Required Information
Currency
Singapore uses the Singapore dollar (SGD), with the symbol S$ or the currency code SGD. As one of the leading global financial centers, the Singapore dollar is highly traded, particularly in Asia. The currency is issued and regulated by the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS). The symbol is typically placed before the amount (S$10), and it has replaced the Malaya and British Borneo dollar (M$) since 1967, offering a stable and trusted medium for both local and international transactions.
Air Travel
Singapore Changi Airport (IATA: SIN, ICAO: WSSS) is located about 20 kilometers east of downtown Singapore. Known for its world-class facilities and customer service, Changi is frequently ranked as one of the best airports globally. It serves as a major hub for international flights, and with its vast selection of amenities, it makes long layovers or delays much more enjoyable.
Train and Subway
Singapore’s rail system is centered around the Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) network, a modern, efficient, and affordable mode of transportation. The network connects various parts of the city-state, including the airport, shopping districts, and residential areas. The MRT system consists of four major lines: East West Line (EWL), North South Line (NSL), North East Line (NEL), and Circle Line (CCL), offering easy access to almost every part of Singapore.
Public Transport
Singapore's public transport system is renowned for its efficiency and cleanliness. The MRT is complemented by an extensive bus network, with buses operating on both regular and express routes. All public transport is seamlessly integrated, allowing for convenient transfers between buses and trains with the same stored-value card, such as the EZ-Link card or the Singapore Tourist Pass. Additionally, NETS, Mastercard, and Visa bank cards with the EMVCo Contactless Indicator, including foreign-issued cards, are accepted in public transit.
Alternative Transport
While public transport is the most convenient option for getting around Singapore, there are also alternatives like taxis, private hire vehicles (e.g., Grab), and bicycles. Singapore is a bicycle-friendly city, with dedicated bike lanes and paths in many areas. Taxis can be hailed on the street or booked via apps, and with private hire services, you can easily get around the city in a comfortable and timely manner.
Traveling with Medication
When traveling to Singapore, it’s important to be aware of the country’s strict regulations regarding the importation of medication. Some common over-the-counter drugs might require a prescription or approval from the Health Sciences Authority (HSA). Be sure to carry your medications in their original packaging and bring along a doctor's prescription, particularly for controlled substances. It's advisable to check the guidelines ahead of your trip to ensure your medication is allowed into the country.
Visa and Entry
Singapore offers visa-free entry for citizens of many countries, including the U.S., for tourism or business stays of up to 90 days. Visitors must have a passport valid for at least six months beyond their intended stay. While a visa isn’t required for short visits, travelers should be aware that immigration officers may request additional documentation or evidence of onward travel, depending on the circumstances.
Power Outlets
Singapore uses power plugs of type G. This type has three rectangular pins in a triangular pattern, and it operates on a 230V supply voltage and a 50Hz frequency. If you’re visiting from a country that uses a different plug type, you may need an adapter to ensure your devices are compatible with the local outlets. The voltage is the same as that in the UK, so British travelers will find their appliances work perfectly without issues.
