With Singapore and many countries opening up their borders gradually, following the shift from a global pandemic to an endemic stage, many Singaporeans are now renewing or applying for their passports to get ready for international travel. Since Covid-19 caused a global reset to the world and almost totally decimated air travel in 2019, business and leisure travel are gradually coming back globally and this is the same in Singapore.
If you are getting ready to travel again, are you clear on which countries you can visit without visa and with online visa for Singapore passport holders?
Other than vaccination requirements and covid control measures, don’t forget that you will still require visa to visit some countries. Some of these visas can be applied online.
Although the Singapore passport is regularly ranked as one of the most powerful passports in the world, there are still a few countries which require visas to travel to. In fact, in 2022, Singapore topped the world’s most powerful passports list, according to the Henley Passport Index. Similar to last year, it comes in first place alongside Japan. Singaporeans can travel to 192 countries visa-free.
In addition to having visa-free access to all ASEAN nations, the Singaporean passport is one of the four passports (the others being those of Brunei, Japan, and San Marino) with visa-free entry to the world’s four largest economies:

The fact that there are so many countries they can visit without a visa (or just with an easy online visa) makes travel planning so much more convenient. No embassy visits, no complicated paperwork—just book a flight and go.
I love how the article breaks it all down, especially the difference between visa-free and e-visa destinations. A lot of people assume “visa-free” means the same thing as “easy to enter,” but having an e-visa option still makes a huge difference compared to countries where you need to apply weeks in advance. It’s also great that places like Europe, Japan, and the U.K. are visa-free—those are some of the top destinations for Singaporean travelers.
That said, I was kind of surprised to see that some countries still require a visa despite Singapore’s strong passport. It just goes to show that even with visa-free access to so many places, it’s always good to double-check the latest requirements before booking a trip. Rules can change, and the last thing anyone wants is to show up at the airport and be denied entry.
