96-hour Visa Free Transit Facilities (VFTF) for PRC and Indian nationals
PRC and Indian nationals who are in transit to or from any third country by air will be eligible for the 96-hour visa free transit facility (VFTF) if they are in possession of a valid onward air ticket departing within the next 96-hours and satisfy the following criteria:
Possess a valid visa/long term pass (validity of at least 1 month) issued by any of the following countries**:
a.Australia
b.Canada
c.Japan
d.New Zealand
e.United Kingdom
f.United States of America
g.Germany
h.Switzerland
Please do note that the VFTF only applies one way throughout the entire itinerary.
Single Journey Visas (SJV) issued by the above countries can also be utilised to qualify for VFTF, when transiting through Singapore on the return leg of the same journey. However the following conditions need to be met:
(a) the traveller travels directly from the country that issued the SJV, onroute through Singapore, directly back to the home country; and
(b) the traveller has not returned to one's home country since the SJV was last utilised
The VFTF applies for one transit in the itinerary. All transit passengers who satisfy the above criteria are not guaranteed entry but are still subjected to Singapore's prevailing entry requirements. Extension of stay for transit passengers under this VFTF scheme is strictly not allowed.
** A visa is considered valid if it is not expired and is good for entry into the third country.
