Short-Term Visit Pass Extension

Eligible visitors are issued a Short-Term Visit Pass (STVP), typically as an electronic visit pass (e-Pass), upon entry to Singapore as a tourist, for social visits, or medical treatment. Check your pass validity via the e-Pass enquiry portal.

You can apply to extend your ICA-issued STVP if it has 14 days or less remaining.

ICA assesses applications holistically based on your reasons for extending your stay and whether you have immediate family members who are Singapore Citizens (SCs) or Permanent Residents (PRs). The extension period granted is subject to ICA's assessment.

You will receive the application outcome at the email address you provided. Approved applications do not require a physical endorsement.

You will require a local sponsor to support your application for extension of stay if:

1. You have immediate family members (e.g. spouse, child, parent, or sibling) here who are SCs or PRs; or
2. You are a national of the countries or holder of the passports listed below.

Your local sponsor must be an SC or a PR who is at least 21 years old and has a Singpass account. Sponsors without an account, can register for Singpass online.

You will need the following to apply for an extension of stay:

• A scan of the personal particulars page of your valid travel document (e.g., passport)
• Disembarkation/Embarkation (D/E) number that can be found in your electronic visit pass (e-Pass) enquiry portal.

ICA may require you and your local sponsor (if applicable) to provide clarifications or upload the scanned copies of additional original documents during the online submission on a case-by-case basis. Examples include:

• For visitors with immediate family members who are SCs or PRs: Original supporting documents to establish your relationship
• For visitors seeking extension of stay for medical treatment:
  A completed FormV75(PDF, 69KB) duly endorsed by a registered doctor in Singapore, detailing the illness and required period of stay

Submit your STVP extension application online. ICA does not accept walk-in applications.

ICA processes the extension of Visit Pass within 5 working days (excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and public holidays).

Some applications may take longer to process.

If you have not received an outcome, you must depart Singapore on or before the expiry date of your existing STVP.
