Singapore, India working to upgrade ties to comprehensive strategic partnership

SINGAPORE – India and Singapore have strengthened ties and agreed to elevate their relationship to a comprehensive strategic partnership during Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s official visit to Singapore.

The intent to upgrade ties from the existing strategic partnership was announced in a Facebook post by Prime Minister Lawrence Wong on Sept 5.

“Singapore and India share a deep and enduring friendship built on strong economic and people-to-people ties,” said PM Wong, adding that the move is a timely one.

The countries will be marking 60 years of diplomatic relations and the 10th anniversary of the bilateral strategic partnership in 2025.

A comprehensive strategic partnership will deepen existing areas of cooperation and enable new ones. Australia is the only country with which Singapore has such a partnership. The Republic is also exploring the possibility of ones with Vietnam and France.

Signalling a greater cooperation in various sectors, India and Singapore exchanged agreements earlier in the day to help firms here tap India’s growing semiconductor industry and tighten digital links between the two countries.

They will also step up cooperation in areas such as skills development and healthcare.

Four memorandums of understanding (MOUs) were exchanged at Parliament House, witnessed by both prime ministers.

These were first signed by Singapore and India ministers on the sidelines of the second edition of the India-Singapore Ministerial Roundtable (ISMR) , which was held at Shangri-La Singapore on Aug 26.

Mr Modi, who is in Singapore for two days from Sept 4, earlier received a ceremonial welcome by PM Wong at Parliament House.

Semiconductors

India aims to grow its semiconductor industry and become a global node for semiconductor manufacturing, while players in Singapore’s established ecosystem are looking to enter emerging markets.

The MOU in this area will see both countries support India’s growth plans and facilitate the entry of Singapore companies and supply chains in the Indian market.

It was signed between Singapore’s Ministry of Trade and Industry and India’s Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology.

The partnership includes government-led policy exchanges on ecosystem development, supply chain resilience and workforce development.

Semiconductors and advanced manufacturing were identified as new areas for bilateral collaboration at the second ISMR dialogue between ministers.

Singapore and India share a deep and enduring friendship, built on strong economic and people-to-people ties. Had a productive meeting with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi at Parliament House today. We have set out a forward-looking agenda for the next phase of our bilateral relations. This includes closer cooperation in areas like sustainability, advanced manufacturing, digital technologies and connectivity. We are also upgrading the Singapore-India Strategic Partnership to a Comprehensive Strategic Partnership. This is a timely move as we expand our partnership in new and mutually beneficial areas, and celebrate 60 years of diplomatic relations and the 10th anniversary of our Strategic Partnership next year. We look forward to strengthening our ties and creating new opportunities for our peoples. Posted by Lawrence Wong on Wednesday, September 4, 2024

Digital technologies

To encourage greater interoperability between Singapore and India’s digital economies, an agreement was inked for digital technologies.

The deal includes the exchange of knowledge and expertise on digital public infrastructure such as digital IDs, payments and data exchange.

The MOU was signed between Singapore’s Ministry of Digital Development and Information and India’s Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology.

This builds on existing cooperation efforts such as the real-time payment systems linkage between Singapore’s PayNow and India’s Unified Payments Interface launched in February 2023.

The link allows bank customers in Singapore and India to send and receive funds via their bank accounts and e-wallets instantly across the two countries.

Singapore and India banks and companies also pioneered a fully paperless transaction process involving traders, shippers and banks in August 2023. It showcased the digitalisation of cross-border trade financing documentation using the TradeTrust framework.

Both countries are working to update and renew a 2015 agreement on cyber-security cooperation between the Singapore Cyber Emergency Response Team and India’s Computer Emergency Response Team.

Cooperation in education, healthcare

Technical education, alongside training and skills development, was among the areas of collaboration agreed upon between Singapore’s Ministry of Education and India’s Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship.

The higher education institutes of both countries will cooperate in areas such as reskilling and upskilling of workforces, student and staff exchanges, and the training of teachers. They will also include student internships and faculty industrial attachments.

