| Valid passport Must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your stay | Your Singapore passport needs at least 6 months of validity beyond your intended departure date from Liberia. Airlines check this at check-in — if your passport expires sooner, you will be denied boarding. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Required for entry | Immigration officers at Roberts International Airport ask for proof of a return or onward flight before they stamp you in. Have a printed or digital copy of your ticket ready — they check this every time. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Recommended | You may be asked where you are staying during your visit. Have a hotel booking confirmation or a letter of invitation from your host ready. A printed copy helps if your phone has no signal at the border. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Recommended | Carry evidence of sufficient funds for your stay — a bank statement or credit card showing access to at least $500 USD equivalent. Immigration rarely asks, but it can speed things up if they do. | Recommended |
