| Topic | Details |
|---|---|
| Channels | Authorised Visa Agent (AVA) submission to ICA via SAVE; or Local Contact in Singapore (citizen/PR/company) |
| Short-stay | Tourism, Visiting Family/Friends, Business meetings, Medical (short) |
| Long-stay | Student's Pass (SOLAR+/IPA), Work Passes (employer applies to MOM) |
| Appointment | No public appointment with ICA; apply via AVA/Local Contact |
| Passport | Valid ≥6 months from entry; undamaged; with spare pages |
| Funds | Show sufficient, traceable funds; airlines may check onward ticket |
| Insurance | Recommended (medical/emergency); some schools/programs require it |
| Tracking | AVA provides status; e-Visa retrieval/verification via ICA e-services link/QR on the e-Visa |
| Transit | Airside transit typically visa-free; to clear immigration you need a visa (no VFTF for Bangladeshi) |
"Singapore visa in Bangladesh / Singapore visa centre in Bangladesh" refers to the AVA network serving applicants. The Singapore High Commission does not accept individual walk-ins for visa filing.
Keep dates consistent across cover letter, flights, hotel bookings, leave letter, and bank flows. Singapore is strict about documentary coherence.
Some AVAs can arrange LOI through Singapore partners when you don't have a local contact. Ask your AVA about LOI options and eligibility.
| Fee Type | Amount | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Government visa fee | S$30 | Non-refundable; paid via AVA/Local Contact |
| AVA service fee | BDT (varies) | Agent handling, scanning, portal work |
| Third-party costs | Variable | Insurance, photos, printing, translations/legalizations (if requested) |
Singapore visa fee for Bangladeshi totals vary by agent and exchange rate; always confirm the day's payable amount before submission.
| Stage | Typical Timeline |
|---|---|
| ICA decision | ~3 working days (excluding day of submission) |
| With AVA handling | 3-7 working days typical; longer in peaks/extra checks |
| Best practice | Apply 2-3 weeks before travel; avoid last-minute filing |
Singapore visa processing from Bangladesh is sensitive to peak seasons and public holidays in SG/BD.
| Specification | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Size | 35 mm × 45 mm |
| Background | Plain white, shadow-free |
| Face | 25-35 mm chin-to-crown; centered; neutral expression |
| Glasses/Headwear | No glasses; religious headwear allowed if face fully visible |
| Recency | Within 3 months; high resolution; no filters/retouching |
ICA is strict about photo specifications. Wrong size, background, or face proportions will cause rejection. Follow 35×45 mm and 25-35 mm face-size rules exactly.
Submit the SG Arrival Card (SGAC) at eservices.ica.gov.sg/sgarrivalcard within 3 days before your flight. It's free and mandatory — separate from your visa.
We help map your sequence (admission → SOLAR+ → IPA → travel) and required documents. Timeline: Commonly 2-6+ weeks depending on school/category; apply early. Final decisions rest with ICA.
Bangladeshi nationals are NOT eligible for Visa Free Transit Facility (VFTF). If you need to clear immigration at Changi, you must have a valid visa.
| Mistake | Why It's a Problem | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Non-refundable tickets before approval | Money lost if visa rejected | Use reservations/holds until visa approved |
| Wrong photo spec | ICA is strict; causes rejection | Follow 35×45 mm and face-size rules exactly |
| Inconsistent docs | Dates mismatch raises red flags | Align dates in form, bookings, leave letters, bank trails |
| Missing LOI for business | Business visa requires LOI | Ensure valid LOI from Singapore entity/local contact |
| Late SGAC | Entry can be denied | File SG Arrival Card within 3 days pre-arrival |
