Visa & Entry

Singapore is part of the US Visa Waiver Program. Singaporean passport holders can enter the United States for up to 90 days without a visa, but must obtain an approved ESTA (Electronic System for Travel Authorization) before boarding. Apply at the official CBP site. ESTA costs USD 21, is valid for 2 years, and covers multiple entries. Passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond the planned stay. The 90-day limit cannot be extended, and overstaying voids future ESTA eligibility.

Terminal 4 is served by a dedicated shuttle bus from T2.Taxis from Orchard Road cost S$20–35 and take 20–30 minutes. Grab is widely used and slightly cheaper. Airport surcharges apply for taxis departing from the city to the airport (S$3–5 depending on peak hours). The trip is short; Singapore's island geography keeps distances manageable.
