Singapore Arrival Card (SGAC)
A Mandatory Travel Document for Entering Singapore
The Singapore Arrival Card (SGAC) is a mandatory digital entry document that replaces the old Disembarkation/Embarkation (DE) card. It collects your personal, passport, travel, accommodation, and health details.
Apply online within 3 days before arrival, and once approved, the card is sent to your email. Present it together with your visa (if required) at immigration for a smooth entry.
We can apply for your SG Arrival Card on your behalf.
Who Needs the SG Arrival Card?
All foreign visitors entering Singapore must complete the SGAC.
Transit passengers who remain in the airport’s transit area do not need to apply.