On the medical front, an MOU was signed between Singapore’s Ministry of Health and India’s Ministry of Health and Family Welfare.

The two countries will strengthen cooperation in healthcare, medical education, research, and human resources development, including in areas such as disease surveillance, maternal and child health, prevention of communicable and non-communicable diseases, and pandemic preparedness.

The four MOUs were exchanged between India’s Minister of External Affairs S. Jaishankar and Singapore’s Foreign Minister Vivian Balakrishnan.

India as a ‘leading centre of growth’

Both prime ministers met on Sept 5 to discuss India’s potential as a leading centre of growth over the next decade, driven by both social and digital investments across its population, as well as its new economic linkages, Singapore’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) said in a statement.

Areas of potential collaboration include cross-border electricity trade and green ammonia supply chains, enhancing cross-border data flows via the finance hub of Gujarat International Finance Tec-City or Gift City, and cooperation in developing industrial parks in India.

Both countries are also looking into an agreement on the bilateral trade of carbon credits.

MFA added that Mr Modi had thanked PM Wong for extending support for India’s candidature as a non-permanent member of the United Nations Security Council for the 2028–2029 term, along with reaffirming Singapore’s continuing support for the country as a permanent member of the reformed council.

During opening remarks at his meeting with PM Wong, Mr Modi revealed that the first Thiruvalluvar Cultural Centre will open in Singapore.

Named after a Tamil poet and philosopher, such centres, first announced by Mr Modi in April, are a way to “enhance the global reputation of the Tamil language”, according to Indian media reports.

As part of his official visit, Mr Modi called on President Tharman Shanmugaratnam and met Senior Minister Lee Hsien Loong and Emeritus Senior Minister Goh Chok Tong. He was hosted to lunch by SM Lee.

He toured the facilities of semiconductor and electronics Singapore-based company AEM with PM Wong, where they were briefed about the company’s role in the global semiconductor value chain, its operations and opportunities for collaborations with India, India’s Ministry of External Affairs said in a statement.

He then met students from Singapore who did internships in India as part of the India Ready Talent Programme, which offers university and polytechnic students overseas internship opportunities in Indian and Singapore companies in India.

Mr Modi met interns from India’s technical skills institute World Skill Centre, which is in the city of Odisha, who are working in companies here.

He also attended a business roundtable at Shangri-La hosted by the Singapore Business Federation and attended by Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Trade and Industry Gan Kim Yong, where he interacted with chief executives of leading Singaporean companies.

Encouraging more Singaporeans to get to know India, Mr Tharman said in a Facebook post later on Sept 5 that Singapore-India relations are revving up, “and both countries will be better for it”.

He noted India’s dramatic story of human development, having uplifted hundreds of millions of people over the last decade through everything from better maternal and child health, access to electricity, water and sanitation, and gaining digital identities via which they conduct banking activities – sans middlemen.

“A dramatic story of human development, with more to come,” Mr Tharman wrote.

Singapore Tourism Board to hold multi-city B2B roadshow in India in July

Singapore Tourism Board (STB) is set to organise a multi-city B2B roadshow in Chennai, Hyderabad, Kolkata, and Ahmedabad this July. Titled ‘Singapore Tourism Board Roadshow 2024. Holidays Made in Singapore’, the event features 50 exhibitors representing hotels, attractions, airlines, cruise lines and destination management companies. Notably, seven of these exhibitors are participating for the first time, including the city’s famed family-friendly attraction Museum of Ice Cream, and Disney Cruise Line, which has made Singapore its exclusive Southeast Asian homeport for five years starting next year.

India is a major tourism source market for Singapore, with direct flights from 17 cities within a 4 to 6-hour range. Since the resumption of international travel in 2022, Indian tourists have been drawn to Singapore’s evolving range of offerings. In 2023, many new hotels, attractions, and lifestyle experiences have emerged, offering more activities and venues for India’s travel agents and planners to consider when crafting holiday itineraries, MICE programmes, and wedding celebrations. STB’s global campaign, “Made In Singapore”, showcases the city as a destination of unique and unexpected experiences. In line with this, the 2024 multi-city roadshow is themed “Holidays. Made in Singapore” to equip the Indian travel trade community to promote Singapore as a differentiated destination for various consumer segments.

