Singapore Travel Advice

Make sure you are up-to-date with the pre-departure essentials before your trip to Singapore. 

Passport & Visas

Depending on your nationality, you may need a visa to enter Singapore. Many countries enjoy visa-free access or visa-on-arrival for short visits. Check the specific requirements for your nationality on the official website of the Immigration & Checkpoints Authority of Singapore or contact the nearest Singaporean embassy or consulate.

Ensure your passport is valid for at least six months beyond your intended date of departure from Singapore. This is a standard requirement in many countries and helps prevent any issues during your stay.

Bear in mind that our Singapore travel advice is for guidance only. You are advised to check the details as it is your responsibility to have all the official documents ready before traveling.

You can consult the latest travel advice from the UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office. We recommend all travelers to check their Government National Travel Advisory prior to their departure: Australia, Canada, New Zealand, USA

Travel Insurance 

You need to have valid and adequate travel insurance before your tour with Travel Talk begins. It is your responsibility to have your insurance ready, but we are more than happy to provide you with guidance in the process. You can visit our travel insurance page for more details. For now, here is some Singapore travel advice that you need to keep in mind when choosing the right plan.

  • To prevent any unwanted surprises, make sure your plan covers emergency medical situations, cancellations, and threats against your personal belongings.
  • Based on your tour, there may be adventure activities that your travel insurance does not include. So, look carefully at what your policy covers. 
  • Make sure you have the latest information regarding safety and health issues. You can find useful Singapore travel advice on governmental websites.
When to Go
  • High Season

The high season and also the best time to visit Singapore in terms of weather, typically falls between the months of June and August. During this period, Singapore experiences its dry season, characterized by lower rainfall and consistently warm temperatures. The skies are generally clear, and the humidity is slightly lower compared to other times of the year. These favorable weather conditions make it an ideal time for outdoor activities, sightseeing, and exploring the city-state’s vibrant cultural events.

While it is considered the high season, it’s essential to note that Singapore’s climate remains relatively consistent throughout the year, making it a year-round destination.

  • Shoulder Season

The shoulder seasons in Singapore, occurring from February to April and September to early November, offer a pleasant compromise between the high tourist season and the occasional rainfall of the monsoon months. During these periods, Singapore experiences transitional weather, with a mix of sunny days and short rain showers. The temperatures are relatively consistent, and the humidity is moderate, providing comfortable conditions for outdoor exploration.

This makes it an excellent time to visit popular attractions, enjoy outdoor festivals, and partake in various cultural events. The shoulder seasons allow travelers to experience the best of both worlds – avoiding the peak crowds while still enjoying favorable weather conditions for a delightful and diverse Singaporean experience.

Useful Tips for Singapore Tours

Money Matters

The currency in Singapore is the Singapore Dollar (SGD). We recommend you go to the city center to change your money.

ATMs are available in central locations, but access is difficult in rural areas. Credit cards are widely accepted except in some small shops.

We recommend carrying cash with you at all times. Some entrance fees may require cash payment.

The Food Scene

Singaporean cuisine is a delectable tapestry of flavors influenced by its multicultural heritage. Reflecting the diverse ethnic makeup of the population, Singaporean dishes seamlessly blend Malay, Chinese, Indian, and Peranakan culinary traditions.

Hawker centers, the heart of Singaporean gastronomy, offer an array of affordable and mouthwatering delights.

Signature dishes include Hainanese Chicken Rice, a fragrant and tender chicken served with seasoned rice, Laksa, a spicy noodle soup with a coconut milk base, and Char Kway Teow, stir-fried flat rice noodles with prawns and Chinese sausage.
