Singapore Tourist Visa Fees for Indians (2026, in Rupees)

Those two charges are what most Indian travellers pay in 2026. The exact figure on your receipt depends on which Singapore mission covers your state and which agent files your application. The amounts below are as published on the official sources, checked on 15 October 2026. For the full application process, start with our Singapore visa guide for Indian passport holders.

How much is the Singapore tourist visa fee in rupees?

Singapore does not use VFS Global in India. You apply through an Authorised Visa Agent (AVA), who files the application online in ICA's e-Visa system. So you pay two separate charges: the government's visa processing fee and the agent's service fee. Walk-in applications are not accepted at the High Commission or either Consulate-General.

The Consulate-General in Mumbai applies the INR 2,100 fee with effect from 1 January 2026, paid at submission. The New Delhi High Commission's agent list updated as at 1 August 2026 shows a Rs 1,300 service fee at all its Indian agents. Its previous list, dated 1 July 2026, showed Rs 1,000.

Which Singapore mission's fee applies to your state?

The fee follows the mission that handles your state, so check jurisdiction before you choose an agent.

• Consulate-General of Singapore, Mumbai: Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Goa, Gujarat and Odisha.
• Consulate-General of Singapore, Chennai: Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Kerala, Lakshadweep, Puducherry, Tamil Nadu and Telangana. Its agents are in Chennai, Bengaluru and Hyderabad.
• High Commission of Singapore, New Delhi: Jammu and Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh, Punjab, Haryana, Delhi, Rajasthan, Uttarakhand, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Jharkhand, West Bengal, Assam, Sikkim, Manipur, Meghalaya, Tripura, Arunachal Pradesh, Nagaland and Mizoram. Its agents are in Delhi NCR, Kolkata, Lucknow, Jaipur, Ludhiana, Amritsar, Chandigarh and Ambala.

Ladakh, Chandigarh, the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, and Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu are not named in any mission's list. If you live there, ask the agent which mission will process your file before you pay anything.

Why does Chennai show a different amount?

The Chennai Consulate-General's visa page still lists a processing fee of 30 Singapore dollars, which the agent converts into rupees, and an agent fee of INR 1000. Its published agent list, dated 24 September 2024, shows Rs 650. The New Delhi and Mumbai pages carry the newer INR 2100 processing fee and the Rs 1300 agent fee.

The Chennai page may simply predate the change. Because the official pages disagree, ask your Chennai, Bengaluru or Hyderabad agent for the exact total in writing before you hand over your documents. Do not budget on the lower figure.

Can someone in Singapore apply for you instead?

Yes, if you have a local contact willing to file. A local sponsor with Singpass, or a strategic partner in Singapore, can submit your application online on your behalf in ICA's e-Service. ICA lists a visa processing fee of SGD 30 for this route. It is non-refundable and paid online by Visa or MasterCard. No Indian agent is involved, so no Indian agent fee applies.

ICA says applications filed this way are processed within three working days, excluding the day of submission, though some take longer. The route suits travellers visiting family or business partners who are willing to file for them. You still need a completed Form 14A, your passport details and a compliant photo.

When do you have to pay the visa fee again?

The processing fee is charged per application and is never refunded. You pay it again in these cases:

• After a rejection: a fresh application means a fresh fee. Alternatively, you can appeal within one month of the rejection through the agent that filed the application; the Chennai FAQ says appeals generally take 14 working days.
• After the visa expires or is used: visa validity cannot be amended or extended, and the visa type cannot be changed. You apply afresh through an agent.
• After you renew your passport: a visa cannot be moved from an old passport to a new one. A new application with the prevailing fee is needed.

One case does not need a new fee. If your travel date falls within the visa's validity, you can enter even if the visa expires before you return. ICA officers at the checkpoint decide your length of stay and email a digital visit pass.

Which costs sit outside the Singapore visa fee?

The official pages list only the processing fee and the agent fee for a social visit visa. Other spending depends on your file:

• Photographs: two colour photos, 35mm wide by 45mm high, plain white background, taken within the last three months (Mumbai asks for one).
• Translations: documents in Hindi must be translated into English.
• Travel insurance: the missions do not publish an insurance requirement for visit visas.
• Entry checks: at arrival, ICA officers can ask for sufficient funds and a confirmed onward or return air ticket, if applicable.

If you are only transiting, the 96-hour Visa Free Transit Facility carries no visa fee. It needs an onward ticket departing within 96 hours and a valid visa or long-term pass from Australia, Canada, Germany, Japan, New Zealand, Switzerland, the UK or the USA.

Before you pay: checks that protect your money

1. Confirm the mission for your state, then pick an agent from that mission's list.
2. Ask the agent to quote the processing fee and the service fee separately, so you can match them against the official figures.
3. Fill every column of Form 14A. Incomplete forms or documents can lead to rejection or delay, and the fee is not returned.
4. Apply about 30 days before arrival, as the Mumbai mission advises. Mission processing takes 3 to 5 working days, excluding the submission date, weekends and public holidays.
5. Check that your passport has at least six months' validity on the date of entry.

Frequently asked questions

Can I pay the Singapore visa fee online myself from India?

Not when you apply from India. The Authorised Visa Agent files your application in ICA's e-Visa system, and the Mumbai mission says the INR 2,100 fee is paid at submission. Online card payment of SGD 30 applies only when a local contact or strategic partner in Singapore submits for you.

Do children pay a lower Singapore visa fee?

The mission pages publish one fee per application, INR 2100 at New Delhi and Mumbai, and show no separate child rate. Each traveller's application attracts the processing fee and the agent's service fee.

Is there an extra charge for urgent Singapore visa processing?

The Mumbai Consulate-General states that there is no extra charge for urgent applications. Standard processing at the missions takes 3 to 5 working days, excluding the day of submission, weekends and public holidays, and some applications take longer.

Is the Singapore visa fee refunded if my application is rejected?

No. The processing fee is non-refundable. You can appeal within one month of the rejection through the agent that filed your application, but ICA does not disclose rejection reasons.