As part of the B2B roadshow, STB is also hosting two curated business matching platforms between Singapore wedding suppliers and Indian planners in Ahmedabad and Kolkata, important source markets for Indian wedding celebrations. Featuring eight venues, hotels, aviation and cruise partners, and DMCs, these networking events build on STB’s continuing efforts in India to spotlight Singapore’s unique selection of wedding venues and experiences, including a partnership with celebrated couturier Rahul Mishra, and the curation of a Wedding Planner’s Guide to Singapore.

Markus Tan, Regional Director, India, Middle East, South Asia and Africa, Singapore Tourism Board expressed enthusiasm about the upcoming multi-city roadshows and emphasised the importance of collaboration with the travel trade in enhancing Singapore’s appeal in these regions. He said, “From January to May 2024, Singapore has welcomed more than half a million visitors from India. This underscores India’s importance as a key tourism source market for us. We are hopeful that together with our travel stakeholders, we can maintain this growth momentum through the second half of 2024. We are excited to embark on this multi-city B2B roadshow to strengthen our connections with the Indian travel trade community from 4 key cities with direct flights to Singapore. We hope the roadshow will foster stronger business relationships and partnerships, driving mutual growth and success for all participants and attendees.”

Corporate Identity

The Board's new name and corporate identity were officially unveiled by then-Second Minister for Trade and Industry BG (NS) George Yeo on 19 November 1997 to reflect the Board expanding its role beyond that of simply promoting tourism.

The new identity of the Singapore Tourism Board is encased in a shape that is derived from an architectural detail found in Singapore's Peranakan shophouses. This, together with the 'Singapore' logotype in calligraphic script, reflects the modern, multi-cultural yet distinctly Asian nature of our island republic and its people.

The rich green colour of the identity is corporate and distinctive. It also signifies the tropical Garden City that is home to STB, and continued growth of Singapore’s tourism sector.

First-ever Thiruvalluvar Cultural Centre Invest India office to be set up in Singapore

