Can I go? Entry and visas
From GOV.UK, for United Kingdom passports, updated 19 March 2026:
You can visit Singapore without a visa for tourism or business. The Immigration and Checkpoints Authority decides who can enter Singapore and how long they can stay. The period of stay permitted is at the discretion of the immigration officer. It is normally between 30 and 90 days for British citizens.
Passport validity
To enter Singapore, your passport must have an ‘expiry date’ 6 months after the date you arrive.
Check with your travel provider that your passport and other travel documents meet requirements. Renew your passport if you need to.
You will be denied entry if you do not have a valid travel document or try to use a passport that has been reported lost or stolen.
If you are resident in Singapore, there is no minimum passport validity required. Apply for a renewal before your passport expires.
