Travel insurance for Singapore

As of 2025, travel insurance is not a mandatory entry requirement for most short-term visitors to Singapore. However, the Singaporean government and international travel advisories strongly recommend it.

Because Singapore does not subsidize medical care for tourists, you would be responsible for the full cost of any treatment. We recommend a policy that includes high medical coverage limits and emergency medical evacuation to ensure you aren't left with a heavy financial burden in the event of an accident or illness.

Singapore is consistently ranked as one of the safest countries in the world. Violent crime is extremely rare, and solo travelers generally feel secure even at night. However, "safe" does not mean "no risk."

• Petty crime: Low-level theft, such as pickpocketing, can occur in crowded tourist hubs like Orchard Road or Changi Airport.
• Strict laws: Singapore is famous for its strict regulations. Activities like littering, chewing gum, or smoking in non-designated areas can result in heavy on-the-spot fines.
• Natural risks: Being in the tropics, flash floods can occur during the monsoon season (November to January).

For citizens of the United States, United Kingdom, and the European Union, a visa is generally not required for stays of up to 90 days for tourism or business purposes.

All travelers, including those who are visa-exempt, must submit the SG Arrival Card (SGAC) with an electronic health declaration within three days before arrival. Additionally, your passport must be valid for at least six months beyond your date of entry.

The ideal time to visit is between February and April, which falls during Singapore’s dry season. During these months, you'll experience less rainfall and slightly lower humidity levels, making it perfect for outdoor activities like visiting Gardens by the Bay or Sentosa Island.

If you are looking for cultural festivities, late January to February often features vibrant Chinese New Year celebrations. Conversely, the “wet season” peaks between November and January, so expect frequent, heavy afternoon downpours if you travel during this period.

Yes, the tap water in Singapore is perfectly safe to drink and meets the highest World Health Organization standards. You can save money and reduce plastic waste by refilling your reusable bottle at any tap or public drinking fountain.
