Singapore Immigration looks at Singapore Immigration Life: Starting from June 1, eligible Chinese citizens can obtain a multiple-entry visa to Singapore with a validity of up to 10 years. Moreover, the spouses or children under 21 of qualified applicants will also receive the same benefits.
Industry analysts believe that Singapore's move primarily targets Chinese business and leisure travelers, which not only benefits bilateral trade between China and Singapore but also optimizes the structure of foreign tourists visiting Singapore, guiding Chinese tourists with consumption purposes to explore in-depth travel in Singapore. This may intensify competition between Singapore and countries like South Korea and Japan for the Chinese tourist market.
Previously, the cost for Chinese citizens to apply for a personal visa to Singapore was approximately 350 yuan, with a multiple-entry visa valid for 35 days or 2 years, and the maximum stay duration was 14 days. After the implementation of the new policy on June 1, the application fee and process remain unchanged, and applicants do not need to specifically request the 10-year valid visa; eligible applicants will automatically receive a multiple-entry visa valid for 10 years. Eligible applicants are those who have previously visited Singapore and whose visa applications have been supported by the relevant Singaporean authorities.
