A passenger service charge of SGD 21 should be incorporated in the air ticket (including tickets issued outside of Singapore). If this has not been done, you may be required to pay the SGD 21 during check-in. In some cases, the airline may absorb the service charge. Passengers who are in transit for less than 24 hours may leave the airport without having to pay the service charge upon departure from Singapore.

All visitors need to go through immigration clearance when they depart from Singapore.

At the immigration counter, the visitor must present the Embarkation portion of the Disembarkation/Embarkation Card together with his travel document to the Immigration Officer.

Visitors are advised to check their passports/travel documents for exit endorsements before they leave the checkpoint.

Singapore Permanent Residents require a valid Re-Entry Permit (REP) whenever they wish to travel out of Singapore. Please refer to the Renewal for Re-Entry Permit page for more information.

Please remove your passport cover to facilitate immigration clearance.

Do not carry goods for other people. If the goods are or contain dutiable, controlled or prohibited items, you will be held responsible. Under the Singapore law, the penalty for the illegal importation of controlled drugs such as heroin or morphine is death.

Under the Singapore law, you are required to open, unpack and pack your baggage when the checkpoint officer wishes to conduct an examination of your baggage. This is to give you full control over the entire proceeding. You can determine the manner of the opening, unpacking and packing of your personal belongings. This would also prevent any unintentional damage to your baggage or belongings.
