Singapore’s tourist visa for Indians — officially the Social Visit Pass — is one of the more straightforward visa applications for Indian travellers. The application is handled online through the ICA (Immigration and Checkpoints Authority) portal, submitted via a Singapore-registered company, travel agent, or local contact. Here’s exactly what you need.
Singapore Tourist Visa Documents Checklist for Indians
1. Valid Passport
- Valid for at least 6 months beyond your intended stay in Singapore
- At least 2 blank pages
- Scanned copy of bio-data page
- All old passports with prior visa stamps (strengthens your travel history)
2. Completed Visa Application Form (Form 14A)
The Singapore visa application is submitted online by an authorised local contact or Singapore travel agent on your behalf using ICA’s SAVE (Submission of Applications for Visa Electronically) portal. You’ll need to fill Form 14A (Application for a Visit Visa/Entry Permit) which your agent or contact submits online. All fields must be completed accurately.
3. Recent Passport-Sized Photographs

- White background, no glasses, face clearly visible

4. Financial Documents

- Salary slips: Last 3 months (for salaried applicants)
- ITR: Last 1–2 years (not always mandatory but strengthens the application)
