1 fields
Submission Type
select Required▸ 💡 Field guide
Choose "Submit SGAC" to file a new arrival card for your upcoming trip. "Update SGAC" is for changing a card you already submitted; "Retrieve Electronic Pass" downloads your e-Pass after entry. Individual foreign visitors do NOT need to create an account.
⚠ Common mistakes
- • Clicking "Retrieve Electronic Pass" before you have entered Singapore
Select Traveller Type
1 fields
Residency Type
select Required▸ 💡 Field guide
Most short-term visitors choose "Foreign Visitor / In-Principle Approval (IPA) Holder". Singapore citizens, permanent residents and long-term pass holders do not need to fill the SGAC at all.
⚠ Common mistakes
- • Choosing a Singapore Citizen/PR/LTP option "just in case" — the form is not for you
Arrival Date & Passport Details
6 fields
Date of Arrival
date Required▸ 💡 Field guide
Pick your arrival date from the calendar strip shown. The SGAC can only be submitted within 3 days (including the day) before your arrival in Singapore.
⚠ Common mistakes
- • Trying to submit more than 3 days before arrival — the form will not accept the date
Name (as in Passport)
text Required▸ 💡 Field guide
Enter your full name exactly as it appears on your passport, including the order of given name and surname. Do not use nicknames or abbreviations. If your passport has a middle name, include it. Match the spelling and capitalization exactly.
⚠ Common mistakes
- • Reversing the given name and surname order
- • Using a nickname or shortened name instead of the full passport name
Passport Number
text Required▸ 💡 Field guide
Enter the passport number exactly as printed on your passport. It is usually alphanumeric (e.g., E1234567A). Pay attention to characters that look similar, such as '0' (zero) and 'O' (letter O), and '1' (one) and 'I' (capital i). Do not include spaces or hyphens.
⚠ Common mistakes
- • Confusing '0' (zero) with 'O' (letter O) in the passport number
- • Adding spaces or hyphens that are not present on the passport
Date of Passport Expiry
date Required▸ 💡 Field guide
Enter the expiry date printed on your passport data page. The passport must be valid at the time of entry.
⚠ Common mistakes
- • Mixing up expiry and issue date
Date of Birth
date Required▸ 💡 Field guide
Select your date of birth using the calendar picker or enter it in the format DD/MM/YYYY. Ensure the date matches your passport exactly. Double-check the day and month order to avoid errors.
⚠ Common mistakes

- • Selecting the wrong year due to a typo
Nationality / Citizenship
select Required▸ 💡 Field guide
Search and select your nationality as shown in your passport. The list uses demonyms (e.g. "CHINESE", not "CHINA"). This practice list shows common examples only — the official dropdown contains every nationality.

Contact Details & Health Declarations

Enter a valid email address that you have access to. This will be used for login and to receive the confirmation email after submission. Use the same email for all travelers in your group if you are submitting on behalf of others.

- • Using a shared email that you cannot access later

⚠ Common mistakes
- • Answering NO when a previous passport had a different name spelling
Do you have any symptoms of illness?
radio Required▸ 💡 Field guide
Select 'Yes' if you are currently experiencing any symptoms such as fever, cough, runny nose, or sore throat. Be honest, as this information is used for health screening at the border. If you select 'Yes', you may be subject to additional health checks upon arrival.
⚠ Common mistakes
- • Underreporting symptoms to avoid delays
- • Misinterpreting 'symptoms' as only severe illness
Visited Africa or Latin America in the last 6 days?
