Entry Requirements

Country information for Singapore

Singapore Arrival Card

Presentation of the SG Arrival Card is one of the basic requirements for entry into Singapore. All travellers, regardless of nationality and purpose of travel, are strongly advised to register their entry online, otherwise the entry process will be unnecessarily delayed. Registration is possible up to 72 hours before travelling via the Immigration & Checkpoints Authority website. Please note that the SG-Arrival Card is not a visa!

Exceptions:

  • Persons travelling through Singapore in transit without leaving the transit area.
  • Singapore citizens travelling through the land checkpoints.

Business Visum will gladly take care of the registration for you. 

Your advantage: Eliminate any deadline pressure and instruct us directly as soon as your journey is finalised. We will reliably keep an eye on the above-mentioned registration deadline for you!

Important: After registration submission, a confirmation message will be sent to the e-mail address you entered in the Easy Access order form. Please note that this should be an e-mail address that you can access at any time, as the electronic pass (e-pass) will also be sent to this e-mail by the Singaporean authorities after immigration clearance at the airport.

You can book our Service as usual via the Easy Access booking portal.

Photo Service

Photo Service

You want to ensure that your photo meets the requirements of the embassy and that your visa is approved without delay due to different quality or format requirements?

Then use the BUSINESS VISUM photo service!

We ask you to consider:  The photo must meet the official biometric requirements for the purpose of applying for a visa.

You can recognize a biometric photo by the following criteria:

  • The background is monochrome (white/light grey) and shows no objects or patterns.
  • The head position is aligned to the camera (automated biometric identification of the face and iris of the eye would be possible).
  • The facial expression of the person portrayed is neutral to serious (if you smile, your mouth must be closed!).
  • The view is directed directly forward into the camera (neither to the side nor up or down!).

Simply send us the photo digitally. We process photo sizes, duplicate and print your passport photos in the required number and quality.

An excerpt from our price list:

  1. duplicate photo = 21.90 € incl. VAT (net = 18.40 €)
  2. edit photo = ab 37.49 € incl. VAT (net = 31.50 €)
  3. print photo = 21.90 € incl. VAT (net = 18.40 €)
     
Application Support

Application Support

BUSINESS VISUM offers you the application support for two reasons:

  • The visa application may be multi-paged with many questions and/or complicated to complete. Frequently the questions asked are very complex. This takes a lot of time for the inexperienced.

    and/or
     
  • The application process runs online via a server in the target country, with frequent disconnections or stops in the process, because something has not been completed in the application as the embassy would like it to.

We would be happy to do this for you.
We are experienced in dealing with these applications on a daily basis, both offline and online.
We know which box must be filled in and how, so that the application is not only accepted, but the visa is also successfully granted.

The application procedure is as follows:

  1. You create an order in the Easy Access portal and under "Booking options" for the relevant country, select "Complete the online application using Business Visum". Then fill out the form under "Application form" and upload the necessary documents.
     
  2. We prepare the visa application (online or offline) and send it to the traveler so that he can sign the original application. He will send it to us together with all other documents for the visa procurement. As a result, our usual visa procurement process will start.

You can determine the speed of the application support yourself, depending on the desired urgency.

Translations

Translations

In cooperation with consulates and embassies, documents may have to be submitted to the national representations in the respective official language of the target country. These can be documents in connection with the application for a special visa (certified invitations, marriage certificates, extracts from the commercial register, etc.) or documents submitted for legalisation (powers of attorney, certificates of origin, commercial invoices, etc.).

Not everyone has a translator at hand right away. Depending on the document and the specifications of the target country, the latter must be approved as a sworn translator. Particularly in the area of documents to be certified, professional work is essential, since inaccuracies are not recognised by the authorities.

BUSINESS VISUM supports you with certified and sworn translators in all areas, regardless of the source and target language. Very uncomplicated and very fast.  If the documents have to be submitted directly to a consulate, you have the advantage of short distances and services from a single source.

Insurance

Travel health insurance of Hanse Merkur

The Embassy of the Russian Federation and some other Eastern European countries, and in exceptional cases China, require proof of travel health insurance when applying for a visa.

You can take out such insurance through our partner CARE CONCEPT AG.

Care Concept AG specializes in insuring people abroad. Germans and Austrians can be insured worldwide as well as foreigners in Europe. The insurance products include health, accident and liability insurance cover as well as assistance services such as the organization of medically necessary repatriation from abroad to the home country.

We recommend our clients, who will be in Russia for as many stays per year of up to 56 days each, to take out an international health insurance with the "Care Holiday" tariff. This rate costs only 10.90 € per year for travellers up to the age of 64 years.

But other rates such as "Care Travel" or "Care Expatriate" (for employee assignments up to 5 years) could also be interesting for you. With all tariffs, our partner takes care to offer you a very good price-performance ratio.

In any case, it is important for you: The application form can be completed quickly and easily in just a few steps. The insurance confirmation is sent directly to BUSINESS VISUM, so that we can immediately start or continue with the visa application without any loss of time.
