Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| eVisa application Required before travel | Apply for a Singapore eVisa at the official Immigration & Checkpoints Authority (ICA) portal. Processing takes 3–5 working days. You need a scanned passport data page, a recent photo, and a travel itinerary. The eVisa is valid for 9 weeks from issue date.Apply for eVisa | Required |
| Valid passport Must cover entire stay | Your Tunisian passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your intended departure date from Singapore. Airlines check this at check-in. No blank pages required beyond the visa page. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Required for entry | Immigration officers at Changi Airport routinely ask for proof of onward travel. Have a printed or digital copy of your return flight or a ticket to your next destination ready. This applies even if you have a valid eVisa. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Recommended | Hotel booking confirmation or a letter of invitation from your host in Singapore. Immigration may ask for it if you look like you're staying with friends or family. Keep a copy on your phone. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Recommended | Carry at least 1,000 SGD in cash or have a bank statement showing sufficient funds for your stay. Immigration rarely checks this for short visits, but it's safer to have evidence of financial means. | Recommended |
Passport validity counts from entry date
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the day you arrive in Singapore, not from when you leave. If it expires sooner, renew before applying for the eVisa.
Keep digital copies of everything
Save your eVisa, passport, return ticket, and hotel booking as PDFs on your phone. Also print paper backups — phone batteries die, and some airlines still ask for printed documents.

Frequently asked questions
Processing usually takes 1–3 working days. Apply at least a week before your flight to be safe. You'll get the eVisa by email.
The official fee is around SGD 30 (about 70 TND). If you use an authorized agent, they may charge a small service fee on top.
Extensions are not available for eVisa holders. You must leave before your 30 days expire. Overstaying can result in fines or a ban.
Immigration officers rarely ask, but it's wise to have access to at least SGD 100–150 per day. A bank statement or credit card is usually enough.
Rejections are uncommon but can happen if your application has errors or missing documents. You can reapply with corrected information. Contact the Singapore embassy in Tunis for guidance.
No. Immigration requires proof of onward travel. A one-way ticket may get you denied boarding or entry. Book a refundable onward ticket if you're unsure of your plans.
If you stay airside and don't pass through immigration, you don't need a visa. But if you plan to leave the transit area (e.g., for a layover tour), you need the eVisa.
