Wanted to apply for Singapore Urgent visa. But their service was faster than urgent visa. Didn't need to apply for Urgent category.
Visited Singapore. No hassle at the airport. The VisaBanana team guided us of the documents we had to carry at immigration.
Lovely guys. Thank you for the Singapore Visa.
Felt fake at first. I thought my money is gone. But they called after 2 days and sent me the Singapore visa within 5 days.
Singapore Visa can be applied 30 days before? Should have not taken my application then. Anyway, they refunded the amount and asked me to apply once I am eligible.
Indian citizens need a valid tourist visa before travelling to Singapore.
Indians can apply for a Singapore visa through visa application centres authorised by Singapore Immigration and Checkpoint Authority. Since Singapore does not offer a visa-on-arrival to Indian citizens, it is necessary to plan the travel dates and apply in advance for the visa. The Singapore visa can only be applied 30 days prior to your scheduled arrival in Singapore, as per the regulations by Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Singapore.
The travel dates would depend on the visa validity period and the stay period, which are separately mentioned on the Singapore visa. The validity of the visa refers to the period within which one can enter the country, whereas, the stay period refers to the maximum number of days the traveller is allowed to stay in Singapore. Singapore allows the travellers to enter until one day prior to visa expiry, given they return without exceeding the stay period.
Where will my passport be submitted for processing? What is my passport jurisdiction?
The consulate jurisdiction of your passport depends on 2 factors - the address on the back of your passport and your current residential address.

At Visa Banana, we determine your consulate jurisdiction as soon as you apply for a Singapore visa.
