SINGAPORE - ENTRY PROCEDURES & VISAS


Ships documents and a valid passport for all crew members must be on board. Most international visitors will automatically get a two week visa on entry. The initial visa is renewable for a further two weeks and it is possible to obtain extensions for up to ninety days. Private vessels may be moored in Singapore for long periods as entry visas apply to individuals only. Currently all immigration clearing out and back into Singapore by visiting yachts must be done at sea. Yachts requiring immigration clearance must display the “2” and “5” flags by day and two green lights in a vertical line by night. The officials will approach a yacht by small powerboat and it is prudent to carry a fishing net on a pole with which to transfer documents and thus save on paint/gelcoat. Two designated anchorages may be used. The first is Western Quarantine & Immigration Anchorage. This is just to the north of the Sister Islands. There are two immigration boats standing by in this area and they monitor VHF channel 14. The second designated anchorage is Changi General Purposes Anchorage.		The immigration officer will conduct a face-to-face check on all persons on the yacht. A Landing Pass valid for two weeks will then be granted. It is also possible for visiting yachts using Raffles Marina or Royal Singapore Yacht Club facilities to request the marina dock master to carry out clearance procedures on behalf of the yacht, for a fee. Prior notification is recommended. For general enquiries, the immigration checkpoint is at: Seaman’s Section, #3-01B World Trade Centre Maritime Square, Telok Blangah Road, Singapore 0409 Telephone: +65-273 0525 or +65-273 0053/4 The Port Clearance Office is in Tanjong Pagar Complex
