Filling out the Singapore Arrival Card is straightforward once you know the steps. This step-by-step guide walks you through the entire submission process, from accessing the form to receiving your confirmation email.
Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1: Access the Official Platform
Choose one of two official methods:
- Web browser: Visit the ICA SGAC e-Service page
- Mobile app: Download the MyICA Mobile app from the App Store or Google Play
Step 2: Select Your Category
When you start, you will see two options:
| Category | Who Selects This | What You Submit |
|---|---|---|
| Residents | Singapore Citizens, PRs, Long-Term Pass holders | Health declaration only |
| Foreign Visitors | All other travellers, IPA letter holders | Arrival information + health declaration |
Step 3: Enter Personal Details
Fill in the following fields accurately:
- Full name (as it appears on your passport)

- Date of birth
- Gender
- Email address and phone number
Step 4: Provide Travel Information
Enter your trip details:
- Arrival date in Singapore
- Flight number or vessel name

Step 5: Enter Accommodation Details
Provide the address where you will be staying in Singapore. This can be a hotel, serviced apartment, or residential address. Include the full address with postal code.
Step 6: Complete the Health Declaration
