Do Peruvian passport holders need a visa for Singapore?
By Arun Singh · Destinations Writer, Tripmojo · Updated · Reviewed by Simran Raheja
No. Peruvian citizens do not need a visa to visit Singapore. Peru is not on Singapore’s visa-required list, so a visit pass is issued at the checkpoint, with its length decided by the immigration officer. The free SG Arrival Card should be submitted online before you travel.

Entry requirements
- A Peruvian passport valid for at least six months from the date you arrive.
- An SG Arrival Card submitted online before travel, free of charge.
- Proof of onward or return travel, which is asked for more often on long multi-stop itineraries.
- An address in Singapore, and evidence of funds for the visit if asked.
What happens on arrival
Submit the SG Arrival Card online shortly before departure. It is free through the ICA.
Clear immigration at the checkpoint, where the visit pass and its duration are issued. The officer sets that period; it is not a fixed entitlement.
If you need longer, apply to the ICA for an extension from within Singapore before the pass expires.
Good to know
- There is no direct flight from Peru, and the routing is the part worth planning. Every itinerary from Lima goes through at least one other country, commonly in North America, Europe or the Gulf, and each of those has its own transit rules. Peruvians are visa-free for Singapore and not necessarily for the place they change planes in, and that is where trips on this route come apart.
- A United States layover is the specific one to check. If your routing touches a US airport, that is a US entry in law even when you never leave the terminal, and it requires the relevant US authorisation regardless of the fact that Singapore does not ask for anything.
- Because the journey is long and often multi-stop, airlines are more likely than usual to ask for onward travel at check-in. Have the return or continuing ticket to hand at the first departure, not just on the final leg.
Frequently asked questions
Do Peruvians need a visa for Singapore?
No. Peru is not on Singapore’s visa-required list, so a visit pass is issued on arrival rather than a visa being needed in advance.
How long can Peruvians stay in Singapore?
For the period of the visit pass granted at the checkpoint. Singapore sets it there rather than fixing it by nationality in advance.
Do Peruvians need a transit visa on the way to Singapore?
Possibly, depending on the route. There are no direct flights from Peru, so check the rules of every country you pass through, particularly if the itinerary touches the United States.
Is the SG Arrival Card free for Peruvian travellers?
Yes. It is free through the ICA, and any site charging to file it is selling an unnecessary service.
Will the airline ask for a return ticket?
Often, yes. Proof of onward or return travel is a normal request on long multi-stop routings, so carry it from the first flight.
