Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must be valid for the duration of your stay | Your passport needs to be valid for at least 6 months beyond your departure date from Singapore. Airlines check this before boarding — if your passport expires sooner, you will be denied boarding. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Singapore | Immigration officers routinely ask for a confirmed onward ticket. Have a printed or digital copy of your flight booking out of Singapore ready — they will check the date matches your visa-free stay limit. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or invitation letter | Carry a hotel confirmation or a letter from your host in Singapore. Immigration may ask where you are staying, and having a booking ready avoids delays. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Sufficient money for your stay | Have access to at least 1,000 SGD (or equivalent in cash, credit card, or bank statement). Immigration officers rarely check this for short stays, but it is a formal requirement. | Recommended |
Passport validity is strictly enforced
Airlines check your passport validity at check-in. If you have less than 6 months remaining, you may be denied boarding. Renew your passport well in advance.
No visa, no application, no fee
Romanian passport holders do not need to apply for any visa or pay any fee for stays up to 90 days. Just show up with a valid passport and a return ticket.

After clearing immigration, proceed to baggage claim, then customs. Unless you're carrying restricted items, you'll walk straight through the green channel.
