Singapore Entry Visa | Step-by-Step Breakdown of Application Form 14 A

If you are a traveler from a visa-eligible country going to Singapore, then you must fill out Form 14 A, also known as a Singapore Entry Visa Application form.

Please note embassy officials require it. It will also be requested by the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA) when applying for your online visa via SAVE (Submission of Application for Visa Electronically).

To obtain a Singapore visa, you must ensure that Form 14 A is filled in legibly. Please note that filling an incomplete Form 14 A for Singapore will lead to a delay.

We suggest writing your email id and telephone number on the top right-hand corners of the Singapore 14 A Form. This way, the embassy can contact you if the immigration officials wish to establish further correspondence.

Currently, only citizens of visa-eligible countries traveling to Singapore are required to fill out Form 14 A.

Form 14 A Not Needed for U.S. Travelers

Form 14A will not be applicable to U.S. citizens as they are not listed in the visa-required countries list. Since U.S international passport holders are not required to apply for a visa prior entering to Singapore, an entry visa application will not be relevant to them.
