Where to apply for a visa to Singapore Do Russians need a visa to Sinagapur
If you fly in transit and will be in the country until 96 hours, then NO. But remember, transit should be to the 3rd country! That is, you can’t fly from Thailand to Singapore and fly back to Tai. Transit Example: Thailand => Singapore => Malaysia. Otherwise, you will not be put on a flight without a visa. You can come to Singapore as you like (plane, cruise ship, bus), but you must leave Singapore within 96 hours by plane. Otherwise, you need to do a visa. The Singapore Embassy itself stopped issuing visas and delegated all powers to issue accredited visa agents. A visa can also be obtained through other companies that are not listed on the embassy’s website.
List of accredited visa centers where you can apply for a regular visa:
- Singapore Airlines , Moscow
- Pony Express , Moscow / St. Petersburg / Vladivostok
- VFS Global , Moscow / St. Petersburg
- Travel company Mandarin , Khabarovsk
- Travel company Frigate Aero , Vladivostok
Also, Russians can get an electronic visa online, which is much easier and more convenient, there will be no need to go anywhere. To do this, contact the intermediaries in Singapore:
- Global Singapore
- Singapore Visa Online
- Sentosa tour
The latter company is not on the consulate’s website in Moscow, but they received accreditation directly in Singapore.
The main list of documents for a visa
- A completed application form. Here is an empty form . An example of filling can be seen below.
- 1 color photo. Photo requirements: high-quality color photographs of a studio size in any digital format (jpeg, png, etc.), the face and head should be uncovered and the girls’ hair should be gathered back, on a white background.
- Scanned or photographed copy of the main page of the passport. The passport must expire at least 6 months at the time of entry into Singapore. If the child is inscribed in the parent’s passport, you must send a photo or scan of this page.
The list of visa documents may vary depending on the intermediary chosen. It lists the minimum that everyone needs. Below is more detailed for each of the 3 intermediaries. As I understand it, if the agent accepted the documents, then there will be no 99% visa refusal.
Registration of an electronic visa at 3 intermediaries By e-visa, I checked with three intermediaries.
I did as a result through Sentosa, since they have the lowest visa cost, and the hotel, which must be reserved only through them, , where I was going to book from the very beginning.
Sentosa tour (my version, personal experience)
The cost of a visa: $ 50 for 1 person, and in fact $ 53 comes out per person. When paying by card, they put up $ 53, apparently some commission did not ask. Registration term: 3-4 days. But in fact, they threw my visas into my mail one day after payment. Well, the hotel voucher is also with them. Sentose you send a minimum set of documents. Actually, in addition to the price, this bribed. Minimum hemorrhoids.
- It is necessary to fill out a questionnaire in electronic form on the Sentosa website.
- Take a photo of the main page abroad and attach it to the profile. I took a photograph on a small camera against a light wall in a hotel and then processed it in Photoshop. (background made more white). It took 10 minutes.
- Choose a hotel no lower than 3 * on Booking.com and attach a screenshot with the hotel, dates and price to the profile instead of a reservation (they told me so).
Sentosa considers documents for 1-2 days, and if everything is ok, then he says to pay for a visa and a hotel on his website (not on Bukienge). Specially send a link where you can make a payment (full amount). That is, initially I did not pay anything, I waited for the docks and the hotel to confirm. The site says that they may be asked to send additional documents that they consider necessary. In my case, they did not ask for anything. And this despite the fact that I was traveling with a girl up to (45 years old) with a child, and it’s always said that they don’t get visas at all if they are not married. So, they didn’t ask about marriage, as if you could write anything on the application form (they wrote that you were married). No documents were requested for the child either (only passport, photo, application form). Regarding the reservation. Sentosa promises to bill the hotel, the same as that of Bucking, no extra charge. But when I chose a hotel, being logged in to my account, my total cost for 4 days was 30 bucks lower. I don’t know why so, there are no discounts for my account, a regular acc. In case of refusal of a visa, money for a visa is not returned (like everyone else), and money for a hotel is returned. But, as I was told, they had no failures.
