Singapore Information for Transit

All visa-requiring travelers must be in possession of a visa in order to be considered for entry into Singapore. This includes visa-requiring travelers who are transiting through Singapore. If your connecting flight requires you to go through immigration and collect your baggage before re-entering again for your next flight, you will need to be in possession of a visa. Please refer to Immigration & Checkpoints Authority’s website for visa application procedures.
 

Singapore Changi Airport offers an extensive range of shopping, dining and lifestyle options. Jetsetters who have a few hours to spare between transits can look forward to indulging in a full body massage, a dip at the world's only rooftop airport swimming pool or a relaxing stroll within its Butterfly Garden–a world’s first in an airport. Travelers can also find leisure options at the Entertainment Deck, which houses movie theatres, children’s playgrounds, MTV music booths, LAN Gaming as well as Xbox 360 and PlayStation® 3 gaming consoles.

If you have at least five hours between transits, you may wish to join free guided tours that will bring you to attractions and landmarks around Singapore. These tours are jointly organized by Singapore Changi Airport and Singapore Airlines.
