Can I still use my Singapore visa after my passport expires?

There are many holders who apply for passports earlier, but the Singapore Embassy will grant visas that may be valid for 2 to 10 years because of the better conditions of the applicants. However, our passports are usually valid for only 10 years.

At this time, the holder may encounter the expiration of the passport, but the visa is still valid. Can the Singapore visa be used after the expiration of the passport?

When faced with this situation, some countries can allow the holder to leave the country with the old and new passports if the visa page on the old passport is not damaged. However, some countries can only transfer the valid visa page to the new passport by means of visa transfer. Singapore handles it in this way.

The Singapore Embassy in China stipulates that only holders of multiple visas valid for 2, 5 and 10 years in Singapore can apply for visa transfer.

Those who want to apply for Singapore visa transfer can only apply through the agency. Holders only need to submit the new and old passports, Singapore visa pages, ID cards, photos and application forms to the agency. Generally, they can complete the visa transfer in about 3 working days.

If the Singapore visa is about to expire and there are only 1.2 months left, we do not recommend that the applicant go to apply for a visa transfer again, but apply for a visa again, so there is no need to waste the time of visa transfer.

If the holder's old passport is lost or his personal information has changed, he cannot apply for a visa transfer and can only reapply for a visa.

Holders who have completed the Singapore visa transfer only need to bring their new passport and Singapore visa page when entering the country again, instead of carrying their old passport.

Finally, it is important to remind the holder that if the Singapore visa is not transferred, the holder must transfer the valid Singapore visa before it can be used after the passport expires, otherwise it will not be able to pass the customs.
