  • Through a Singaporean diplomatic mission.

While you complete your visa application and assemble the necessary documents, you aren’t allowed to personally submit the Singapore visa application. Instead, you must engage an authorized visa agent, strategic partner, or a trusted local contact in Singapore to do so on your behalf.

Authorized visa agents and strategic partners, approved by the Singaporean government, can lodge your application through the SAVE (Submission of Application for Visa Electronically) available on the ICA’s website.

For guidance on connecting with a strategic partner, you can inquire at the nearest Singaporean mission. A Singapore local contact, someone you have confidence in and who is either a citizen or permanent resident, can also apply on your behalf if they are eligible to register on SingPass and are at least 21 years old.

If you opt for an application through a Singaporean diplomatic mission, you’ll need to communicate with them to understand their specific requirements and application procedures.
