Singapore’s Arrival Card Goes Digital

Effective March 27th, 2020, the physical arrival card used by travelers entering Singapore will be replaced by a digital version. This transition is part of Singapore’s efforts to streamline and enhance immigration procedures.

Digital Arrival Card: A Seamless Experience

All travelers arriving in Singapore are now required to submit their arrival details through the SG Arrival Card (SGAC) platform. The SGAC is an online portal that can be accessed via the Singapore Immigration & Checkpoints Authority (ICA) website or mobile application. The digital arrival card includes all necessary information, such as:

• Passport details
• Travel itinerary
• Accommodation details
• Health declaration

Travelers can complete the digital arrival card conveniently from anywhere with an internet connection up to three days before their arrival in Singapore. Once submitted, they will receive an electronic receipt as proof of completion.

Benefits of the Digital Arrival Card

The transition to a digital arrival card brings several benefits to travelers:

• Convenience: Travelers can complete the arrival card from the comfort of their own home or on the go.
• Time-saving: The digital format eliminates the need for physically filling out paper cards at the airport, saving time.
• Accuracy: Electronic submission reduces the risk of errors and omissions in arrival information.
• Seamless immigration: The digital arrival card allows for faster and more efficient immigration clearance at Changi Airport.

Important Reminder

Paper arrival cards will no longer be accepted after March 27th, 2020. All travelers are strongly advised to complete the digital arrival card before their arrival in Singapore to avoid any delays or inconvenience. Travelers who require assistance can contact ICA at 6891-6000 for support.

Singapore’s transition to a digital arrival card is a significant step towards modernizing and improving the immigration experience for all travelers. By embracing this digital solution, Singapore demonstrates its commitment to innovation and efficiency in border management.
