The SG Arrival Card, also known as SGAC, is the online arrival card with electronic health declaration for travelers entering Singapore. This guide focuses only on the SG Arrival Card: who must submit it, when to submit it, what information is required, how to use the official ICA website and how to avoid unofficial paid services.
The SG Arrival Card is Singapore’s electronic arrival card. It includes the electronic health declaration required before arrival in Singapore.
The SG Arrival Card helps immigration authorities collect travel and health declaration information before travelers reach Singapore.
The SG Arrival Card is not a visa, does not grant a longer stay and does not change your visa status.
Travelers entering Singapore should check whether they must submit the SG Arrival Card before arrival. Official ICA guidance states that all travelers are required to submit the SG Arrival Card before arriving in Singapore, except for listed exemptions.
This can include short-term visitors, business travelers and other arrivals depending on their status and route.
Some traveler categories may be exempt from submitting the SG Arrival Card. ICA lists exceptions on its official entry requirements pages.
Because exemptions can change, do not rely only on third-party summaries. Check the official ICA website before departure, especially if you are a Singapore citizen, permanent resident, long-term pass holder, transit passenger or land checkpoint traveler.
You can submit the SG Arrival Card within 3 days before your arrival in Singapore, including the day of arrival.
You should complete it once your passport, travel date, accommodation address and arrival details are available.
Do not wait until the last minute if you can submit the form earlier within the allowed window.
To complete the SG Arrival Card, prepare your passport details, nationality, date of birth, arrival date, travel method, accommodation address and contact information.
You may also need to complete the electronic health declaration fields shown by the official ICA service at the time of submission.
Use the same details as your passport and travel booking to reduce the risk of mistakes.
First, go to the official SG Arrival Card e-Service operated by Singapore’s Immigration & Checkpoints Authority, or use the MyICA mobile app.
Then complete the online form with your personal, passport, travel and health declaration information. Review every field before submission, especially passport number, nationality, arrival date, transport details and accommodation address.
After submitting the form, keep the confirmation available on your phone or as a saved copy. Airline staff or immigration officers may ask you to confirm that your arrival information has been submitted.
If your travel details or health declaration change before arriving in Singapore, check the official ICA service for the current update or re-submission process.
Common details that may need correction include arrival date, flight number, accommodation address, contact information or health declaration answers.
Families and groups should prepare the passport and travel details of each traveler before starting the SG Arrival Card process. Children may also need their own arrival information submitted, depending on the official form requirements.
When traveling as a group, check each traveler carefully. A mistake on one passport number or arrival date can create delays.
The SG Arrival Card can apply to different arrival methods, including air, land and sea. The details requested may vary depending on how you enter Singapore.
Airport travelers should prepare flight details. Land travelers should check the relevant checkpoint rules. Sea travelers should verify the required arrival information before departure.
The official SG Arrival Card service is operated by Singapore’s Immigration & Checkpoints Authority. You should use it when submitting personal, passport, travel and health declaration information.
ICA states that SG Arrival Card submission is free and should only be done through official ICA channels, such as the SGAC e-Service or the MyICA mobile app. Be careful with unofficial paid services that imitate government pages or collect sensitive information.
The SG Arrival Card is an arrival card with electronic health declaration, not a visa. If your nationality requires a visa, you must obtain or verify the correct visa separately.
Travelers entering under visa-free arrangements, short-term visit passes, long-term passes, work passes or student passes should still check whether they need to submit the SG Arrival Card before arrival.
