Singapore eVisa for Russians, Approved in 3 Days

Yes. Unlike Thailand, Turkey or the UAE, Singapore is not visa-free for ordinary Russian Federation passport holders. You must obtain an entry visa before boarding your flight. The good news is that the entire process is online, you do not need to visit the Singapore Embassy in Moscow or submit anything in person, our service handles your application end-to-end.

Russian travellers qualify for our most affordable Singapore visa pricing. Standard processing (8 working days) is $95 for Single Entry and $109 for Double or Multiple Entry. Priority processing (5 working days) is $122 for Single and Double Entry, and $129 for Multiple Entry. Express processing (3 working days) is $142 for Single Entry, and $149 for Double or Multiple Entry. Government and service fees are included, no hidden charges added at checkout.

Our checkout accepts international Visa, Mastercard, American Express and other global card networks. Russian-issued Visa and Mastercard cards usually do not work for international payments since 2022, and Mir is not yet accepted abroad. The simple workaround used by most of our Russian customers is paying with a card issued outside Russia, for example a UAE, Kazakh, Armenian, Turkish or Georgian bank card. A friend or relative abroad can also pay on your behalf, the visa is still issued in your name.

Single Entry is fine if Singapore is your only stop. Double Entry is popular with Russians who plan a side trip to Bali, Phuket or Bangkok and want to fly back through Changi. Multiple Entry is best for business travellers, frequent visitors and anyone using Singapore as a regional base, you can return as many times as you wish during the visa validity period. Multiple Entry visas for Russian passport holders start at just $109 with Standard processing.

Each entry permits a stay of up to 29 consecutive days. The actual length of stay is decided by the Immigration officer at Changi Airport and printed on your visit pass endorsement. The e-visa itself remains valid for several months from the date of issue, so you have flexibility to plan your travel dates as long as you enter within that validity window.

We offer three processing speeds to fit any travel schedule. Standard takes 8 working days, Priority takes 5, and Express delivers your approved e-visa in just 3 working days. Russian public holidays and weekends do not affect our timeline, but Singapore public holidays are not counted. Express is the popular choice for Russians who book last-minute winter escapes from Moscow or Saint Petersburg.

Singapore requires a Local Contact (LOI) for visa applications submitted by Russian nationals. This contact must be a Singapore citizen, permanent resident or registered Singapore company. If you do not have a friend or relative in Singapore, do not worry, we provide LOI sponsorship as part of every application fee, included in the prices on this page. You will not be asked to find your own sponsor.

Yes. Every traveller, including babies and minors recorded in a parent's passport, requires their own e-visa application. Parents and legal guardians can submit several family members in the same checkout, no extra processing time is required and you only complete the form once per traveller.

Yes. The SG Arrival Card (SGAC) is a separate immigration declaration that every visitor must submit within 3 days before landing in Singapore. It is not the same as your visa, even visa-free nationalities have to file it. Our team can prepare and submit your SGAC on your behalf as a low-cost add-on at checkout, so you arrive at Changi with everything in order.

Direct non-stop service between Russia and Singapore is currently very limited. Most Russian travellers reach Changi via convenient one-stop connections: Emirates and FlyDubai through Dubai, Qatar Airways via Doha, Turkish Airlines via Istanbul, Air Arabia via Sharjah, and Singapore Airlines or Scoot connecting through Bangkok or Kuala Lumpur. Total travel time from Moscow is typically 12 to 16 hours.

Absolutely, this is one of the most popular itineraries for Russian travellers. Changi Airport connects in under 3 hours to Bali, Phuket, Bangkok, Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City and Kuala Lumpur. A Double or Multiple Entry visa lets you fly out of Singapore for the beach portion of your trip and return for a few more days of city exploration before heading home.

Refusals for Russian passport holders are very rare, our overall approval rate is 98%. Visa decisions are made by Singapore's Immigration & Checkpoints Authority (ICA), not by us. Our expert reviewers significantly reduce rejection risk by catching missing documents and form errors before submission. If a refusal does happen, we notify you immediately by email and explain your options. Our Refusal Protection package is available at checkout for added peace of mind.
