Singapore tightens visa rules for travelers

Singapore is introducing new stringent measures in the visa issuance process to improve security and transparency. Visa applicants are now required to undergo a verification call, which can be done via video call or regular phone call. They are required to provide a valid phone number and email address. In case of unsuccessful verification, visa applications will be automatically rejected.

In addition, the consulate requires applicants to provide details of traveling companions who are planning to travel to Singapore. Applicants must provide the full name of the traveling companion, their relationship to the applicant and their passport number. Incomplete or inaccurate data may result in visa denial, so travelers are strongly advised to fill out all required information carefully.

These measures are aimed at reducing the risk of fraudulent applications and ensuring that the authorities only allow entry to genuine travelers, which will certainly enhance the security of Singapore's visa system.