Singapore, Sep 5 (PTI) Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday announced that India's first-ever Thiruvalluvar centre in the world will be set up in Singapore to enhance cultural ties between the two countries and an Invest India office will also be established in the city-state to boost trade and investment. Modi, who is here on a two-day visit, Thursday held a productive meeting with his Singapore counterpart Lawrence Wong during which they elevated the bilateral ties to a comprehensive strategic partnership, the Ministry of External Affairs said. In a special gesture, Premier Wong hosted a private dinner for the Prime Minister on Wednesday, Secretary (East), the Ministry of External Affairs, Jaideep Mazumdar, said at a media briefing here. "Today, Prime Minister Modi was accorded a ceremonial welcome at Parliament House followed by official talks. And, they (the two leaders) discussed cooperation in a wide range of subjects, including trade and investment, defence and security, fintech and digital economy, green corridors and sustainability, food security, advanced manufacturing including semiconductors, connectivity, health and resilient supply chains," Mazumdar said. Four MoUs on cooperation in semiconductors, digital technologies, skill development and education and healthcare were exchanged between the two sides. "It is fair to say that with this India and Singapore relations have been made future-ready. And, accordingly, both PMs decided to elevate the relationship to a comprehensive strategic partnership," Mazumdar said. Modi is visiting Singapore after a "very successful" visit to Brunei. This is his fifth visit as prime minister, all prior visits were made in his first term as prime minister. In his opening remarks, Modi said Singapore is not only a partner nation but it is an inspiration for every developing country. "The next stage in our bilateral relation has been set by the India-Singapore Ministerial Roundtable that met recently and identified six pillars of our futuristic cooperation, and the four MoUs address four of those pillars," Mazumdar added. At the press interaction, the Secretary (East) said that to boost trade and investment, Prime Minister Modi also announced the setting up of an Invest India office in Singapore, which will be a handholding office for investors in Singapore in various areas identified in the six pillars. Both leaders also exchanged views on regional and global issues including India's Act East policy and the centrality of ASEAN in this policy, he said. Prime Minister Modi also announced that the first-ever Thiruvalluvur Cultural Centre in the world will be set up in Singapore, the official said. Thiruvalluvar was a noted Tamil poet and philosopher. In response to a question on the timeline of this cultural centre, he said, "I don't have a timeline, but I can tell you the government is very keen to do it at the earliest." Modi earlier said, "I am delighted to inform you that India’s first Thiruvalluvar Cultural Centre will soon be inaugurated in Singapore. The great saint Thiruvalluvar provided guiding thoughts to the world in the most ancient language Tamil. His work, the Thirukkural, was composed nearly 2,000 years ago, yet its ideas remain relevant even today." Quoting Thiruvalluvar's words: "Nayanodu Nanri Purind Payanudaiyar Panbu Paratattum Ulagu (The world admires those who are known for their sense of justice and service to others), the prime minister said he is confident that millions of Indians living in Singapore are also inspired by these ideas and are contributing to strengthening the relations between the two countries. Modi invited Wong to visit India, which he accepted. Prime Minister Modi accompanied by Wong on Thursday also visited a leading Singaporean company in the semiconductor and electronics sector and discussed ways for collaboration in this critical industry. At the facility, a group of interns from both countries had undergone skill training as part of bilateral programmes. The Indian interns were from the World Skill Centre in Odisha, and Singaporean students received skilling in India under the India Ready programme, Mazumdar said. "In terms of people-to-people contacts, in discussion over the two days, the two sides have discussed increasing flight connectivity between the two countries," he said. The Prime Minister also invited CEOs here to the SEMICIONB India exhibition and conference which is being held in India from September 11-13. "Across this entire spectrum of semi-conductor ecosystem, we find great convergences with Singapore. And, you will see rapid growth in our joint efforts in this direction," the Secretary added. India and Singapore have multi-dimensional relationship, multi-dimensional partnership, very strong relationship in the defence sector and the two sides conduct joint exercises, the MEA said. "We would like to cooperate further in maritime domain awareness," he said. The discussion between the leadership in Singapore and the Indian Prime Minister "focussed on how India and ASEAN, with Singapore as one of our most important partners in ASEAN, can play (a role) in making this an Asian century". When asked whether China's growing assertiveness in the South China Sea was discussed during the bilateral talks, he said, "Peace, stability and open commerce are important things for both India and Singapore, so these subjects do come in discussion in between our leaders." Asked if Andhra Pradesh's Amaravati capital issue was discussed, he said, "I don't believe it was discussed, didn't come up."

My holidays were not good...they were the BEST ! Thanks to the Team of Thomas Cook

We, a group of six girls contacted Thomas Cook for a luxury trip of Singapore keeping our privacy and safety in mind. Their team valued our requests and provided an amazing property at Little India. Our trip included a morning cycle rikshaw tour of Arab Street. We were provided our own minibus with a very experienced driver Mr. Venkat for the city tour of Singapore.

India to Singapore

Singapore may be small in size, but this country has enough to keep you amazed for months! One of the top tourist destinations in Asia, Singapore is bursting with shopping arenas, theme parks, futuristic gardens, ritzy resorts, eclectic restaurants and heritage sites. When flying from India to Singapore , prepare to land in a wonderland of sorts.

Indians’ Love for Singapore

About 7.5 percent of Singapore’s population is of Indian ethnicity. Also, Tamil (the language commonly spoken in the south Indian state of Tamil Nadu) is one of the 4 official languages of this island country. Heritage aside, Indians have a preference for Singapore when it comes to higher education and jobs. The strong economy and high-quality of life attracts a lot of Indian expats looking to grow in their career.

Even in terms of tourism, Singapore figures on most Indians’ top list of places to travel abroad, especially theirs who have never stepped outside of India. This is mainly because of relative affordability (as compared to other developed countries in the west), short flight duration and reasonable airfare. The abundance of skyscrapers, malls, touristy places, well-connected public transport system, nature parks and activities sure add to the charm of visiting Singapore!

