
Collect luggage and exit
After immigration, head to baggage claim, then customs. There is nothing to declare for most travellers. Exit into the arrival hall.
