Tourist Visa to Singapore through the Czech Republic: a complete guide for applicants

Obtaining a tourist visa to Singapore through the Czech Republic is becoming an increasingly popular option among foreigners who live or temporarily stay in Europe. This option is ideal for Ukrainians, Belarusians, Kazakhs, Uzbeks, Georgians, Moldovans, and citizens of other nationalities who entered the Czech Republic legally and can confirm their status.

For what purposes is a tourist visa to Singapore intended?

A tourist visa allows legal entry into Singapore for the purpose of short-term stay in the country, namely:

• classic tourism and sightseeing;

• visiting friends or distant relatives;

• participation in short-term events not related to employment (festivals, exhibitions, conferences);

• transit with the possibility of staying in the country.

At the same time, it is important to remember that a tourist visa does not grant the right to employment or study in Singapore. Any intentions beyond the scope of tourism require other types of permits.
