Overview: The Singapore Transit Visa primarily refers to the Visa Free Transit Facility (VFTF), allowing eligible nationalities to transit visa-free for up to 96 hours under specific conditions. For those not qualifying for VFTF but wishing to clear immigration, a standard short-term entry visa is required.
Eligibility: VFTF requires specific nationalities, a valid onward flight ticket to a third country, and meeting other entry conditions. For others, standard short-term visit pass criteria apply (valid passport, onward journey, sufficient funds).