Where is Singapore?

The Republic of Singapore is a city-state that is part of Southeast Asia. This island nation is located off the Malay Peninsula. The Singaporean territory consists of Mainland Singapore, apart from 63 satellite islands or islets and an outlying islet.

Only 3 of these islands are inhabited while 4 are reserved for the Army. Singapore is home to 10 artificial islands that have been reclaimed from the sea. Spread over 728.3 square kilometres, this Asian country lies just 1 degree north of the equator, putting it in the northern hemisphere.

Singapore’s weather is mostly humid, with a dry season from February to April – making it a great time for a vacation. Singapore follows the Singapore Time (SGT) or Singapore Standard Time (SST) which is UTC+8.

India to Singapore Map

Singapore is located to the southeast of India, taking a minimum of 4 hours and 25 minutes to reach. While the Indian Ocean makes it possible to sail from India to Singapore in 4 days, a road trip will mean 52 hours of non-stop driving at the very least.

India to Singapore Distance

The shortest road distance from India to Singapore is 3,536 km while the aerial distance between these two Asian countries is 3,170 km approximately. If one thinks of reaching Singapore via sea, the Port of Singapore is about 1,891 nautical miles away from the Port of Chennai.

Which is Closer to India? Singapore or Malaysia?

Singapore and Malaysia are neighbouring countries, both located in the Indian Ocean. The shortest distance from India to Singapore is almost similar to that from India to Malaysia , a little over 3,000 km. Even the shortest non-stop flights between India and Singapore and India and Malaysia take about 4 hours, placing both the nations neck to neck in competition.

However, one must remember that Singapore is lower than Peninsular Malaysia. If taking the road from India, one will reach Malaysia much before Singapore, making the former much closer to India than the latter. Malaysia is a larger Asian nation, and more diverse in terms of relief features, ethnicities and demography.

Singapore, on the other hand, flaunts a fast-paced lifestyle fuelled by an active start-up scene, an abundance of corporate clout and a thriving community of international students. While this country is mostly a city, there are a wide range of activities to be enjoyed here.

What to Do and What Not To

Follow these tips to have a smooth time in Singapore:

Eating or littering is prohibited on most sidewalks and public transport. Disobeying these rules can attract huge fines and punishment in the form of community service or jail term.
Remember to stand in a queue on the left when riding an escalator. The right of way is given to those in a hurry.

Fortunately, Singapore does not have a dress code, and visitors are free to wear whatever they are comfortable in. One must keep in mind the hot and humid climate of this island country though. Light, breathable fabrics and flip flops are great for sightseeing. However, it’s nice to have something stylish if you’re going to a fine-dining restaurant.

What to Carry

Singapore’ weather warrants lots of sunscreen, a pair of shades and an umbrella or a raincoat for those unseasonal showers. If you have Singapore walking tours on your itinerary, wear comfy shoes and carry a backpack with water to keep you hydrated.

Singapore tour packages from India that cater to families with children offer much for the little ones, at the same time, putting the parents’ worries to rest. Some pointers for travelling with kids:

Whether it’s Singapore resorts or public restrooms, this nation is very safe for children and convenient for parents. In fact, Singapore Airport has diaper changing stations in both the male and female restrooms!
There are plenty of free attractions for toddlers such as the Singapore cable car in Sentosa or Gardens by the Bay (Children’s Garden only). And if you are paying, there is the SEA Aquarium, Science Centre and lots of theme parks.
Thanks to the robust medical infrastructure, in case you have an emergency, you can ensure proper treatment for your child in Singapore.

Activities & Things to Do

Activities and Things to do in Singapore

Exciting activities to do in Singapore are:

Adventure Sports

Thrill-seekers rejoice! Singapore offers night safari, F1, indoor skydiving and even water sports like scuba diving, snorkelling, river safari, stand-up paddle boating, reverse bungee, kayaking and indoor surfing to holidayers.

Whether you wish to buy electronics for yourself or souvenirs for family or just window shop, the countless malls and shopping streets of Singapore will baffle you. Pick Orchard Road for high-end malls and branded articles or head to Chinatown or Little India for big bargains.

