eVisa required — no visa on arrival
Libyan passport holders cannot get a visa on arrival in Singapore. You must obtain an eVisa before you fly. Airlines will check this before boarding.
Passport validity counts from entry date
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the day you arrive in Singapore, not from your departure date. If it expires sooner, renew it first.
