Which Singapore Consulate Covers Your State? India Jurisdiction

Singapore does not use VFS Global in India. Your application is filed online in the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA) e-Visa system by an Authorised Visa Agent (AVA) appointed by the mission for your area, so knowing your mission tells you which agents, fees and advice apply to you. The lists below are as published on the official sources, checked on 15 October 2026. For the complete application process, see our Singapore visa guide for Indians.

Which Singapore mission covers your state?

Only the Mumbai visa page ties visa applications directly to its states; it handles applications from Indian nationals and foreign residents of those six states. The New Delhi and Chennai lists come from each mission's own page describing the states it serves.

Which states are easy to get wrong?

• Odisha is with Mumbai, not with New Delhi or Chennai, even though neighbouring West Bengal and Jharkhand are with New Delhi.
• Telangana and Andhra Pradesh are with Chennai, and Hyderabad is one of Chennai's AVA cities.
• Kerala and Lakshadweep are with Chennai, though Chennai's AVA list names agents only in Chennai, Bengaluru and Hyderabad.
• Bihar, Jharkhand, West Bengal and the north-eastern states are all with New Delhi; Kolkata is one of New Delhi's AVA cities.
• Chhattisgarh and Madhya Pradesh are with Mumbai.

What if your state or UT is not on any list?

Four places are not named by any of the three missions: Ladakh, Chandigarh, Andaman and Nicobar Islands, and Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu. Chandigarh does appear as an AVA city on the New Delhi list, but that is a location of agents, not a published jurisdiction rule. If you live in one of these areas, ask an AVA or the nearest mission which office will handle your file before you apply. Do not guess and risk a delay.

Do you ever deal with the mission directly?

No. The High Commission in New Delhi and the Consulates-General in Mumbai and Chennai do not accept walk-in visa applications. You hand your documents to an AVA, who files online with ICA. The basic set is Form 14A signed by you, a passport valid for at least six months on the date of entry, recent colour photographs and, where needed, a Letter of Introduction (Form V39A) from a local contact in Singapore. Applications under the Chennai Consulate-General need every column and blank space on Form 14A completed and a photocopy of both the passport's biodata page and last page. Documents in Hindi must be translated into English.

There is one alternative to an AVA: a local contact or strategic partner in Singapore can submit the application online on your behalf, paying SGD 30 by Visa or MasterCard.

Does the mission change your fees or timing?

Fees differ slightly by page, as the table shows. The New Delhi AVA list updated as at 01 August 2026 shows Rs 1300 at all its Indian agents, up from Rs 1000 a month earlier, while Chennai's AVA list dated 24 September 2024 still shows Rs 650. Ask your agent for the current total before you hand over documents.

Processing is 3 to 5 working days, excluding the date of submission, weekends and public holidays, and some applications take longer. Mumbai advises applying within 30 days before arrival. Chennai suggests at least one week ahead in normal periods and two to four weeks ahead during the March to May peak.

Not applying for a visit visa, or living abroad?

• Work passes are not handled by the missions; the employer applies to Singapore's Ministry of Manpower.
• Student's Pass applications are made online with ICA.
• Indians living outside India apply through the nearest Singapore Overseas Mission or its authorised agent, or online through a local contact in Singapore.

Before you hand your file to an agent

• Confirm the agent appears on your mission's AVA list, such as the High Commission's Authorised Visa Agents page.
• Get the visa application reference number (for example DEL...SA...) so you can check status and print the e-Visa on ICA's website.
• If refused, an appeal goes through the same AVA within one month of the rejection and generally takes 14 working days (Chennai FAQ). ICA does not disclose rejection reasons.

Frequently asked questions

Can I apply for a Singapore visa in Delhi if I live in Mumbai?

Mumbai's visa page says it handles applications from residents of Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Goa, Gujarat and Odisha. A resident of those states should file through an agent working with the Mumbai Consulate-General; if in doubt, ask the agent before filing.

Is there a VFS centre for Singapore visas in India?

No. Singapore does not use VFS Global in India. Applications go through the missions' Authorised Visa Agents, who file them online in ICA's e-Visa system, or through a local contact or strategic partner in Singapore.

Does the Singapore High Commission in New Delhi also cover Nepal and Bhutan?

Yes. The High Commission lists Nepal and Bhutan alongside the Indian states it serves.

How do I check my Singapore visa status?

Use the status enquiry on ICA's website with your visa application reference number and travel document number. If you do not have the reference number, ask the Authorised Visa Agent that filed your application.