Explore the Parks & Gardens

It is not just nature reserves but manmade gardens that add to the greenery of Singapore. Stroll through Gardens by the Bay, Fort Canning Park or Singapore Botanic Gardens among several others.

What to do in Singapore for Honeymoon

The ideal Singapore honeymoon package will include various romantic activities like a river cruise along Clarke Quay. A dinner date at the top of Marina Bay Sands, with a bird’s eye view of the entire nation or a night of drinking and dancing at a beach bar in Sentosa are other ideas.

What to do in Singapore with Family

To keep the whole family entertained, a trip to Universal Studios Singapore is highly recommended. If the heart-thumping rides are too wild for your comfort, watch the fireworks and waterworks near the Merlion or visit Singapore Zoo or Jurong Bird Park to feel one with nature.

What to do in Singapore on a Budget

Loads of free things in Singapore await the travel on a shoestring budget. Listen to a live concert at the Esplanade, try the tree-top walk at MacRitchie Reservoir or go on a trail hike to Mount Faber Park or Chestnut Nature Park.

What to do in Singapore for Non Swimmers

One does not need to know swimming to make the most of Singapore’s nightlife, walking tours or food trails. In fact, the underwater glass tunnel that is also the famous SEA Aquarium, lets you observe sea creatures without even getting wet!

It is only a few hours from India to Singapore but the buzz of activity there feels like it’s a world far removed from your humdrum life. Plan your vacation soon to experience all the best offerings of this tiny nation.

Travellers should refer to the ICA website for the latest information on travelling to/from or transiting through Singapore.

Entry and Exit

Singaporeans are required to obtain a visa before travelling to India. There should be at least six months' validity on your passport on the expected date of departure from India. As visa requirements often change at short notice, we advise you to contact your travel agency, or the High Commission of India in Singapore for up-to-date information.

e-Visa Facility for Entry into India – The Indian e-Visa is valid for entry through 284 designated airports and 5 designated seaports. Indian e-Visa holders can also exit from any of the authorised Immigration Check Posts (ICPs) in India. This Indian e-Visa is an addition to the existing Visa services. Singaporeans need to apply for the electronic Visa (e-Visa) prior to arrival, i.e. submit your Indian visa forms online and secure the necessary approval before departing for India. Upon arrival in India, travellers on the e-Visa would need to proceed to a “Visa on Arrival” counter at the airport to get their visa stamped on their passport. Please refer to the Indian Visa Online website for more information, and beware of fake websites that claim to offer visa services.

There are several types of visas issued for travel to India, such as Tourist, Business, and Medical visas. The validity of all visas commences from the date of issue of the visa and not the date of arrival in India. You should ensure that you obtain the right visa for your travel purposes.

Overseas Citizen of India (OCI) card holders: OCI cardholders do not require a visa to enter India, and only need to present a valid passport and OCI card.

If your passport is lost or stolen in India, you will need to do the following:

Lodge a police report with the Indian authorities.
Report a lost passport online with ICA or contact the Singapore High Commission in New Delhi or Consulates in Mumbai or Chennai.
Depending on your location, the nearest Overseas Mission will contact you for the collection once your passport or Document of Identity (DOI) is ready.
One (for DOI application) or two (for passport applications) passport-sized photographs. Instant photographs are acceptable.
A copy of your police report.
Documentary proof of your Singapore Citizenship (such as your Singapore Identification Card or Driving License) to verify your identity.
Relevant fees for the application.
Travellers can refer to ICA's website for more information on loss of passports overseas.
For DOI holders, you will need an exit permit from the Foreigners Regional Registration Office (FRRO) . You will need to provide proof of address in Delhi and one passport-sized colour photograph. Please note that exit permits are not issued on weekends or Indian Public Holidays. The contact details for the FRRO in New Delhi are:

Travel restrictions around designated tribal areas: The movement of tourists around designated Restricted or Protected Areas requires permission from the Indian authorities. The list of areas can be obtained from the Bureau of Immigration . Travellers should seek advice from the High Commission of India to Singapore when planning to visit these areas.

Additional Information

Natural disasters: Parts of India are susceptible to natural disasters like monsoons, cyclones and earthquakes. There can be widespread disruptions to services when they occur. Travellers can monitor the media and the India Meteorological Department website for updates.

Mosquito-borne diseases: Malaria is a risk in parts of India, including in major cities. Dengue fever and Chikungunya fever are quite prevalent. Travellers should take precaution against mosquito-borne illnesses:

Make sure that your accommodation is mosquito-proof, such as through the presence of mosquito nets or screen doors.
Take measures to avoid insect bites. Use insect repellent and wear light-coloured, loose-fitting clothing. Avoid outdoors at dawn and dusk.
Discuss your travel plans and vaccination needs with your doctor prior to travel.

Travellers may refer to this guide for more information on protection against mosquitos.

General Travel Advice

Overseas Travel – Be Informed & Be Safe [Updated on 8 August 2024]

Singaporeans planning overseas travel are reminded to take the necessary precautions, including being prepared to deal with accidents, natural disasters or terrorist attacks. Singaporeans are also reminded to be familiar with your destination’s local laws and customs.

Demonstrations do occur in major cities across the world. Such demonstrations can sometimes escalate into violence. It is important for Singaporeans to keep abreast of local news, avoid any protests or demonstrations and heed the advice of the local authorities.

When participating in outdoor leisure activities overseas, Singaporeans should be mindful that certain sporting activities, especially in open seas, may carry risks. Besides ensuring that one has the physical competencies and appropriate condition to undertake the activity, every effort should be made to ascertain if the trip organiser or guide is reliable and competent, and that appropriate safety and contingency plans are in place. When in doubt, Singaporeans should consult the relevant professional bodies or sporting associations for specific advice.

For those planning to travel, here are some tips:

Before travelling

Familiarise yourself with our network of overseas missions.
Purchase comprehensive travel insurance and be familiar with the terms and coverage.
Equip yourself with research about your destination’s entry requirements, current situation, local laws and customs.
eRegister with us on our website ( www.mfa.gov.sg ) so that we may reach out to you during an emergency.

While travelling

Always take care of your personal safety, remain vigilant and monitor local weather news, advisories, and security developments.
Exercise caution around large gatherings and avoid locations known for demonstrations or disturbances.
Be prepared for possible delays and last-minute changes in travel plans especially during unforeseen events such as natural disasters, social unrest or terror attacks.
Stay connected with your friends and family. Inform them of your whereabouts and provide them with your overseas contact details.
In the event that you require consular assistance, please contact the nearest Singapore Overseas Mission or call the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Duty Office at +65 6379 8800/+65 6379 8855.

Advisory: Email Scams

There have been reports of individuals receiving scam emails/messages purportedly sent from friends in distress overseas. These emails/messages typically originate from an email address/social media known to the receiver bearing claims of the sender getting into trouble overseas and urgently requesting financial assistance. The sender would also claim to have approached a Singapore Embassy/Consulate and the local Police for help to no avail.

MFA takes the safety of all Singaporeans very seriously. Singaporeans in distress approaching our Overseas Missions for assistance will be rendered with all necessary consular assistance. If you receive such emails/messages from purported friends seeking funds transfers, we strongly advise you to call them first to verify the authenticity of the emails/messages before responding to their request. It is also not advisable to give out any personal information such as NRIC/passport numbers, address, telephone number, etc. Any form of reply, even one of non-interest, could result in more unsolicited emails. Members of the public who suspect that they have fallen prey to such scams should report the matter to the Police immediately.

Singaporeans abroad who require consular assistance can contact the Singapore High Commission in New Delhi or Consulates-General in Mumbai or Chennai or call the Ministry of Foreign Affairs 24-hr Duty Office at +65 6379 8800/+65 6379 8855 or email at [email protected] .

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is a ministry of the Government of Singapore responsible for conducting and managing diplomatic relations between Singapore and other countries and regions.
